Thanks to the internet and message board's like this, music fan's are much more aware of music acts from other countries... even when they haven't been released in many other countries. I thought it would be a good idea to first post a top ten of acts from where you are from, and then another for acts from other countries. Here's my top ten's...

United Kingdom 10: Nikola Rachelle Girls Aloud Sara Jorge Nerina Pallot Basement Jaxx Sugababes Natasha Bedingfield Phixx Lily Allen Rachel Stevens
Everywhere Else 10: Destiny's Child (United States) Kylie Minogue (Australia) Rosette (Canada) Marie Serneholt (Sweden) Christina Aguilera (United States) Shawn Desman (Canada) Mariah Carey (United States) Elize (The Netherlands) Black Eyed Peas (United States) Dannii Minogue (Australia)Okay, now it's your's turn!!!

Oooh, I just noticed that both of my top 10's have one set of siblings in them... Nikola & Natasha for the UK and Kylie & Dannii for elsewhere!

weird countdown.. how to vote?

Wait, what are you trying to say? Do we post the top 10s from our area that are based on our personal charts or on billboard/stuff like that? Sorry, i'm confusedYou can base it on whatever you want, however they make themselves your favourite artists. It's not a question of who you think is most successful in general, but who is most successful in making you like them. It doesn't matter if you base it on sales, vocal and performance ability or just their look... for me it's mostly the vocal and performance bit.
