Madonna named singer of the decade in Britain

Madonna has topped the chart of the most played artists in the 21st century in Britain. The list is based on the special research by PPL agency, which compiled data from radio stations and TV channels. It also incorporated public performances in pubs, clubs, restaurants and other venues.

Madonna has beaten The Beatles, who became second, and Robbie Williams, who has got the third place. Authors of the research point that the chart features artists of different genres, from pop music (ABBA) to rock (Coldplay).

Recently Madonna revealed that she feels nervous about her new album MDNA. Singer claimed that she has put "heart and soul" into the record and now she hopes that it will receive good marks both from critics and from fans.

"I don't think presenting any of my work is less nerve-racking than it ever was because I put my heart and soul into something. Whether it's on a film or my record, it's something to work on in privacy and create in a kind of bubble and then put it out in the world. You never know how people are going to receive it, whether it's going to move them or inspire them. The world is so full of entertainment now, isn't it? So there are a lot of nerves", claimed she.
