UKMIX Top 100 Emerging Acts: COMPLETE

by **matthew_dixon** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:07 pm

Taylor Swift has released some really rather good pop-country songs - particularly "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me". Never someone I'd actually buy an album of, but if she lasts for a career as good as her early stuff, I might be persuaded into a greatest hits when it's all over.

...but Taylor Swift missing the top 1 is absolutely CRIMINAL

She is easily my favorite artist in this "emerging acts" countdown.
I d say she doesn t only copy Shania Twain, she took the road and paved her own way without the hype machine behind her.

she s a hard working person as well and learns from her mistakes, i love her

+1 I'm completely lost at who could be #1 now :cry:

Not my thing, I find her too dull.

Taylor got some filler votes from me, just because of Love Story, but other than than I really don't like her.

Gaga for #1!

I like her a lot currently (Hunger Games), but not so much before to get in my 40.

T-Swift is amazing. I think I ranked her at #2. Her music is so relatable for hopelessly romantic teenagers and young adults and she's been a beacon of sunshine in the tainted world of Hollywood - an excellent role model. I haven't been feeling her recent stuff much but I'm sure she will rise once again to the occasion with this fourth LP.

Taylor is my favourite haha! Of course! Glad to see her at #8, and I know I voted for her, certainly! :lol:

Debut Album: Lungs (2009)
Breakthrough Single: "Kiss With A Fist" (2008)
Biggest Hit: "You've Got The Love" (#5 UK)

Welsh indie-rock-pop band Florence + The Machine come in at #7. The band consists of lead Florence Welsh and a rotating group of collaborating musicians. The BBC had a major role in breaking the group before their debut album "Lungs" in 2009. Seven singles charted from that album in the UK, led by "Kiss With a Fist". One top 10 single was among those hits, "You've Got The Love". Their second album "Ceremonials" was released last year, four singles already out, led by the #12 "Shake It Out". They are the highest "rock" act in this countdown.

Ughh

hate her so much!

by **matthew_dixon** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 7:31 am

Love her - especially "Kiss With A Fist" - fantastic track!

by **NothingFails** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 7:45 am

Florence is easily the best top 10 act thus far. She's bringing class to a pop world that usually loves disposable trash.

Great to see Florence this high up. I met her in front of my TV during a German talent show and she has been very very kind to Ivy.

by **CrazyCrazy** » Mon Apr 23, 2012 6:29 pm

She's growing on me very slowly. :wink:

23 Florence and The Machine

Based mainly on Ceremonials.

7. Florence + The Machine (399 points)

Only started liking her recently but deserved

by **JSparksFan** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 2:19 am

Florence + The Machine are fantastic. "No Light, No Light" is one of the more epic singles to be released within the last few months and Florence's voice is really something else. Her performance at the BRIT awards was truly outstanding.

Out of Glendale, AZ, a suburb of Phoenix, and the daughter of former defensive back Phillippi Sparks of the New York Giants, Jordin Sparks was the winner of American Idol 6. Her Idol winning single was "This Is My Now" and her debut album in 2007. Her single "No Air" is the highest selling Idol single in the show's history, with three million copies sold/ downloaded. Her lead single after the show was "Tattoo", a top 10 hit in the USA and Top 25 in the UK. "One Step At A Time" also went top 20 in both countries. Her second album "Battlefield" was released in 2009 and had the big worldwide hit "Battlefield" and follow-up "S.O.S." Her last song was a non-album single "I Am Woman" in 2011. A third album may be due anytime.

108 Rebecca Black 41 points

106 The Enemy 41 points

Great to see the Enemy mentioned - but too bad they missed the top 100

Jordin Sparks... well I love "Tattoo" but don't care for any of her others.

by **biscuits** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 10:11 am

Shardinay beats Rebecca Black by a massive 20 points! 8-)

by **CrazyCrazy** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 11:12 am

I like "Step By Step" from her but don't care for much else. Shame the fantastic Melody Gardot just misses out and it's so hilarious that she is beat by Rebecca Black!
