I only kept records of who people put at #1 and who they gave point deductions too. But I did keep a note of the highest position every artist was placed. I just didn't keep a note of WHO put them there :lol:

And that's it until Tuesday I'm afraid! Adele Alicia Keys Beyonce Britney Spears Jennifer Lopez Katy Perry Kelly Clarkson Kylie Minogue Lady Gaga Leona Lewis Madonna Nicki Minaj P!nk Rihanna These are the 14 artists left. Nicki f***ING Minaj though? SERIOUSLY? -_- :mellow: Anyway I will lead us into the top 10 whence I return.

16 16 Gwen Stefani 418 Highest Position: 1 (▲▲▲) Number of Votes: 25 Most Known Songs: What You Waiting For, Don't Speak, The Sweet Escape http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vXWP4-N3Atw/TS-u3YY_1HI/AAAAAAAAAOo/aOocWlWa8UI/s1600/gwen-stefani2.jpg Next up we have Gwen Stefani who is strong enough to remain in the same position she achieved last year! I was always more of a fan of No Doubt's material than Gwen's solo output and the cogs have been grinded into motion as the band have reunited and are expected to unleash their first new album of material since 2002 at some point this year. Other than the massive 'Don't Speak', I think 'Simple Kind Of Life' and 'Just A Girl' are worthy of mentions from the No Doubt back catalogue. There's loads more but I confess I haven't listened to the albums in a while :( Gwen became one of the biggest popstars on the planet for a couple of years back in the mid-00s with two successful studio albums and a string of worldwide hits. I think her appeal is the fact she can blend the genres of Ska, pop and rock whilst in No Doubt and then go and release something as chavaliscious as 'Hollaback Girl' for instance and dominate the urban orientated American market. One thing I do miss about solo-Gwen is those sexy little Japanese floozies she always had running around with her. Good times. QtTj4cramPM 15 9= Christina Aguilera 438 Highest Position: 2 Number of Votes: 27 Most Known Hits: Hurt, Beautiful, Fighter http://mbkentertainmentblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/christina-aguilera1.jpg* Next up the first of 3 artists to fall out of last year's top 10 and not surprisingly, it's the biggest flop of them all in the form of Christina Aguilera. Bursting onto the scene in late 1999 with the chart topping 'Genie In A Bottle', Christina cemented her status as one of the bubblegum pop royals alongside N*Sync and Britney. She had a fantastic run of singles during the 2000s including one of the best pop albums of the last decade in the form of 'Stripped'. Sadly, Christina likes to leave huge gaps between her releases. She's like a less interesting version of Kate Bush in that respect. Not to mention that her output has slowly gotten worse over the years. I was never fond of 'Back To Basics'. It was too 'show-off' to me and the less said about 'Bionic' the better. Whether or not Christina will ever be able to mount a full scale comeback who knows? She's currently part of NBC's 'The Voice', which has gone down a storm in the US and has even had a moderate sized hit with Maroon 5 whose frontman Adam Leveine was also part of the judging panel. Then again if J-Lo can do it why can't Christina? xB7pQpNx-F4 * image may be out of date but recent pictures show her looking really porky :(

