Most talked about celebrity of the decade is…

Brits love Madge!

According to Telegraph.co.uk and TNS Media Intelligence, Madonna is the most talked about celebrity of the noughties in British print media. That means Material Girl has been mentioned most often in articles written over the last 10 years.

Marrying Guy Ritchie almost a decade her junior, adopting kids from Malawi, divorcing Guy Ritchie, dating a Brazilian model almost three decades her junior and constantly making crazy attention grabbing videos definitely deserves the first place in the study commissioned by online UK TV channel Liv.

According to Liv’s commissioning executive Alex Ayling, Madge reigns the top 10 most popular celebrities of the decade with impressive 45,633 mentions.

For the record, #2 Robbie Williams has gained 17,000 mentions less than Madonna ending up with 27,976 articles over the last ten years.

This is a fascinating insight into which celebrities have real showbiz staying power with the UK print press and have proved their popularity over the last decade. Madonna’s ability to be able to re-invent herself and her image has meant she has stayed at the top of her game throughout the noughties and we salute the queen of pop,” Ayling said.

Congrats Madonna! You know how to impress.
