Pink is UK's most-played female artist of 21st Century

[StrawberryBlond 14,898]

If it was all-time, I'd understand this list a bit more but the 21st century alone? What are names like Diana Ross and Whitney Houston doing there, years after they peaked? And I'm surprised Madonna's all the way at #2 considering that UK radio is notorious for stopping playing artists when they get "too old" and Madonna was 42+ throughout the 21st century. Surprised Ariana is so low, Christina is that high, really surprised that Gaga out-peaked Adele with her more out-there songs but most of all that Pink, who, once again, peaked a long time ago, got this accolade. I guess it all comes down to songs having the most kid-friendly lyrics and catchy beats so that any station can play them. But again, Pink's had her fair share of more adult content in her lyrics, though she has clean versions. Maybe it does explain why Pink's done consistently well with her singles in the UK for years as radio does give them lots of promo.
