05 April 2010
Madonna has been revealed as the most played artist of the past decade in a show broadcast this afternoon on Radio 2.
The exclusive chart, The People’s Artists’ Chart, was presented by Patrick Keilty and revealed The Beatles and Robbie Williams at numbers two and three respectively.
The top ten most played artists featured performances ranging all the way through the fifties (Elvis Presley), the sixties (The Beatles), the seventies (Queen & Abba), the eighties (Elton John), the nineties (Robbie Williams & Take That) and the noughties (Madonna, Sugababes & Coldplay).
