2NE1 Tops "Numbered" Artists Survey

Survey 101: Top Artists Whose Names Have Numerals
Survey Period: May 22 – June 26, 2009
Survey scope: Online at Chart Central (Philippines), with mostly Filipino respondents

An online survey was conducted asking the question:
“Among the artists in music whose names have numerals, which do you like best?”

Here are the top fifteen answers:

12NE1

Sandara “Dara” Park, CL, Bom and Minzy got the Fire, that's why they're certified h.o.t. on top!
2U2

The rock band from Dublin, Ireland formed in 1972 is still on an Elevation today.
3Blink-182

The Rock Show is not over for Tom, Mark and Travis as they come back after a 4-year hiatus.
4Boyz II Men

It's not yet the End of the Road for the most successful R&B male vocal group of all-time.
5Gloc-9

Simpleng Tao lang si Aristotle Pollisco but he is the top rap and top Filipino artist on the list.
6311

Eleven years after a Beautiful Disaster, they are still here saying It's Alright.
7S Club 7

14
3 Doors Down

This Mississippi rock band used Kryptonite to rise to success, something Superman can't do.
15
98 Degrees

The Invisible Man may not have reached the boiling point but 98 Degrees is definitely still hot!

It is interesting to note that if this question was asked a few years back, among the top answers would have been most probably F4 and A1. We also specially mention these artists who almost made it to the list:
  • 3rd Eye Blind
  • Maroon 5
  • Moonstar88
  • M2M
  • OneRepublic
  • Sum 41
  • UB40
