Express plugs the most popular acts? (12)
I believe the answer is:
showstoppers
'most popular acts?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'express plugs' is the wordplay.
'express' becomes 'show' (synonyms).
'plugs' becomes 'stoppers' ('stopper' can be a synonym of 'plug').
'show'+'stoppers'='SHOWSTOPPERS'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
