Was surprised this didn't make the list:



But then I realized they were "American" and not "UK Singles."

In all seriousness, why do you think Jessie J still hasn't taken off in the states?

Price Tag cracked the Top 40 and Domino cracked the Top 5 over here, so I'd say she already has.

Surprised that Pink's annoying try song is not there.

Or is that just noise polluting the Australian airwaves?

They did that well? I mean, they've been pumping money into the Jessie J machine stateside for about three or four years now. What do you think finally made these songs click?

I do like when she was playing the commercial breaks at the 2011 VMAs and, after Chris Brown's performance, she covered "No Scrubs."

I sort of know one of Rizzle Kicks, so good for them. I hope they don't just split after one album like I'm sort of expecting.
