Top 1000 Artists Of The 80's, 90's And 2000's

***************************************386,840**************************************

#140. MILEY CYRUS (2008-09, #5 - 11 entries)

(#37 Biggest Female Solo Artist)


Last edited:

miley cyrus was born Destiny Hope Cyrus, she rose to fame after starring as the main character in the hit disney show 'hannah montana' which has recently had its final season finale.

:D

Forbes magazine ranked her #35 on the "Celebrity 100" list for earning $25 million in 2008 Her rank improved to #29 in 2009.

Her first major contribution to a soundtrack (not counting credits to the Hannah Montana character) was in 2009 with the soundtrack to Hannah Montana: The Movie. She has also released the live album Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, which peaked at number three in the United States and Canada, and the Wal-Mart-exclusive extended play The Time of Our Lives, which peaked at number two in the United States.

Her father nicknamed her Miley because since she was baby she has always been full of smiles.

Miley has signed a four-album record deal with Hollywood Records.

Miley spends three hours a day with a tutor.

Despite her amazing smile, Miley is using braces.

Miley wrote one of the songs that was featured in Hannah Montana first season, "I Miss You".

Miley co-wrote seven of the songs on her debut album, "Meet Miley Cyrus.

I've been checking this almost everyday. Hoping it won't be too much longer to get to the top 50

Miley also suffers from a heart condition called Tachycardia, which means the heart has a higher than usual beat when in a "resting" state. This can be quite dangerous for adults who would usually work harder than others, which is why Miley is very conscious of the condition when on stage.

Miley Cyrus's Top 5

1	The Climb	2009	#5
2	See You Again	2008	#6
3	Party In The U.S.A.	2009	#6
4	7 Things	2008	#10
5	Hoedown Throwdown	2009	#20

*

In 2008, Cyrus appeared in the Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert film. Cyrus also starred in Bolt in 2008, and recorded "I Thought I Lost You" for the soundtrack, earning her a Golden Globe nomination

In June 2009, Cyrus changed her TV and movie career representation from United Talent Agency to Creative Artists Agency, which had already represented her for music.Also in June, Cyrus began filming her movie The Last Song, based on a novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks, in which she plays a rebellious teenage girl who spends a summer with her estranged father at his home in a quiet beach town.

oh this is sooo much awesomer!!! well i LOOOOVE miley, she's sort of one of those people who i don't admit to liking in real life but she does really well on my chart (all five of the above songs have peaked in my top five).
In order my favourites are: Party in the USA, The Climb, See You Again, Hoedown Throwdown, Fly On The Wall

and my lovely fact direct from our best friend wikipedia is

"Party in the USA" was ranked #4 on the Rolling Stone top 50 of 2009.

i always thought rolling stone was outdated (..goes to look at the number one album of 2009..) oh yep it still is. (U2 - No Line On The Horizon).

Ooooh....well, NLOTH was one of my faves. Album count for 2009 for me...

U2 - 1
Miley Cyrus - 0

1 minute

Cyrus’ The Last Song was released on March 31, 2010, and she is attached to star in two other films, Wings and LOL (Laughing Out Loud). In LOL, a remake of a 2008 French teen comedy, Cyrus plays "a daughter who is involved with all the wrong kids, doing drugs, failing school, but [...whose] mother has her on this perfect pedestal" and says "[She] just fell in love with the story."Wings, based on the first novel in a planned four-book series written by Aprilynne Pike, would star Cyrus as Laurel, a fifteen year old who discovers she is a fairy.

made a mistake, H.M ends next year lol

Top 1000 Artists Of The 80's, 90's And 2000's

***************************************391,252**************************************

#139. SANTANA (1981-82, 1985, 1999-2000, 2002-03, 2006-08, #4 - 8 entries)

(#37 Biggest Band)

The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. Rolling Stone named Santana number 15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947) is a Mexican rock guitarist. Santana became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered rock, salsa and jazz fusion. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and 3 Latin Grammy Awards.

Now I see where you're getting this info from hehe.

The band has had an everchanging line up with over ten vocalists, bass players, drummers, and percussionists.
Smooth was the last Billboard Hot 100 #1 for the 1990s

Santana was born in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico. His father was a mariachi violinist, and Carlos learned to play the violin at age five and the guitar at age eight. Young Carlos was heavily influenced by Ritchie Valens at a time when there were very few Latinos in American rock and pop music. The family moved from Autlán de Navarro to Tijuana, the border city between Mexico and California, and then San Francisco. Carlos stayed in Tijuana but joined his family in San Francisco later and graduated from James Lick Middle School and Mission High School there. He graduated from Mission High in 1965. Javier Bátiz, a famous guitarist from Tijuana Mexico, is said to have been Carlos's guitar teacher who taught him to play a different style of guitar soloing. After learning Batiz's techniques, Santana would make them his own as well.

nah hijinx all this knowledge is in my head

We should also try to estimate the particular artist's top 5, that would be pretty fun.

Wow, look at all these responses to this. Though Chri8 I hope you write up something "officially" in the end.

Although Santana's comeback hit in 1999 is often thought to be born from the band itself, "Smooth" was actually an original composition by Itaal Shur, and lyrically re-written by Rob, whose intention was to give it to George Michael. At the same time, Carlos Santana was hunting around for collaborators and material for Santana's "Supernatural" album. The two came together perfectly, with Rob ending up singing his own song after all.