18 22 Lily Allen 374 Highest Position: 4 Number of Votes: 25 Most Known Hits: Smile, The Fear, LDN Bitch Slap(s): 1 (The Controller) http://www.celebritypicnic.com/celebrities/lily-allen/mainimage.jpg Never liked Lily Allen. Her continued popularity continues to boggle me. She does have some decent songs but for the most part, I can't quite place my finger on the dislike. Despite not releasing any material at all last year she climbs into the top 20 (one of 5 artists to do so or debut). Lily is of course the daughter of Keith Allen - the douche behind the 1998 football related hit 'Vindaloo'. In her own right, she's released two top 2 albums in the UK both which have sold in the region of a million copies. She's also scored two chart toppers, though 2009's 'The Fear' is comparatively bigger to 2006's 'Smile' due to the shifting market. Her second effort is FAR better than 'Alright Still', but I still felt something was lacking. I think it's a combination of her personality, voice and lyrics that grate on me a little. Especially on songs like 'Littlest Things' which are nothing more than a wail to my ears... -RgOm_WJKpE 17 24 Avril Lavigne 379 Highest Position: 1 (Doug, LaLa2586) Number of Votes: 21 Most Known Hits: Girlfriend, Sk8ter Boi, My Happy Ending http://sp7.fotolog.com/photo/7/56/65/justin__bieber_1/1311367980699_f.jpg Next up we have Avril Lavigne. I was pretty hooked on the Canadian pop-rock princess back in the day. Her debut album 'Let Go' was flawless when I was in a vat of angst just perfect for a marathon of 'Dawson's Creek'. Every track is still pretty listenable, despite the fact that the material has not aged all that well. Of course 'Under My Skin' released in 2004 will always be my favourite album from Avril. It's darker and moodier and shows a decent evolution in Avril's style. 'The Best Damn Thing' in 2007 took a MASSIVE step back, though is arguably the most pop fueled effort released by Avril and home to her biggest hit 'Girlfriend'. The singer finally returned in 2010 with 4th studio album 'Goodbye Lullaby'. There's some pretty decent tracks on there such as 'Push' and 'Wish You Were Here' which are more than capable of standing up to the might of Avril's back catalogue, but for the whole, the album was very samey and not in a good way. Sales wise its under performed suggesting that the career of Avril is heading down the gutter. It's to be expected when the album lacks any sort of major stand out track when her contemporaries are releasing gems like 'Firework', 'Bad Romance' and the like. She evidently remains a BJ favourite though, shooting up 7 places. dGR65RWwzg8

19=19 Kelly Rowland 366 Highest Position: 4 Number Of Votes: 27 Most Known Hits: When Love Takes Over, Commander, Dilemma http://eartodastreetz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/kelly-rowland-09.jpg The Rowland is actually 30 years old now. She looks mighty hot if that's so :o. Anyway, Kelly as we all know rose to fame as one third of Destiny's Child. After appearing on Nelly's mammoth hit 'Dilemma' back in 2002, the singer launched her own solo record 'Simply Deep' which was a surprise #1 in early 2003. Other than the beautiful 'Stole', I wasn't very impressed personally. Kelly has struggled to shift albums since then, returning every few years with a minor hit such as 'Work' in 2008 or 'Commander' last summer. She's embraced her dance-pop roots in favour of her soul days on recent releases and is part of one of the best summer anthems of recent years imo ('When Love Takes Over). Rowland's latest album 'Here I Am' has finally been released and she holds strongly in the top 20 this year. It'll be interesting to see how her addition to the judging panel of the UK X Factor will affect her career... woYwpCgnDpY 19= 13 Shakira 366 Highest Position: 1 (152chris) Number of Votes: 22 Most Known Hits: Whenever Wherever, Hips Don't Lie, Waka Waka (Time For Africa) http://tribunadosol.com.br/arquivos/not_20110618161908.jpg Tying with Rowland at #20 is Columbian crazy Shakira. I still remember the days when she'd sing about her breasts being confused with mountains and perform a very erotic mud dance. Shakira's music career has been in full swing for 2 decades now, during which she has demonstrated her versatility by releasing a mixture of rock n roll, pop, Latin and Middle Eastern influenced music. Her first foray into the English charts came with 2002's 'Laundary Service' which landed two top 3 hits (amongst them the infamous 'Whenever Wherever'). Wikipedia reports that Shakira's 2006 smash 'Hips Don't Lie' was the biggest selling single in the world over the last decade. Her world cup hit from 2010 has also had astonishing success - being deemed one of the most viewed videos on the internet and the best selling single ever released to be associated with the football event. uwBwKcQ1k84

