Maybe for monthly visitors but Becky Hill or Ellie Goulding will draw a larger crowd than Nelly Furtado. With Ellie Goulding you are practically guaranteed to know multiple songs which she has released.
The line up doesn't work for me but it will be strong for a lot of people. A shame as I was looking forward to victorious , but I will give it a miss now for 2025.
They're definitely less "Radio 1". But in terms of mass market appeal, Nelly Furtado has more monthly listeners than anyone else on the list. Mel C is the single most famous person on the list. I think both lists are different kinds of mainstream. I do take your point though.
