base talk Do you miss these UK hitmakers?

[Gui Blackout]

In general the UK music scene just disappeared. Like where are the cool indie bands, where are the alt pop girls, where are the great dance acts. Now it's either grime rappers or boring balladers

[Delirious]

Yes all of them are amazing I miss pop girlie music in general

Well we do have wolf alice, and tonnes of newer bands like bleach lab

 

We also have pop girlies like Mabel, Mia Webb (her music is so bad tho) and raye etc

Let's not forget the incredibly underrated Ms. Diana Vickers, who was giving Carly Rae-realness before Emotion had even been thought of:

Adele, Dua and Little Mix (rip) the only ones serving consistency!

Girl groups always seem to last longer than soloists tbh. Girls Aloud and the Sugababes both had at least 5 eras. I wonder if it's something to do with groups having an inbuilt "brand" from the get go, which is something soloists have to establish over time.

 

It's also funny because Little Mix were going the same way as some other women in the industry after Salute and almost got dropped. Black Magic really saved their careers.

We can’t forget about mother Alexandra Burke. She delivered Pop excellence 

 

 

 

[Mr. Duff]

Natasha Bedingfield >>>>

I also remember Joss Stone and Lily Allen, they had great music.

[burninredhot]

To me these girls are WhoK hitmakers so no

I mean Geri Halliwell had classic after classic, too bad that after her 3rd album flopped she completely stopped putting out music:

they've only been able to survive in the UK. if you look at US or Korea it's a total mess. but in regards to the ones that lasted- i think having each other means there's more pressure to conform and do the right thing, keep the ball rolling. it could also mean more members = more fans, as different looks and personalities will appeal to different people. in the early days i only liked LM for Perrie.

This is so xtina coded  

[Achilles.]

Natalia Kills dropped two of the best pop albums of the 2010s and bounced. 
 

 

Love Leona, though. She’s one of my top Christmas artists, so I always get a bit of her at the end of every year.

[orange22]

UK is kind of ruthless  

 

Americans love our flops 

[Mystic Boy]

No

 

[Virgos Groove]

 

Bring back REAL music

[LesFleur]

Leona deserved so much more. Her third and fourth (non-Xmas) albums are so underrated.

 

@DuffLavigne let's also remember

 

Alexandra Burke

Her debut Overcome era served 3 #1s, 5 consecutive top 10 hits and 6 top 20 entries. Then her second album flopped even though "Elephant" hit #3

 

Jamelia (she doesn't even have an official YT or VEVO account )
