According to new facts and figures from the book of British Hit Singles & Albums, Sugababes have had more hit singles than any other exclusively female act this century. Which doesn't surprise me, because I'm listening to their singles collection 'Overloaded' (out 13 Nov) and it's jolly good. Anyway, they head the top ten list, beating the likes of Britney Spears and Madonna with their 16 hit singles.
British Hit Singles & Albums editor David Roberts says: "Britain has a tradition of creating great girl groups. Bananarama dominated the eighties, the Spice Girls were huge in the nineties, but the noughties belong to the Sugababes."
Here's that top ten list (when they have the same amount, whoever has the most number one's goes first):
1. Sugababes (16 hits)
2. Britney Spears (14 hits)
3. Pink (14 hits)
4. Anastasia (13 hits)
5. Madonna (12 hits)
6. Kylie Minogue (12 hits)
7. Girls Aloud (12 hits)
8. Missy Elliott (12 hits)
9. Atomic Kitten (11 hits)
10. Christina Aguilera (10 hits)
