Glad to be back in this challenge after a few days. This time I'm already on letter E.

1. Enigma

Back in 1990s, musical projects are very common which one of them is Enigma. The musical project was from Germany, and with their music which is more of ambient and new age, their first two albums has collectively sold 20 million copies, and they had worldwide hits including "Sadeness Part 1". They released albums eventually but not as huge as their first releases.

2. Enema of the State

Back in 1999-2000 when Blink 182 has sold millions of copies off their album "Enema of the State". The album may have made the band accused of being selling out, and that they're not different from the boybands they spoofed, which might be true. However, the album brought their biggest hit "All the Small Things", and its music video is very memorable for spoofing boybands.

3. Enya

Enya is one of the biggest selling Irish artists of all time, as well as among new age artists. For sure 1980s and 1990s kid may be familiar of him but her biggest selling album was released in "A Day Without Rain" which featured the hit "Only Time". If you're not used to her music, you will fall asleep if you listened to her.

4. Eminem

Eminem is the biggest selling rapper of all time, and among the biggest selling artists of all time. His biggest selling records include "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "The Eminem Show", which both has estimated sales more than 20 million copies. He was also known for comedic music videos with spoofs back in early 2000s. It has changed starting from his album "Recovery".

5. Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran became a global superstar on his album "x" (Multiply) but his debut "+" (Plus) was also big seller. I remember back then when "Thinking Out Loud" became a big hit, and people thinks that's his first single. I've been a fan of him since "The A Team" and "Lego House". He just released his new album "=" (Equals), which followed the collaborative album "No.6 Collaborations Project".

6. Everyday is a Winding Road

Shery Crow released the song "Everyday" is a Winding Road" back in 1996 which followed "If It Makes You Happy" which is lighter than its preceding single. It became a number 11 hit in the US then, which isn't that a bad placement during that time.

7. End of the Road

Boyz II Men had hit singles particularly in the US including "Motownphilly" but their song "End of the Road" brought them to global stardom. The song went to number 1 in numerous countries worldwide, and helped their album "Cooleyhighharmony" sell more copies globally. It was followed by their hit album "II", which scored two Billboard number 1 hits.

8. Evanescence

Evanescence is notable with their hit "Bring Me to Life" which was part of the soundtrack of the film "Daredevil". I remember how the song became a hit and their album "Fallen" became one of the biggest selling albums on its era. "My Immortal" is a haunting ballad which had a rock version released eventually. They released their album "Open Door" which became their first number 1 album.

9. Everclear

This band reminds me of the 1990s. They became known during the decade, and their music was often played on MTV Alternative Nation. One of their known rock hits is "Santa Monica". No, that's not the same with the Savage Garden song.

10. Everything I Wanted

This is one of the hits of Billie Eilish. It even became a Grammy winning song this year. I prefer her earlier hits though. This song, of course, was written with her brother Finneas, and he's also featured on it music video.

What era are those other artists/ songs? Haha, I only knew Ed Sheeran. I'm a music lover but I never encountered those. 😆 I'll do my own research. I just hope they're not metallic rocks, I hate them 😁
