There was a whole period of time when I would randomly annoy @ComeOnGloria by singing "Y un pa acá y un pa allá, y un salir y un entrar!" at the top of my voice at unexpected moments.

I've never listened to the rest of the album, though. (Their Eurovision entry "Un Blodymary" didn't exactly encourage me to delve further into their discography.) I take it's worth a listen, then?

Hm. How I miss you, @londonrain!

Well, so much for my early night... finally got through all the songs but can't decide on who gets my top score! I'm Torn!

Talking about Bardot - SPOTIFY won't let me play Poison from that playlist. And I am based in Melbourne Australia! The indignity!!!

Look at that data.

Although could someone please add the Platinum × 1 to the Australia section because the over-representation of Little Mix and under-representation of Sugababes is unsettling.

YES! Our dear country lacks taste in many ways (no shade to Little Mix but Sugababes should be up there)...

Certainly in the choice of Little Mix singles.

Wings and Change Your Life are the only multiplatinum Little Mix singles? Really?

(Also, Icona Pop having far and away the best-selling girl group single is... a choice.)

Not sure Wings surprises me or not since we did also get a charting Delta Goodrem version...

In general yes, even In The Middle by Sugababes should be above the Little Mix entries...