22 NE Nicole Scherzinger 335 Highest Position: 2 Number of Votes: 22 Most Known Hits: Poison, Don't Hold Your Breath, Right There http://sp1.fotolog.com/photo/17/45/65/mechiii_eternity/1286423763871_f.jpg Returning I be and starting us off tonight is the 3rd highest new entry from former Pussycat Doll, Nicole Scherzinger. It really is just like having PCD though but without the rest of them in the background dancing like sluts and offering the odd ad-lib. After a failed solo attempt back in 2007 with the unforgettable (for all the wrong reasons) 'Baby Love', it looked like Nicole's solo prospects were no more. However, working with Red One on lead single 'Poison' which is an infectious little screech of venom, and scoring a #1 hit with 'Don't Hold Your Breath' has totally reversed the odds. With constant television promotion slots, coverage on the UK X Factor and soon the US version as well, I think Nicole is going to be an unstoppable force over the next couple of years. 'Killer Love' is a very solid pop album. Even the tracks that try too hard are still passable. ymkVsRbt3r4 21 23 Robyn 353 Highest Position: 2 Number Of Votes: 22 Most Known Hits: With Every Heartbeat, Handle Me, Dancing On My Own http://images.mundomusical.org/MundoMusical.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/nuevo-video-de-robyn-call-your-girlfriend.jpg Robyn still has a massive fan base and decent radio support but her career is looking a bit peaky in the UK as of late. Despite two albums released last year under one volume 'Body Talk', sales have declined massively from her huge 2007 comeback with the sensational 'With Every Heartbeat'. That said and Robyn is still doing what she's been doing since the 1990s - creating decent pop tunes that most stars outside of Sweden would kill to get their hands on. For me she's yet to better that infamous #1, but doesn't mean her material isn't still wonderful. _PDNRTCuPyQ

TBF the Jessica & Hoyt thing was ALWAYS boring. I've never really bought it. There is no chemistry between the actos at all. Maybe that's just me. I am LOVING season 4 though! There's still a lot going on but it's definately better paced than the last series. Eric is actually rather sweet when he doesn't remember who he is and I agree with Pam being absolutely amazing. I have always loved her - even in the books. Her rotting flesh and that veil were hilarity. And I honestly could not see any reason why Tara would EVER get involved with a vampire. She evidently hates them etc. Then again she is one of the few characters that is utterly unpredictable imo. Am loving this witch stuff though.

The books are a hell of a lot more structured and interesting than TVD ones. But then TVD series barely follows its literary counterpart so I don't expect this to either. Regardless, it looks fantastic image and cast wise. Not sure about the content though. But then again TVD was very slow and dull at first and now I regard it as one of my favourite shows on television. Artwork is stunning.

People actually LIKE ANTM? OKKKKKKKK. That said I really can't wait for 'Ringer'. Anything that brings the goddess incarnate that is SMG back to our screens is welcome. I do fear for it though on The CW, but I guess it's the best shot it has of having a good run as long as it doesn't tank on lift off (which I highly doubt).

I actually like 'Next To You' :/

Sorry y'all. I've been busy past couple of days! Will crack on with this tomorrow though :-D

I'm sorry but why are people still voting? :lol:

I'm sure it is them :heehee: They can't even get their facts right half the time, so what makes you think spelling and grammar matters to them either? :lol:

Nirvana. Spice Girls (I know people will laugh at this and they are hideously naff now looking back but they dominated the world and every girl band since has wanted to match that success. I remember GA saying so in one of their early interviews) Michael Jackson Madonna Blur Oasis Green Day Beck Tori Amos P!nk Foo Fighters Bjork TLC I will add more if I think of them ^_^ I genuinely think this site needs some form of best artist ever competition.