Santana's Top 5

1	Smooth (featuring Rob Thomas)	1999	#4
2	Into The Night (featuring Chad Kroeger)	2007	#4

Top 1000 Artists Of The 80's, 90's And 2000's

***************************************392,199**************************************

#138. DAVID GUETTA (2006-07, 2009, #1 - 6 entries)

David Guetta (French pronunciation: [david ɡɛˈta]; born 7 November 1967) is a French house producer and DJ. Originally a DJ at nightclubs during the 1980s and 1990s, he co-founded label Gum Productions and released his first album, Just a Little More Love, in 2001. Later, he released Guetta Blaster (2004) and Pop Life (2007). His 2009 album One Love included the hits singles "When Love Takes Over" (featuring Kelly Rowland), and "Sexy Bitch" (featuring Akon), the latter becoming a top five hit in the US. He has worked with a variety of pop artists including Akon, Chris Willis, Kelly Rowland, Lil' Wayne, Madonna, Kid Cudi, Estelle, Fergie, Amy Palmer, K'naan and will.i.am. He is also working with Shakira.

my guess of he's top 5:

1. Sexy Bitch
2. When Love Takes Over
3. Love Don't Let Me Go
4. One Love
5.Memories (#63 in the last week of 2009)

are you just doing 5 artists a day still chris?

David Guetta made #3 on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJ's list for 2009, up from #5 in 2008.

Maria Maria is easily Santana's best followed by Into the Night. Smooth is way overrated.

I like David Guetta. Predict:
1. Sexy Butcher
2. When Love Takes Over
3. Love Don't Let Me Go
4. One Love
5. Old #51-peaker

David Guetta's fourth studio album, One Love, was digitally released on 21 August 2009, and physically released on 24 August 2009 in Europe and 25 August in the United States. Its first single "When Love Takes Over", which featured Kelly Rowland, peaked at #2 on the French singles chart and #78 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. His second single from the album, "Sexy Bitch" (featuring Akon) went to #2 in France and #5 in the US. "One Love" featuring Estelle and "Memories" featuring Kid Cudi followed. Guetta also produced the Black Eyed Peas' single "I Gotta Feeling", which peaked at #1 in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and #2 in France. The album has sold 1.4 million copies worldwide since its release according to Billboard.

Guetta is now working with Akon, Kelis, Céline Dion, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Kelly Rowland on upcoming albums and projects for 2010.

At the beginning of February, rumours regarding Guetta producing music for Lady Gaga began to spread, but in a March interview he stated, "We met. I would love to work with her but there's nothing yet".

In 2009, he was placed third in the "Top 100 DJs" poll by DJ Magazine, and was elected "Best House DJ" by DJ Awards in 2008.

Guetta was nominated for five Grammy awards, three for One Love and two for his work with the Black Eyed Peas. He won the Grammy for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical.

Gee...copy and paste seems to be popular...heh heh!

With six mini-countdowns in this list of the Top 1000 Artists of the last 30 years - Male, Female, Musical Group, Band, Vocal Group and Australia/New Zealand Artist - David Guetta is the highest that doesn't really fit into any category.

There have been a few DJ's appearing in this list, so I guess David Guetta can claim a hidden prize of his own, most successful DJ of the last 30 years...heck, why not go all the way and say ALL TIME!

David Guetta's Top 5

1	Sexy Bitch (featuring Akon)	2009	#1
2	When Love Takes Over (featuring Kelly Rowland)	2009	#6
3	Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)	2006	#32
4	One Love (featuring Estelle)	2009	#36
5	On The Dancefloor (featuring will.i.am & apl.de.ap)	2009	#62

"Memories" entered the Australian Top 100 in the very last week of this 30 year period along with...

"Replay" by Iyaz
"Rock That Body" by The Black Eyed Peas
"Burn Your Name" by Powderfinger
"Doesn't Mean Anything" by Alicia Keys

Not a bad batch for the beginning of a new decade!

that would still count though wouldn't it chri8 so it was #6?

well chris8 said it to me in part 1, once this countdown is over it will be completely irrelevant. LOL <3

meh, its always gonna be true anyway coz its 1980-2009, not 1980 - present ;-)

sexy bitch to re-enter the top 50! and when love takes over to have a sales boom

Top 1000 Artists Of The 80's, 90's And 2000's

***************************************392,626**************************************

#137. KATY PERRY (2008-09, #1 - 5 entries)

(#36 Biggest Female Solo Artist)

Chris A, this countdown is by runs not peak positions. Take these 3 runs:
Song A: 78-42-22-10-4-4-4-5-5-4-5-6-6-7-5-4-4-5-6-8-13-49-15-22-35-39-42-44-49-52-67-60-70-82-94-93-82-87-99-100-87-100
Song B: 99-33-24-20-19-18-20-19-17-24-37-33-39-38-40-92
Song C: 1

By peak position, Song C is #1, but by runs, Song A is clearly #1, and Song B second. Song C achieved the highest peak but only had one week in, however high it was so wasnt high on the altime list.

(ah, yes...sorry, Chris A...was #6)

When this countdown is over, I'll do an update with the last six months added, and again every month.

Which is where I would've started a new thread, but rules are rules...heh heh. I guess I got away with an overlong thread anyway, so credit is due there.

After signing to Capitol Records, Perry began recording tracks for her official mainstream debut album, One of the Boys, and establishing her image was one of the immediate concerns of her management. A campaign was started in November 2007 with the release of the video to "Ur So Gay", aimed at introducing her to the music market. A digital EP led by "Ur So Gay" was later released to create online buzz. This was a successful move that resulted in bringing Perry to the attention of Madonna, who mentioned her on KISS FM and KRQ's JohnJay & Rich morning show in Arizona. On March 10, 2008, she appeared as herself on the ABC Family television series, Wildfire, on the episode "Life's Too Short".

