Leona #5 and #10
Duffy and Gabriella Cilmi :heart:

Duffy took a royal **** on Leona

wow at usher,#1 in protugal,i didn't know he had success there

actually Leona took a "royal ****" on Duffy.Mercy spent months at #1 in Portugal,Warwick Avenue & Stepping Stone flopped.the reason BL wasnt higher then Mercy was because radio moved on to Better In Time.Duffy is a one hit wonder in Portugal,Leona aint.

Rockferry outsold Spirit, though.

^^ Where, in Portugal?
If so, I could easily name countries where 'Spirit' outsold 'Rockferry'
But what would be the point in that? :-\

The UK and the USA?

LMAO. Alexz <3

I love both Rockferry and Spirit, they don't need to be compared.

Australia? Canada? Ireland? Germany? Italy? (the only ones I'm sure of )
and of course the ones that make the biggest difference in terms of sales, the UK and the USA

Duffy still sold more than Leona outside their homeland

^^ Incorrect

Rockferry has sold 4.6 million WW
Spirit has sold 6.0 million WW

Rockferry 1.7 million UK
Spirit 2.7 million UK

Therefore:
Rockferry has sold 2.9 million WW (excluding UK)
Spirit has sold 3.3 million WW (excluding UK)

Duffy is still better a Brit and Grammy nominee

^^ I respect your opinion
Duffy is indeed a great Brit/Grammy nominee

Yeah and she took a **** on Leona in Portugal

As did Leona take a massive **** on her in the US and the UK, two of the biggest music markets

This is a Portugal thread

LOL to all the conversation towards Leona and Duffy! you guys are funny!

meanwhile:
I have to say I'm really surprised too!!

Leona , Coldplay

What a boring and out dated list.
