That leaves the Top 5. You know who they are. Do you know the order they'll be in? Take a guess, won't you? Who will be #1?!

Gosh! So relieved Bryan made the Top 10 and got best male! (Should be 5 notches higher; but that's a totally different story)
Well done, Bryan! :)

Good to see The Weeknd at #7. Certainly a breath of fresh air in pop music of recent years Very sad to see Bryan miss the top 5  he's got far too many good songs IMO. Maybe too old for average Pulsers, but he's a legend :) Multiple number ones in my personal chart include Heaven, Summer of 69, Everything I Do, Please forgive me, All for love, Have you ever really loved a woman, I finally found someone, Back to you, When I'm gone. Plus lots of classic top 5ers like It's only love, Can't stop this thing we started, One night love affair, Run to you, Somebody, Cuts like a knife, Don't give up. FYI, Bryan released Get Up in October 2015 with some strong original material and toured right afterwards, so he made an important comeback of sorts. |

Avril Lavigne the second best-selling Canadian female artist of all time with 40 million albums and 50 million singles sold.
Avril’s Girlfriend was the first song to reach 100 million views on YouTube.
She was the first western artist to do a tour of China.
When Let Go hit #1 in the UK, it made Avril the youngest woman to hit the top of the chart.
Avril used to sing songs by Shania Twain, the Dixie Chicks and Garth Brooks at country fairs growing up and in 1999, through a radio contest, she won the chance to perform What Made You Say That with Shania during her Ottawa stop.
L.A. Reid was so impressed with Avril that after 15 minutes, he signed her to a 2-album deal worth $1.25 million plus a $900K publishing advance.
After writing with Chantal Kreviazuk for Under My Skin, Chantal accused Avril of plagiarism for a song on Avril’s then-unreleased third album over a song title that Chantal assumed Avril had taken during their writing sessions. Avril has threatened to take legal action against Chantal over things she has said about her.
Avril has been married to both Deryck Whibley of Sum41 and Chad Kroeger of Nickelback.
Avril has her VERY OWN Pulse rankdown currently in progress: pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/166782/avril-lavigne-rankdown-revealing

Avril is the definition of overrated...too bad she can't swap places w/ Sarah M, because having her in the top 10 is embarrassing
I'm on Team Chantal when it comes to the lawsuits
