The UK's Most Popular Artists
I love that Kate Bush and Tina Turner are in the top 5. Talent wins out. I thought Rihanna would have been ahead of Taylor Swift. It's shocking that Prince is only at 20.
Female 1. Adele 2. Kate Bush 3. Whitney Houston 4. Tina Turner 5. Beyonce 6. Kylie Minogue 7. Taylor Swift 8. Madonna 9. Rihanna 10. Lady Gaga Male 1. David Bowie 2. Elvis Presley 3. Ed Sheeran 4. Michael Jackson 5. Bruce Springsteen 6. Michael Buble 7. Sir Elton John 8. Rod Stewart 9. Bob Dylan 10. Frank Sinatra Full lists available here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...ises-list.html |

For some reason, that link takes me to a DM article from 2006 about Chris Tarrants marriage break up
Though that list probably proves what I already knew in that my musical tastes is far away from the average UK music listener. Out of those 2 lists, I can't see one name of a artist I like |

Because I'm afraid to have to report that #7, Sir Elton, is a hell of a lot less cool but he's actually sold a lot more records than Dave.

![]() It actually struck me that I radically prefer the male artists on there to the female ones (with the exception of Sheeran and Buble - who are horribly dull). Most of the other fellas on there I'd have to concede have got pretty impressive back catalogues, whether I love them or not. |

Was it based on record sales, a survey, radio plays? |