While the buzz over Perry was building, she went on the next step of promoting the album, undertaking a two-month tour of radio stations. The album's official lead single, "I Kissed a Girl", was released on May 6, 2008. With the song climbing atop the charts, Perry embarked on the annual Warped Tour music festival, which her management used to "establish her as a credible performer and make sure she wasn't seen as just a one-hit wonder." The single was a commercial success, peaking at number one for seven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. It has since become a major worldwide hit, topping charts in 30 countries, including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. On June 12, 2008, Perry appeared as herself on the daytime soap opera, The Young and the Restless, and poses for the cover to the June 2008 issue of the fictional magazine Restless Style.

Perry's mother reportedly told British tabloid Daily Mail that she dislikes her daughter's music, calling it "shameful and disgusting". Perry said her mother was misquoted and told MTV that it was false information. Her songs "Ur So Gay" and "I Kissed a Girl" have received negative reactions from both religious and gay sectors. The songs have been respectively labeled as being homophobic and promoting homosexuality, as well as "lezploitational". MTV mentioned criticism suggesting that Perry is using "bi-curiosity" as a way to sell records. Perry responded to the controversy surrounding "Ur So Gay": "It's not a negative connotation. It's not, 'you're so gay,' like, 'you're so lame,' but the fact of the matter is that this boy should've been gay. I totally understand how it could be misconstrued or whatever ... It wasn't stereotyping anyone in particular, I was talking about ex-boyfriends.

Perry rose to fame in 2007 with her internet hit "Ur So Gay", and in 2008 with her breakthrough single "I Kissed a Girl". She passed away of murder and rape on 5 May, 2010.
Perry was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California by Christian pastor parents and grew up listening only to gospel music. After earning a GED during her freshman year of high school, she began to pursue a music career.
As Katy Hudson, she released a self-titled gospel album in 2001. In 2004, she recorded an album with production team The Matrix, but it was never released. After signing on with Capitol Music Group in 2007, she adopted the stage name Katy Perry and released her first mainstream album, One of the Boys.

Be proud of your 900-something posts chri8

But anyway chri8, will you one day post your "official" commentary for the stats, such as on your blog, or is our postings all we ever get?

Preds for Katy:
1. Hot N Cold
2. I Kissed a M@TT
3. Waking Up in Vegas
4. Thinking of You
5. One of the Boys

my guesses

1 I kissed a girl
2 Hot n Cold
3 Waking up in vegas
4 One of the boys
5 Thinking of you

i had to be different lol

bsb bet me to my exact predictions.

It all started with Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock". The first of a long line of US Billboard #1 singles. Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" was officially named the 1000th US #1 hit single. As I've previously mentioned, "I Kissed A Girl" was written by the #946 Biggest artist of the last 30 years, Cathy Dennis, who also wrote Kylie's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head".

Katy Perry's Top 5

1	I Kissed A Girl	2008	#1
2	Hot N Cold	2008	#4
3	Waking Up In Vegas	2009	#11
4	Thinking Of You	2009	#34
5	One Of The Boys	2008	#40

*

lol every1 who predicted gets 3/5, yay xD

Maybe just for the blog 392414, it's been good for ME to have a read for once...

Chris A, "Hot N Cold" is really close to topping "I Kissed A Girl", and as I'm a bit rusty on lower chart action this year, "HNC" may very well be on top by now, especially with it's use on Masterchef.

Stab in the dark for the Vocal Group who comes in at #136???

pussycat dolls? (are they one )
or evanescence (my fave band of all time!!!)

lol not much love for the new kids on the block !

It seemed "Summertime" was the death "Noll" (heh heh) for a couple of artists in 2008. The much-hyped comeback of New Kids On The Block fizzled with their "Summertime" only reaching #90.

Meanwhile, Australian Idols' biggest star, Shannon Noll, released his Greatest Hits album, the first by an Idol star. Shannon's lead track from the package, also titled "Summertime", bombed in comparison to his usual instant hits, reaching #54.

Back to New Kids On The Block, Jordan Knight's Batman shirt in the film clip for "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)" influenced me to follow suite. Hey, I was 14, and easily influence, but you can rest at ease to know I didn't follow their hairstyle trend. My influence in that department was totally via Jason Donovan.

New Kids On The Block's Top 5

1	You Got It (The Right Stuff)	1989	#1
2	I'll Be Loving You (Forever)	1989	#4
3	Step By Step	1990	#8
4	Hangin' Tough	1989	#8
5	Tonight	1990	#16

New Kids on the Block is an American boy band that enjoyed success in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a boy band which went on to sell 80 million records worldwide. Assembled in Boston in 1984 by producer Maurice Starr, the members consist of brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood. They won two American Music Awards in 1990 for Favorite Pop/Rock Band, Duo, or Group and Favorite Pop/Rock Album. After having disbanded in 1994, several attempts were made to get the group back together, all of them unsuccessful. After secretly reuniting in 2007 and recording a new CD, the group released that new album and embarked on a concert tour in 2008. The album, entitled The Block was released on September 2, 2008.

5/5 for Chris A.

Maybe no love for NKOTB...but I'll hold the flame. My personal favourite from the last five.

Thanks for all your comments. Made for an easy night for me, and a productive night for others, but don't worry, I won't be lazy again...heh heh.

Tomorrow "Wet Fuel Rhymes With Angels At Work"...

leanne rhymes is upcoming? lol

and chris, dont worry that was fun, you should do it again <3 lol

I may...before the Top 100 sets in.

Of the last few I love ACDC and Living End the most.

I remember the girls going crazy at school over NKOTB, after that it was East 17 for a few years before Take That took the mantle for a brief year. East 17 was the only one I thought anything of, great voice and they had a bit of attitude seemingly.

