There is more than one artist with this name:
1) 권보아 (BoA Kwon) is a singer/dancer with a slight R&B edge to her music. Originally from South Korea, BoA was discovered at the age of 11 as part of a nationwide talent search. She followed her 2nd oldest brother to an SM Entertainment office where he was auditioning to become a singer. Unfortunately for her brother, BoA was discovered instead. While securing great popularity in Korea, she has also managed great success in the Japanese music industry. In 2001, at the tender age of 13, she released her début single “ID; Peace B” to the Japanese market. Her début single demonstrated surprising talent for someone so young. Her success has been partly due to her abilities to quickly learn the Japanese and English languages. This is also the reason for some of her songs having a large number of alternate versions (various language and remix combinations). BoA has released a number of albums in both Korea and Japan, remaining popular with a mixture of infectious upbeat melodies and sweeping ballads. She is currently promoting in Japan with her latest album, “The Face” that later reached #1 on the Oricon Charts. BoA is also planning to début in the US in mid-2008.
2) Boa was a ’70s Rock band who released the album Wrong Road in 1971 and re-released in 1998 on 180 gram vinyl lp. BOA recorded Wrong Road on a Sony TC-200 in a Tupperware warehouse.

I wanna see BAD DRIVE - I hear it was one of the best performances of the tour. It's probably my favorite post MI20 song from her.

harrypxtina, obviously not "all" of their fans have agreed to use the accent mark, since there are hundreds of plays each month still using "boa" without it. Last.fm needs a moderation scheme to split artists with the same name based on the track names.

All of their fans have agreed to call their music as her work? What can I say?

Such a mess. DUVET it's not her song, and Twilight is not her CD. It's british band with a similar name - Boa.
