Don't count out Alexandra though she hasn't launched world wide yet.

James Blunt number 1? *loses the will to live* Most of that list is very crap.

Scissor Sisters is a surprise but I'm glad for them, their debut album is fantastic. Yay for Amy also.

and to answer your question, I reckon Cheryl could easily sell that but the others no chance.

Erm well Leona is the only winner to go properly worldwide, so makes sense. MOre notable is the fact that Susan Boyle is #56 despite the fact its been out for 5 weeks.

This list is for the UK only so the fact that Leona has released worldwide doesn't really come into it.

Not feeling the list. Leona is far too overrated. And Blunt?

Yeah I was about to mention this, the list would be completely different if it was worldwide.

Credit to Dido! I wonder if any of them will end up in next decade's top 10? I'm doubtful ...