I am still hoping two of my all time favourites in No Doubt and Greenday make the top 100. They have a chance.

Real McCoy are still hanging on, higher than I expected and surely the highest selling Eurodance artist.

Darn I fully didn't read the 20 minute per artist thing grrr so I'll just comment on the last four!!!

139. Santana - Hmmm he's had some good tracks - The Game of Love, Smooth, Just Feel Better - but i'm not a huge fan, no definitely not.

138. David Guetta he's alright ---- When Love Takes Over is my fave track followed by Memories, Love Don't Let Me Go and Love Is Gone, although I like the new one Gettin' Over You as well - that would probably round off my top five.

LOVE 137. KATY PERRY!!! Great to see her so high, that makes me very happy. I like all top five singles, and they'd pretty much be in that order for me as well, with If You Can Afford Me being number five instead of One Of The Boys (not counting If We Ever Meet Again and Starstrukk). I'm real happy to see her there.

Meh to 136. They're sorta not my time - even listening to their music now I can't get into it . My fave from them would probably be Step By Step.

I just realised our good friend Alicia Keys hasn't showed yet, and neither has Nelly Furtado. Man a lot of my fave artists from the 2000s are yet to show which makes me happy!

OH GUTS!

#277. ALICIA KEYS (2001-03, 2007-09, #3 - 9 entries)

Alicia Keys has had a hard time matching her US success in Australia. With four #1 albums in the US, and a #2 with her latest, "The Element Of Freedom", we've only been able to give her two #3 albums, and a poor showing for the other three. Her singles output is the same, enjoying two #1's in her home country and another four Top Tens, but Australia gave her just two. With our charts dominated by the Britney's, the Crazy Frog's, the Soulja Boy's, why is it that we can't honour "real" talent. Oh well. Alicia's showing in the Top 300 is still a mighty fine effort, but realistically, it should have been so much more

I must have missed this lot but I like the commentary a lot Chri8. At least she made it in i suppose!

Oh well hanging on for Beyonce as well and of course Mrs Carey-Cannon or whatever she wants to be called probably just Miss Carey

Isn't Miley Cyrus a man?

Loved the last 5!!!

Love Miley Cyrus, top 5 would be:
1 See You Again
2 Party In The USA
3 Fly On The Wall
4 7 Things
5 Hoedown Throwdown

Santana is even better and probably my fave from the last five, top 5 would be:
1 Smooth
2 Just Feel Better
3 Why Don't You & I
4 Into The Night
5 This Boy's Fire OR The Game Of Love

David Guetta is great too, top 5 would be:
1 Love Is Gone
2 When Love Takes Over
3 Love Don't Let Me Go
4 Sexy Bitch
5 Everytime We Touch OR Delirious

Katy Perry is another great artist, top 5 are:
1 I Kissed A Girl
2 Hot 'N' Cold
3 Thinking Of You
4 One Of The Boys
5 Waking Up In Vegas OR Ur So Gay

NKOTB are good too, top 5 are:
1 Step By Step
2 Summertime
3 I'll Be Loving You (Forever)
4 You Got It (The Right Stuff)
5 Hangin' Tough OR If You Go Away

Miley Cyrus isn't that bad as the media makes her out.

The only song I like from her is the climb.

Sanatana's alright - a bit average if you ask me.

The current and only song I like from David Guetta is Getting Over You (which isn't even in this list at the moment)

All of Katy Perry's songs are pretty good.

Don't think anyone's mention it yet but Smooth - by Santana had one of the longest runs in Billboard History as well as the longest amount of time spent in the top 10. If I'm correct it also spent 12 ish weeks at #1 (on Billboard).

Yep Smooth was a HUGE hit in the US, and rightly so. Classic!

Smooth - 12 weeks at #1 in US
Maria Maria - 10 weeks at #1 in Us
22 weeks at #1 in US in total

Holy Crap

Summertime was one of my fav NKOTB tracks.

#135. MEN AT WORK (1981-85, 2000, #1 - 7 entries)

(#23 Biggest Australian/New Zealand Artist)
(#36 Biggest Band)

Maybe it was a pure Australian essence of Men At Work's major hit, and signature song, "Down Under", that saw them reach out to an international audience. Their song about Vegemite, flowing beer and, err...chunder, was a #1 hit in Australia, the UK and America, with the accompanying album also topping the Billboard charts, making them the only Australian acts to have a single and album do so. Later on, in 1983, Men At Work would also proved popular at the Grammys, awarded Best New Talent ahead of The Human League and Asia, the only Australian act to claim the lucrative prize (Natalia Imbruglia was oh, so close!). But wait, there's more. I mean, Men At Work are not the one hit wonder the world would think them to be, as the band's debut single "Who Can It Be Now" was a major noise on our own charts, reaching #2 before any sign of "Down Under". There would be three further Top Ten over the following years before "Down Under" made a comeback after our America's Cup win in 1983. The appeal of the band has continued in various muses over the years, and American audiences still have some sort of a love affair with the band. Fans of the hit TV series, Scrubs, would also be familiar with another Men At Work song, "Overkill", which was the title of an episode, and featured Colin Hay on screen performing their Australian Top Ten hit throughout. Of course, where there's success, there's controversy, and Men At Work have been dogged by a lawsuit claiming the flute part of "Down Under" was pinched for the traditional "Kookaburra" song. The band has been forced to hand over a substantial amount of royalty from the song, which in my mind, is terribly "un-Australian". If "Down Under" is a tribute to Australian culture, then I would be honoured that my part was featured. Oh well, in this list, there is no controversy, only success, as Men At Work's place would prove.