Doesn't explain how they both got so high though :lol:

http://edownloadmusicas.com/gerarlink.co.cc/achedownloads_imagens/316183_t_1211101038.jpg 24 35 Kelis 317 Highest Position: 3 Number of Votes: 21 Most Known Hits: Milkshake, Acapella, Trick Me Ah Kelis. How good it is to see you making progress. Can you believe that she has yet to attain a UK #1 hit? Not that she hasn't gotten close on three occasions with 'Trick Me', 'Milkshake' and most recently 'Bounce'. Albums wise she's never been much a seller, which is a shame because she is capable of putting out some masterpieces. I always found 'Kaleidoscope' to be her best but last year's 'Flesh Tone' blew that out of the water. It's strange because I find Kelis' music to be likeable whatever style she's invoking. She's an extremely underrated singer in the music world, barely getting a mention amidst the far more popular singers, yet her hit potential still hasn't died down after over a decade since she first released 'Caught Out There'. In addition to that angsty beauty and her three #2s I've already mentioned she's also bombarded our top 5 with 'Millionaire' (#3, 2004), 'Lil Star' (#3, 2007) and 'Acapella' (#4, 2010). Y9_JWxzXq0I http://www.dailydoseoflies.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/keha-styrofoam2.jpg 23 62 Ke$ha 321 Highest Position: 2 Number of Votes: 21 Most Known Hits: Tik Tok, We R Who We R, Blah, Blah, Blah Next up we have the BIGGEST CLIMBER on the countdown. Soaring up 39 places we have resident drunk/sleaze/ex-hooker/cannibal/icon Ke$ha. My opinion of Ke$ha shifts constantly. I won't deny that she makes pretty awesome pop tunes, as evident with her entire 'Animal' LP being one of the best pop records of the past year or so. The EP that followed it 'Cannibal' was pretty dire though and merely just a rehash of everything she's already done. I do admit that her style is very one track. She evidently has a trace of talent but prefers to throw her outlandish personality, autotuned goodness and risque lyrics about getting drunk, having sex etc etc out there instead. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that as it clearly captures the hearts of the youth of today (the gays ADORE her), but I just don't see it creating a long career for her. Hopefully, her next feature length album will show some sort of progress. Still say she should've released 'Kiss & Tell' or 'Blind' -_-. QR_qa3Ohwls

And the 4th highest new entry goes to... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JLhHfuZjGeo/TclVzUJcCkI/AAAAAAAAASQ/dcCmR3PQs9M/s1600/Jessie%20J.jpg 26 NE Jessie J 286 Highest Position: 2 Number of Votes: 16 Most Known Songs: Price Tag, Do It Like A Dude, Nobody's Perfect I never thought A LOT of Jessie J. Back at the end of 2010 when everybody was raving about her/dubbing her 'The Next Best Thing' etc etc, all I saw was 'Do It Like A Dude' - a dreadful record that renders itself unlistenable in its attempt to parody the music scene. I will give J her dues though, 'Price Tag' is a very catchy piece of pop that is every bit a modern classic but other than that the attraction is very thin for me. 'Nobody's Perfect' was saved only by it's brilliantly put together video and the rest of the album is lacking anything that makes me think Jessie's success is going to be long term. All the hype seems to have paid off for her though as she has three top 10 hits and a debut record that's shifted over half a million units so far. On top of that she's also had a pretty decent level of success abroad including the US. Personally, I am disgusted she's managed to get so high and I can't help thinking she's looks like Chas from Emmerdale only not as wonderful :( aSZVYZTze74 http://www.ilikemusic.com/images/article_images/full/alexandraburke_montage_620.jpg 25 18 Alexandra Burke 294 Highest Position: 3 Number of Votes: 18 Most Known Songs: Bad Boys, All Night Long, Hallelujah Next we move to Alexandra Burke. I personally think she is now my favourite out of The X Factor gang (not that that's saying a lot). I loved 'Overcome' and think it was everything Leona Lewis' album needed to be. Upbeat, catchy and still demonstrating Alexandra's vocal ability. Now I'm not about to go all 'LOON' on y'all because I'm not that sad. I mean, the whole 'rent-a-rapper' thing to get a hit is very lazy but with six top 20 singles under her belt and a double platinum album, it doesn't have seemed to have done her much harm. Alex has a huge battle on her hands to ensure album #2 goes the same way. It's been pushed back to early next year to avoid clashing with the rest of Cowell Inc come Christmas, though we should be hearing new material any day now. Burke has made the news recently due to Twittergate, in which she got into a bit of a battle with the hideous Example, siding with The Saturdays against his slurs. tPCHq63gSwk

