QUOTE Pink named UK's most played female artist of the 21st century for National Album Day 11 October 2021 | By George Griffiths Pink has been named as the most played artist of the 21st century in the UK, in celebration of this year's National Album Day. In the list, accumulated by PPL, the US pop star beats off competition from Madonna, Katy Perry and Rihanna, who chart at Numbers 2, 3 and 4 respectively. In a career now spanning over two decades, Pink has earned three UK Number 1 singles and three Number 1 albums too.

Well done P!nk
I'm surprised no Britney, especially given how overplayed 'Toxic' is and continues to be. |

Fantastic to see Pink top this. Often overlooked but it seems her music stands the test of time. It is a bit weird to not see Britney in the list.

Not really surprising. Has anyone had such a consistent career over the past two decades?
I'm sure no one could've predicted it when Mizzundastood came out. |

People often criticise Pink for sticking to the same sound but it has really worked for her. Her songs are instantly recognisable and still hold up today.