Men At Work's Top 5

1	Down Under	1981	#1
2	Who Can It Be Now?	1981	#2
3	Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive	1982	#6
4	Be Good Johnny	1982	#8
5	Overkill	1983	#5

#134. THE ANGELS (1980-1992, 1994-95, 1997, #7 - 30 entries)

(#22 Biggest Australian/New Zealand Artist)
(#35 Biggest Band)

Internationally, they're known as Angel City or The Angels From Angel City, but here in Australia, as simply The Angels, Doc Neeson and his band were regular contributors to the healthy Aussie rock scene during the 80's and early 90's, never missing a year in the Singles charts from 1976-1995 - that's 20 straight years!!! Never hitting the Top 5 in the Singles chart (and the second highest act in this list to do so), the band made up for it with quantity with 36 charting hits during there career, 30 of them representing their success from the last 30 years. The Angels were actually offered a record deal with the Alberts label on the recommendation of Bon Scott from AC/DC, and just like that band, made regular appearances onCountdown, a show that was instrumental in the success of all Australian music during its airing. Although the band had never really been out of the public eye, The Angels experienced somewhat of a re-birth and comeback at the beginning of the 90's, re-surging in the Singles charts, and hitting #1 in the Albums chart for the very first time ever with "Beyond Salvation". The biggest hit from that album, "Dogs Are Talking", also gave a chance for three young Aussie bands to hit a wider audience, with their demo tracks featured as the b-side for the #11 hit. One of those acts was the Baby Animals, who would enjoy their own #1 album two years later. After a break from 2000, The Angels recently reformed for some shows, including theCountdown Spectacular, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut Top 20 album, "Face To Face".

The Angels' Top 5

1	We Gotta Get Out Of This Place	1987	#7
2	No Secrets	1980	#8
3	Dogs Are Talking	1990	#11
4	Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again (Live)	1988	#11
5	Back Street Pick Up	1990	#23

***************************************397,718**************************************

#133. DIESEL (1988-95, 1999, 2006, #4 - 20 entries)

(#21 Biggest Australian/New Zealand Artist)

With his stage name used in his original band, Diesel is represented in this list under a few different guises. Born Mark Lizotte, the future brother-in-law of Jimmy Barnes first came to light in musical circles as part of the short-lived band, Innocent Bystanders. The band had two very minor hits with "Lebanon" (1984, #98) and "Dangerous" (1986, #97), but Mark had already left the group between those hits to form his own collective, The Injectors. As Johnny Diesel, the band quickly formed a sound that was R&B and Blues ladden, but all rock in the end, and with Australia's love affair during the 80's with local pub rock, there's no way the guys could miss. They would win the award for Highest Selling Album at the 1990 ARIA's, but by that time it was all over as Mark/Johnny set out on his own. Dropping the "Johnny", Diesel became one of our premier male solo artists with his debut "Hepfidelity" debuting at #1 in 1992, and his awards of Best Male Artist at the next two ARIA shows. Regularly remembering his roots, Diesel also popped up behind the seems in many of this country's big hits, backing Jimmy & John Farnham on "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby", and The Twelfth Man on "Marvellous", but his own popularity has gradually given way to the young and the beautiful, as his brand of soulful pop/rock is all but gone from our charts. (As a side, Diesel the soloist, and The Injectors the band were spilt for the mini-countdowns, of which both just missed out on their respective fields.)

Diesel's Top 5

1	Don't Need Love (with The Injectors)	1988	#10
2	Soul Revival (with The Injectors)	1989	#9
3	Come To Me	1991	#8
4	Tip Of My Tongue	1992	#4
5	Never Miss Your Water	1993	#12

***************************************398,102**************************************

#132. LeANN RIMES (1996-2003, #1 - 12 entries)

(#35 Biggest Female Solo Artist)

Teenage country singer scales the heights of our charts, sounds all a little too familiar in current times, but, no, we haven't gotten to her just yet. The 90's had their own version in LeAnn Rimes, who first hit our charts, and the Top Ten, at just 14 years old. With Billy Ray Cyrus done with his country reign, and Shania Twain just a year or two away, LeAnn's debut single, "Blue", was probably as close to traditional country music as hit singles could get, echoing the rich vocals of Patsy Cline. At the following Grammy Awards, LeAnn was awarded Best New Talent, along with a couple of others for her hit, including Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Over the next few years, her light continued to shine with a string of chart-topping albums in the US, on both the Country and Mainstream charts. However, that light was beginning to flicker here in Australia, which has never really much of a market for a long-standing Country artist. Enter Coyote Ugly, and LeAnn Rimes was given a second chance, providing the film with its successful theme song. Although the song had minute traces of Country in it, LeAnn had largely turned her back on the genre that had made her the star she was. I'm sure that fact that it was the biggest seller of 2001 didn't cause too much concern for her, and a follow up album release in 2002, "Twisted Angel", added another nail into her Country music coffin, as the pop brilliance of "Life Goes On" gave LeAnn her third Top Ten hit here. Life does goes on, and LeAnn Rimes has since released four albums, all providing strong appearances in the US Country, Adult Contemporary, Mainstream and even Dance charts, however, Australian audiences seemed to have moved on, as a new girl has hit town.