http://www.clashmusic.com/files/imagecache/big_node_view/files/bjork_10.jpg 28 26 Bjork 255 Highest Position: 1 (Casey, JakeWild, Mattias) Number of Votes: 14 Most Known Songs: It's Oh So Quiet, Hyperballad, Army Of Me For the second year in a row Bjork finishes VERY high. Much highly than I predicted. Who'd have thought BJ secretly loves the Icelandic nutball? Of course being placed 1st by 3 different people will help your cause no end. I personally adore Bjork. I was converted after I heard her 'Post' album in my late teens and purchased all of her albums thenceforth. 'Homogenic' remains my personal favourite. Bjork embodies the true feelings of humanity in her songs - the often indecisive state we all inhabit rather than just straight out love songs (see 'Hyperballad). I am on the edge of my seat for the release of her next offering 'Biophilia' at the end of September. It's very rare that an artist can get so far into their career and still produce astonishing material ('Volta'). What always saddens me is that the hideous 'It's Oh So Quiet' is the first thing people think of when you mention Bjork. That and her penchant for beating up paparazzi in a psychotic rage of course. Whilst ISOSQ captures everything she is about perfectly, she has far better songs on offer. CONVERT TODAY. ZP5OA0SCMZA 27 15 Mariah Carey 278 Highest Position: 2 Number of Votes: 20 Most Known Songs: We Belong Together, Hero, All I Want For Christmas For You http://images.paraorkut.com/img/artists/images/m/mariah_carey-277.jpg I suffered from depression and the ilk some years ago. It must have been bad because I believed that Mariah Carey's music was emotional and soothing - when it probably only made matters worse. Alas it was for a brief time before I realised that she has a cracking personality but her voice is like a chain saw turning your bones to dust. I'm not denying the woman has talent and she has released some pretty awesome songs (Christmas, Heartbreaker, Obsessed etc), yet it's just her desire to move through an entire vocal range in about 2 minutes flat with her horrid little squeals splurged in all over the place (apparently this is known as the WHISTLE REGISTER HEH). The Americans have always lapped her up and her success comes and goes on British shores, but there is no denying that she is one of the biggest selling female artists to ever grace the planet. In America, her record of 18 number ones on the Billboard chart is still to be beaten by any solo artists and the only females to sell more albums than Carey in her homeland are Barbra Streisand and Madonna. She seemed to hit a bit of a rough patch with last studio effort 'Memoirs of An Imperfect Angel' and it's rumoured that new material could surface by the end of 2011. The singer recently gave birth to twins whom she named Monroe and Moroccan... VVVOl4mDOnI

