Deetah is an interesting one, I maybe should have included her as my primary point of reference is usually either where they grew up or (if known) citizenship held. Most of the Wikipedia categories she is in actually take her to be British! Eric Turner was born and raised in the US to an American family, so I've got him as American. He is resident in Sweden now though, so like a number of these cases, "you pays your money..." There are a few cases where things could be interesting, for instance if Tina Turner has another new hit (unlikely but not impossible) do we consider her now as Swiss? Sir Cliff is now a Barbadian national, born in India but I will always mark him as British. I've got Placebo there because of a Swedish member, but where does Brian Molko fit in? British or Belgian? He also spent time during his childhood in Lebanon and Liberia. Allocating someone's nationality can be a minefield even where much of the required information is known. It is even worse when a lot of the pieces of the jigsaw are hard to find, for instance most of those who made "fake" pre-release versions a couple of years ago. I don't pretend to be right every time (or even to be 100% consistent but I think I've done a reasonable job).

Yep, 188 artists in my database from Italy. Quite a few of them seem to be various different combinations of the same people though!

Looking at doing more Nordic countries I have come across an act called "Skandi Girls", who had a Top 40 hit with "Do The Can Can" at Christmas 2004. The last Virgin book says "Swedish/Norwegian/Finnish female vocal group". I am happy with the last three words but can find nothing to corroborate their nationalities or a simple list of members. It might even be a British novelty group posing as Scandis for all I know. Can anyone put any flesh on the bones please?

Artists have owned record companies and pushed their own products through them for decades. Why should a streaming service be any different?

In that case, consider Spain added to the list of requests. Finland coming later tonight

And it's quite ironic that someone complaining about lack of capitalization in an article subtitles it as being at the "bbc".

Sorry, can't do those who charted in the US, only the UK singles chart.

I'll add those to the list of requests. There's only single figures of artists from either country.

Well if you look at the single artwork, Dakota should be capitalized as well. Yes, the typo on Dakota and the other chart position errors were avoidable, but if that bring out such irritation in you, perhaps you need to chill a little. Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes.

Surely that was because they couldn't distinguish between "sales" generated when the track was free when pre-ordering the album, or genuine sales of the individual track?

Technically speaking it's not a Scandinavian country, but here is Iceland. I thought there might be a few more to be honest even though it's a small country in terms of population. If I've got any of the spellings right, please do say so.

Maybe not alone, but probably in the minority. I've not heard "Pillowtalk" yet and don't care if I never hear the other two again.

The lead singer (Lukas Graham Forchhammer) is 27. Don't know about the other members.

I could do, but a) I prefer a "hook" to base it on, and b) it would have to be a country with a reasonable number of artists to make it interesting but not too many to just be a mass of text. I guess requests could be made?

Just looked up Daze - both the above had one week in the 76-100 range back in 1998 (@ 76 & 95 respectively). Therefore they will appear in my data when I backtrack that far with the "added" portion of the charts.

With reference to Lukas Graham entering the chart this week, I have produced a list of Danish (and part-Danish) acts to have made the UK charts. My data currently consists of Top 100 since April 2009 and Top 75 before that (so it is a little bit of a compromise but I don't think that makes a whole lot of important differnence here) Key - $ = US Number One (1959-date), ✮ UK Million Seller, ➜ Still in Top 100 at this time.