LeAnn Rimes' Top 5

1	Can't Fight The Moonlight	2001	#1
2	Life Goes On	2002	#7
3	Blue	1996	#10
4	How Do I Live	1997	#17
5	I Need You	2000	#51

Scottish band Wet Wet Wet probably should never have made this list. Or rather, would have just made this list. The pop/soul band formed during the early 80's, bringing us their first album six years later, featuring the moderate hit of "Sweet Little Mystery" which peaked at #33 with a decent 20 week run. Two years later they were back, and bigger, as "Sweet Surrender" hit our Top Ten, and just like clockwork, another two years passed before we had the solid run for "Goodnight Girl", which would stall just outside the Top 20. What does get Wet Wet Wet another 800 places higher in this list, is there blockbuster hit from the blockbuster film, Four Weddings And A Funeral. A cover of The Troggs' hit from 1967, "Love Is All Around" did the same in the musical world for Wet Wet Wet as the film did for Hugh Grant - instant success! That success may have been a little too big, though, as the single would spend countless weeks at #1 all over the world, and you know what happens when you have too much of a good thing. Radio stations began the ban the song from their playlists, and Wet Wet Wet themselves made the decision to delete the single from production. One person who didn't mind at all was composer and lead singer of The Troggs, Reg Presley, who spent the money he made from Wet Wet Wet's success on a house, and in research of crop circles - as you do.

Wet Wet Wet's Top 5

1	Love Is All Around	1994	#1
2	Sweet Surrender	1990	#7
3	Goodnight Girl	1992	#21
4	Sweet Little Mystery	1988	#33
5	Julia Says	1995	#38

Breaking the 400,000 point barrier tomorrow!!!

An 80's male solo artist
A 90's male solo artist
A 90's musical group
and two bands from the 2000's

Stay tuned.

lol, i got leann rhymes correct, im so intellegent ,

Down Under is a good song, can get tiring though.

1, 2 and 4 are alright from The Angels.

Tip Of My Tongue is my fave from Diesel, not a fan of much else.

Love Is All Around is amazing!

LeAnn Rimes is definitely my fave from that list. Top 5 are:
1 Can't Fight The Moonlight
2 Life Goes On
3 How Do I Live
4 Blue
5 Big Deal OR I Need You

I have to say I like ALL of the last five. Lot's of great tracks in there! Love is all around is my karoake song.

Leann Rimes is such a talent, I really like her sound and hits. Blue I loved from the first listen all the way back in 1996. From there she started to go pop but talent proove no obsticle taking on the music world.

Angels are one of the aussie classics, great.

Diesel is a high school band for me. He was Mr Cool, but maybe more for the girls at the time.

Men at Work I find typically 80s and typically cheesy. Oh Well..

The 3 aussies bands are my pick of the last 5. All great in their own way and style. Amazing to think the Angels never cracked the Top 5 singles.

Ohh from the last five I only like Leann Rimes. My faves from her are How Do I Live and Blue?

The only artists I know from that last 5 is Wet Wet Wet and they are awesome anyway. Didn't know Love is All Around was that big though.

"two bands from 2000s" - Kings of Leon HAVE to be really close. I'm very surprised they are this high.

Other possible band - Nickelback?

anton, I was thinking KOL as well, but Nickelback would probably be reasonably higher.
That obscure band who picked up a number one hit earlier in the decade that bsb seems to like might be up pretty soon as well.

hijinx, i hope so, i wanna see the facts LOL!
im so gonna buy there new album later in the year

Nickelback are a million times better than KOL, Nickelback have had quite a few big hits over the years, plus many more moderate hits. They'll definitely have sales of over 500,000 (Maybe even around 750,000)

^^^^^They Better. I Agree they are much better the KOL.

Well in my opinion Pre-2008 KOL>2008 KOL although they have gems either side of the equation
Last edited:

In my opinion: Can We Fix It > 10000(KOL+Nickelback)

Well duh, my ears would explode at that amplitude, not to mention the fact that overlaying the two would sound awful

They sound awful seperately so what's the difference?

Nickelback are generally good, just the latest album is a bit average.

Actually I take that back, the frequency would be too low to hear anything, which would make it better than Can We Fix It?

Kings of Leon are generally good, just their last album was average.
Last edited:

Kings of Leon's last album was their best in my opinion. As for who I like more out of Kings or Nickelback, I can't decide. Nickelback's best songs are better than KoL's best, however when Nickelback get it wrong, they are awful. I love several Nickelback songs, but I despise many others. Kings of Leon have great songs and not so good ones, but nothing to either extreme the way Nickelback do.

well i find myself yawning at every KOL song, but then we have nickelback, and i agree with BZ on this one, they have gems but when they screw up..its horrid

im gonna have to say KOL are the better artists.

KoL should be higher then nickelback,with sex on fire being <P>4 and Use Somebody <P>2> and only how you remind me for nickelback going P>2> and 1 other platinum and 3-4 golds,KoL should be higher imo and Sex On Fire and Use Somebody where in the top 100 for ages and with 2008/09 being a higher selling year then any of nickelback's.


I like both bands the same though
Last edited:

Someday also went Platinum, Chris.

According to chri8's end of decade list, How You Remind Me was triple platinum and 15 places off Sex on Fire. Nickelback's longevity will put them ahead easily. It's also worth noting that Nickelback have about twice as many cumulative top 50 weeks.
Last edited:

Nickelback will definitely be higher than Kings Of Leon. They essentially have 2 songs that will make any sort of impact, with Nickelback having How You Remind Me, Someday, Photograph, Far Away, Gotta Be Somebody and many moderate hits which all stack up.

I Think you know who I prefer out of the 2 Bands.

I like both bands just as equally but I'm pretty confident Nickelback will do better than Kings of Leon.

My knowledge of music is very limited - confined to 2000s.

I was just guessing at the top of my head. Who knows? I might be correct.

Kings of Leon are better, since they don't recycle the same song fifty times which is what Nickelback do.

I do agree there HeadInAMuse.

Far Away and Gotta Be Somebody I believe were definitely unique standout tracks though.
Last edited:

I think Nickelbacks longevity and string of moderate hits will push them over the top. KOL have had 2 massive hits and not much else.

