Popular music of the United Kingdom in the 2000s continued to expand and develop new sub-genres and fusions. While talent show contestants were one of the major forces in pop music, British soul maintained and even extended its high profile with figures like Joss Stone and Amy Winehouse, while a new group of singer/songwriters led by Adele achieved international success. New forms of dance music emerged, including grime and dubstep. There was also a revival of garage rock and post punk, which when mixed with electronic music produced new rave. Post-Britpop bands such as The Verve, Radiohead, Catatonia and Travis were followed in the 2000s by acts including Snow Patrol, from Northern Ireland and Elbow, Embrace, Starsailor, Doves and Keane from England, with music that was often more melodic and introspective. The most commercially successful band in the milieu were Coldplay, whose dbut album Parachutes went multi-platinum and helped make them one of the most popular acts in the world by the time of their second album A Rush of Blood to the Head . Like many American alternative rock bands several British indie bands emerged, including Franz Ferdinand, The Libertines and Bloc Party, that drew primary inspiration from New Wave and Post-punk groups such as Joy Division, Wire, and Gang of Four, establishing the post-punk revival movement Other prominent independent rock bands in the 2000s included: Editors, The Fratellis, Placebo, Lostprophets, Razorlight, Kaiser Chiefs, The Kooks and Arctic Monkeys. In 2007 Joss Stone's third album Introducing Joss Stone debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 becoming the first British solo female artist to have an album dbut that high on the chart. In 2006 and early 2007 British and Irish acts James Blunt, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Lady Sovereign, KT Tunstall, Snow Patrol and Corinne Bailey Rae also had U.S. chart success. By March 2007 these successes had led to speculation that either another British Invasion was underway or that there was a return to normalcy. In 2008 Leona Lewis's single Bleeding Love would become the first number one single on U.S charts by a British female artist since 1986. Her album, Spirit, also reached number 1, as Lewis became the first UK solo artist to debut at number one in the US with a debut album. The year would also be a successful one for Duffy, Adele, Estelle, and M.I.A.. Led by Coldplay, British acts received a total of 16 Grammy Awards in 2008. In 2009, Jay Sean topped the Billboard Hot 100, followed by Taio Cruz in 2010. Based on having the largest airplay and sales in the US, Muse were named the Billboard Alternative and Rock artist for 2010. By the time 2011 ended Adele had broken various records on the Billboard charts. Tinie Tempah became the first British hip hop artist to have a debut US single that sold at least one million units and two singles from the record have entered the Billboard Hot 100. Singer Jessie J's second single sold a million units and Florence and The Machine has done well enough to be the topic of a Billboard Magazine cover story in September. On 22 March 2012, One Direction became the first UK group to debut at number one with a debut album in the US, when their album Up All Night went straight in at number 1 on the Billboard 200.
