Now head below the break for the answers as well as a solver's comment!

The outermost posts spell out the clue HER FIRST TOP TEN HIT WAS "BORDERLINE", and the answer to that is MADONNA

The clue for SARAH contains the seed word LILITH, suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley

Solver Perry Groot said that this was a "Nice format, might lend itself well for some logic-hybrid with Slitherlink for example."