Here is a game, rank these rock bands still to come from highest to lowest sellers:

Kings of Leon
Nickelback
No Doubt
Greenday
Metallica

I would guess:
1. Nickelback
2. Green Day
3. Metallica
4. No Doubt
5. Kings Of Leon

Nickelback (unfortunately, sorry Lifter!)
No Doubt
Kings of Leon
Green Day
Metallica

That is quite difficult actually... I love No Doubt's earlier lesser selling songs (including Don't Speak) but always forget they had Rocksteady, Hella Good and It's My Life.
Kings have only had the two sellers, really.
Metallica, well, they were more of an albums band, right? Still had One, UnforgivenI+II, hmmm...
Green Day, well Boulevard, Basketcase, Come Around, Redundant... hmmm...


In the end (where is Linkin Park?!?!) I have changed my answer like 5 times!

I'd say:

1 Nickelback
2 Green Day
3 No Doubt
4 Metallica
5 Kings Of Leon... who I think is coming up soon, within the next 10-20 maybe?

Wow interesting thanks for the rapid response guys. When I posted I would have thought Metallica way out in front of the rest, now I am not so sure..

Metallica have had 9 Top Ten Hits in the ARIA period alone, including a #1 with Until it Sleeps and two #2 hits. Perhaps more hits in the pre ARIA period.

My pic is:
Metallica
Nickelback
Green Day
No Doubt
Kings of Leon

although this is tough.. could go anyway..

I'm not sure but a few of them would be very close

Metallica
Green Day
Nickelback
No Doubt
Kings of Leon

The top 3 are probably the closest.

Lol to think I started all this

I have no idea which one has sold highest. I don't even know who or what No Doubt is but as he/they belong to the same genre as these bands I think there's no doubt that I'll like them. (Sorry pun intended).

Hmmmmm where is Linkin Park?

I would think Linkin Park would come 1st or 2nd on my list...

Also, No Doubt was Gwen Stefani's ska band from the 90s before she went solo/pop!

I'll go out on a limb and pick a different #1:
1. No Doubt; 2. Nickelback; 3. Green Day; 4. Metallica; 5. Kings Of Leon

With the rock bands, are they the ones coming up soon or the highest selling ones (coz if those picks are the highest selling ones, ur missing out on U2)

^ it was just guessing between these 5.

Greenday
Kings of Leon
Nickelback
No Doubt
Metallica
Last edited:

I could give it a crack...heh heh!

Let me say two things.

One of the responses is spot on! Nice.

And only one of the nominated bands made the Top 5 Band list.

Wow! It'd have to be either Nickelback or possibly Green Day, are all 5 actually included in the bands list?

I agree. Either Nickelback or Greenday

All are still to come, of course.

My guesses

1980's male solo artist - Rick Astley?
1990's male solo artist - Will Smith?
90's musical group - Hanson?
2 bands form 2000's - Evanescence and No Doubt?

TOP 5 Band prediction in no particular order

BON JOVI
METALLICA
GREEN DAY
U2
PEARL JAM



Two bands from 2000's coming up will be Lifehouse & Train
Last edited:

Train was on a while ago, Lifehouse were too I'm pretty sure.

Hrmm well that leaves Nickelback & Linkin Park or Coldplay

ARE GOOD CHARLOTTE A BAND?

Coldplay have been Beanster.
Yes Good Charlette are a Band but we will let Chris8 decide on that.

Antonnalan:
You said this " Far Away and Gotta Be Somebody I believe were definitely unique standout tracks though".

I Totally agree with you there, both are in my Top 4 Favorite Singles from them, I also think that If Everyone Cared is a Unique standout Track from them. Even though there are plenty on NB Tracks I like, I will admit that some of them do sound recycled and overused but that does not stop me from liking them.
Last edited:

Based on the responses 3 picked Nickelback for the top, 2 for Metallica and 1 each for No Doubt and Greenday.

I am going to stick with Metallica.

I think it will go like this...

Bon Jovi.
Nickelback.
Metallica.
Green Day.
Pearl Jam.
LInkin Park.
No Doubt.

Ok, interesting Nate however Bon Jovi were not in the original list but I do think they will be out on top outselling all over bands. I think Guns and Roses will land second in the overall band standings though. They have had some massive hits too.

I had thought Linkin Park had been..

U2 will be #1 band hands down

Ah yes of course, I predicted that before the top 500 began. But of the ones you listed. Bon Jovi then Guns.

Hey yeah Good charlotte hasn't shown. Surely they must be in the top 1000 - Dancefloor anthem was huge

#130. RICHARD MARX (1988-92, 1994, 1998, #1 - 13 entries)

(#41 Biggest Male Solo Artist)

Big hair was not a style confined to rock bands such as Poison, Europe and Bon Jovi. 80's balladeer, Richard Marx, reached those same "heights", resulting in major chart success that almost reached that same level, almost. The first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the US Top 5, it would be a long way from his contribution to his father, Dick Marx's jingles company, which included Nestle Crunch, and Arm and Hammer. With his foot already in the door, Richard Marx soon found himself backing major stars Madonna, Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross, and featured on the #1 hit for Lionel Richie, "All Night Long (All Night)". Soon after, Richard found success as a songwriter, providing hits for Kenny Rogers, and working with producer David Foster for some of Chicago's material. But that was enough of the background work. It was time for Richard Marx to step it up, and step up himself to the microphone. "Richard Marx", his debut album, couldn't fail with all the foundations he had layed for his own career. Scoring a Top Ten on his first single release here in Australia, the album would also gain Top Ten success, spending an impressive 41 weeks in our Top 100. Another rock inspired release from his second album, "Repeat Offender", would prove to be a long-lasting moderate hit, but it was the ballads that would put Richard at this position on the Top 1000 Artists from the last 30 years. In the closing stages of 1989, "Right Here Waiting" shot to #1, prompting the album to do the same, and soon, Richard Marx had that hit he had been working so hard all his life to create. Oh, and it wasn't just Richard giving Madonna some backing in her early years. Richard's father, the jingle writer, also provided the score of her 1991 film, A League Of Their Own. Small world, isn't it.