http://www.eaboutyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Nelly-Furtado-1.jpg 30 14 Nelly Furtado 235 Highest Position: 8 Number of Charts: 19 Most Known Tracks: I'm Like A Bird, Promiscuous, Say It Right Next up we have Nelly Furtado who takes a rather hefty tumble this year. I gather this is due to the fact that she has released nothing of worth in about half a decade now? I'm all for multilingual fun but after you've done a 'Lopez' (I believe that should be a term in the dictionary) with the 'Loose' album, hibernating for three years and then releasing a record entirely in Spanish is only going to alienate the Americans and British who couldn't care for European music if it slapped them in the face wearing the members of A*Teens. That and a low profile greatest hits compilation which flopped at the end of last year and I really feel that her success days are over :( I'd like to be proven wrong though as 'Folklore' remains a masterpiece and 'Loose' despite being VERY inconsistent had some blinding single releases as well as a few under appreciated album gems (I always liked 'Afraid' :(). Come back Nelly! :( 5E0Rb1y6XAY http://www.smvblog.com/nonita/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/florenceandthemachines.jpg 29 33 Florence Welch 237 Highest Position: 2 Number of Charts: 18 Most Known Tracks: Dog Days Are Over, Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up), You Got The Love Going the opposite way to Nelly is the Welch. A lot of people find her banshee induced image and shriek to be very irritating but she has certainly grown on me. I feel a lot of that is due to my housemate playing her album 'Lungs' constantly but meh. Florence emerged on the scene in late 2008 with her machine and buzz single 'Kiss With A Fist' which received huge exposure on the 4Music channel. Her debut album was launched six months later, but was denied that elusive chart topper by a surge of purchases of the late Michael Jackson's material. It eventually stormed to #1 at the start of 2010 thanks to her version of The Source's 'You Got The Love' (Hasn't that song been re-released enough times as it is? :(). My personal favourite of hers is 'Dog Days Are Over' which not even the Glee Cast could ruin for me. I love how she has traces of Kate Bush about her but still manages to bring something different to the table. All eyes are now on her the forthcoming second record will compare to her 1.3 million selling debut... iWOyfLBYtuU

Such fantastic chart runs for All 4 One and Let Loose yet they end up having their sales reduced so massively? :( I've seen 710,000 and 560,000 for each before the change. Boggles me that even in the 1990s, that such huge adjustments have to be made for sales :wacko: Both songs are FAR better than pretty much 50% of the rest of them :lol:

I'm now going to reveal the remaining 31 females one by one. WOOOOOO!! http://www.alwaysontherun.net/katetop3.jpg 31 17 Kate Bush 226 Highest Position: 2 Number of Votes: 13 Biggest Hits: Wuthering Heights, Running Up That Hill, Babooshka Kate Bush is one of the most inventive and bizarre female singers around. Blasting to critical and commericial acclaim in the late 1970s with her chart topper 'Wuthering Heights' based on the book of the same name, Bush has been a musical force for over 30 years. Despite the fact that she just seems to churn out a new album whenever she feels like it, Kate scores extremely well for the second consecutive year with the BuzzJack voters, dropping just 14 places. Her most famous hit these days is probably 'Running Up That Hill' which was covered by Placebo a few years ago. I personally prefer their version and think Kate has far better in her back catalogue. wp43OdtAAkM

VICKERS? Once her second album sees the light of the day she will be nothing more than a mere memory, left for dead on the bottom shelf of the pop hierarchy, accepting mouldy cupcakes from the Cheeky Girls. I don't need to be Sybil Trelawney to figure that out -_- The other four are fairly decent. SEB caught a one way train to Flopville many years ago, yet her loyal fans still hold her in high regard. Aside from the fact that her latest album has still to gel with me, I give her her dues for her constant refusal to give up. Oh and the divine 'Trip The Light Fantastic.' Fergie has been part of the Black Eyed Peas since their 2003 breakthrough single 'Where Is The Love?'. . Fergie's own solo career was short lived and she returned to the band in time for the unstoppable 'E.N.D' era which spawned 'I Gotta Feeling', which still refuses to budge from the public conscience. Once at the top of their game, the Peas decided the best direction to take was to molester an 80's movie classic. Tsk tsk. I am psyched for the return of Evanescence, even if the concept of an electro-album does leave me quite terrified, I am just estatic about hearing Amy Lee's passionate and haunting vocals on CD again. She's done surprisingly well considering the band haven't released an album in half a decade. I can only assume that people are rediscovering her music in time for album three which is penciled in for October. VegiZKsbqNk

Imagine me adding the damn things up and shaking my head in morbid disbelief at some of the votes and you'll find we be very much on the same page :lol:
