- In September 2008, Stacy Hart entered at #36 on downloads with "Starcrossed" and climbed 25 positions to #11 the week after. Later that month, It's Not Over Until The Fat Lady Sings entered at #38 on downloads only with their cover of Putanovska's "Bitch In Heat", also climbing 25 positions to #13 the week after.
- Sophie Ramone somewhat surprisingly could only limp in at #38 with her single "The Gardener", featuring Kelly, in February 2005. However, after being severely overlooked in its first week, the sales picked up the following week, and the single climbed no less than 24 places to a new peak at #14!

Most charting members of one family[edit | edit source]
- The Wolfe siblings are the most successful family on Urapopstar, with record-breaker Syd Wolfe having a whopping five diamond-certified singles to her name. Brothers Taylor and Justyce also have numerous #1 singles and albums under their belt.
- The Elite family has spawned three chart-topping acts. Candi and her brother Chase Elite have both earned themselves #1 singles, as has their brother Jamie as a member of boyband Difused. The family's pet dog Babycakes has also released several singles.
- The Simmonds family have also spawned three chart-topping acts. Ryan Simmonds is of course the biggest, but his wife Jessika Berqvist-Simmonds (from Gasp) has also been #1, and later his long lost sister Charlie Simmonds hit the top with "Burning Up".
- Violetta DiNozzo and Victor Strong of Phoenix Rising have each charted solo #1 hits; while bearing different surnames, they are in fact half-siblings due to sharing a mother. In a somewhat different case Alexei Monaghan has charted in the top 10 with Phoenix Rising while his brothers Sylar and Raphael charted in the top 10 as part of Schizophonic. Alexei was part of both groups however.
- Edna Albaquerque's side project Project Albaquerque contained at one point her brother, mother and two of her daughters, totalling 5 members of her family. Her alleged daughters Dakota Rain and Just Ginger have also had several top 10 hits. Dakota's daughter Bronagh has had success with Gingers+Jesus. The Albaquerque clan therefore has spawned 8 musicians.
- Lucreacia and younger sister Nikki have 20 #1s between them.
- Other famous siblings: Nick Edwards and Mark Edwards; Esmeralda Dimuzio and Olivia Dimuzio; Natasha Hilton and Grace Hilton; sisters Ami Yuki and Tika Yuki; Emma Brown and Nate Brown; London and Cindy Star
- Sophie Ramone and Ben Parker are half-siblings.
- Alesha's stepsister is Phoebe of rock band Innocent. Alesha has also been married to Ben Parker and Neyssa, whose biological daughter Robin also scored hits.
- Putanovska's younger sibling, post-op transsexual Bichastasia earned a top ten in 2010. Putanovska has also been married to Chris Jones and Ryan Dawson.
- Dustin Hadley is the son of Audiodrama member Chace Hadley.
- Antony Jones, Chris Jones, James Jones, Matt Jones, Damien Jones, Alicia Jones and Anna Jones have all had top ten hits - but sadly they aren't related! Calvin Jones, however, is Anna's brother.
Most solo careers from one band[edit | edit source]
- First place goes to Phoenix Rising; all five members have charted as solo acts. Four have achieved both a #1 single and #1 album as lead artists, only Alexei Monaghan has yet to release any material as a lead artist (not counting his brief stint as a teen solo act, as this was not a URAPS release).
- London, Lianna, Lola Elle, and Cindy Star of Venom have all charted as solo artists.
- All three members of Gasp (Jessika, Kelli and Ciara) have had top ten hits by themselves. Between them, they have amassed 26 top 40 hits.