Richard Marx' Top 5

1	Hazard	1992	#1
2	Right Here Waiting	1989	#1
3	Endless Summer Nights	1988	#16
4	Satisfied	1989	#20
5	Should've Known Better	1988	#9

#129. GOOD CHARLOTTE (2001-05, 2007-08, #2 - 11 entries)

(#33 Biggest Band)

It was the Carol York children's book, "Good Charlotte: The Girls Of Good Day Orphange" that provided the original of popular 2000's pop/punk band, Good Charlotte. Featuring yet another set of musical twins, Joel and Benji Madden, the band formed in 1996, taking a good five years to finally release their debut self-titled album. "Good Charlotte" the album pretty much flopped everywhere around the world, except New Zealand, where it enjoyed a #12 peak. But that all changed with album #2, "The Young And The Hopeless", with half of the title proving untrue when three of the albums' singles hitting our Top 50, pushing the album itself into our Top 10. A couple of further albums would only prompt a higher level of success, with "The Chronicles Of Life And Death" and "Good Morning Revival" both making the Top 5 (#1 and #5 respectively). The latter also awarded the band with their first Top Ten hits. So with the success graph only showing and upward movement, we should expect big things from Good Charlotte as they embark on their fifth album release, "Cardiology" in just a few months time.

Good Charlotte's Top 5

1	Dance Floor Anthem	2007	#2
2	Keep Your Hands Off My Girl	2007	#5
3	I Just Wanna Live	2005	#12
4	The Anthem	2003	#14
5	Predictable	2004	#15

***************************************401,946**************************************

#128. COOLIO (1994-98, 2006, #1 - 9 entries)

(#40 Biggest Male Solo Artist)

Coolio set out on his "Fantastic Voyage" in 1994, scoring a minor placing in the charts here in Australia during that year. However, Coolio, born Artis Ivey, Jr., had already dabbled in the art years before, a career halted when he was tangled up in the world of drugs, becoming a cocaine dealer, and losing any support from record companies willing to sign him. After rehabilitation, Coolio set out to set his record straight, working in various odd jobs including a stint as a firefighter. Proving himself as a "straight" man, Coolio was soon (re)signed with "It Takes A Thief", Coolio's debut album, released in '94. It would be another year before things really started to heat up, as Coolio provided the theme song to the 1995 Michelle Pfeiffer film, Dangerous Minds. So unexpected was the success of "Gangsta's Paradise", that supplies ran out quickly in the stores prompting its impressive #5 debut to fall to #16. That was soon rectified, and "Gangsta" was #1 on its third week, as it began occupancy at the top for 13 weeks. One of the biggest singles of the 90's, it would forever be Coolio's signature song, but he did make a couple of further impressive chart invasions in following years. Coolio also made several television appearances includingThe Bill, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and The Nanny, where he played Ray Charles' (characters') grandson. Fans of the animated series, Futurama, would also be familiar with Coolio's voice as Kwanzaabot, with the makers impressed with Coolio's wide range of vocal skills.

Coolio's Top 5

1	Gangsta's Paradise (featuring L.V.)	1995	#1
2	1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)	1996	#12
3	C U When You Get There	1997	#7
4	Ooh La La	1997	#33
5	Fantastic Voyage	1994	#37

^ nice guess alley

love GC and coolio (mainly Gangsta's Paradise),not a fan of Richard Marx

only 3 today?, well good charlotte are awesome

I love Richard Marx. All his songs are great. Endless Summer Nights is a perfect song for driving. And if you have not heard Hazard, or not for a while, go to your bedroom, turn off the light and play it whilst lying in the dark with your eyes open. I know it sounds funny but it is a surreal experience as you listen to the words whilst you are seeing nothing with your eyes.

ps I am really not that wierd, try it!

lol trent, i do that with songs as well =)!

lol
I am glad i am not the only wierd one. My sis and I used to do it quite a bit. to this song especially.
I wonder if we could start a club or a support group, hehe

Only 3 today bsb...sorry.

Five artists is now taking me 2 hours per day...so I've had to lighten the load a little.

I would rather comprimise the quantity rather than quality, but don't worry, we WILL get to #1.

lol, ok christopher, MAKE IT MORE SUSPENSEFUL THEN
your doing a great job chris, i would honestly guess you may have the most exact top 1000 artists (for australia) on the net

Chris, maybe do 3 one day then 2 the next? Giving yourself a little break every 2nd day. Great work with the lists btw.

Richard Marx is great! LOVE Right Here Waiting, one of my faves of the 80's, love Hazard too, and #3 and #4 for him too, and Now & Forever.

Coolio isn't too bad, Gangsta's Paradise is the only one I like though really.

Love Good Charlotte, top 10 would be:
01 Dancefloor Anthem
02 Keep Your Hands Off My Girl
03 Misery
04 The Chronicles Of Life & Death
05 I Just Wanna Live
06 The Anthem
07 Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous
08 Girls & Boys
09 Hold On
10 Victims Of Love OR Predictable

Nah...all good. Three per day now for two weeks brings us up to Top 100...excited much???
