Based on the number of articles written on a particular star, a list has been compiled of the most-talked-about stars of the decade.
British journalists wrote no less than 45 633 articles on Madonna, who always supplied them with plenty of subject matter such as her album releases, world tours, her recent divorce, and the adoption of her two African children.
One of the most famous British singers of all time took second place. In the past decade, Robbie Williams was the subject of 27 976 articles. The Angels singer’s romantic escapades certainly drew a lot of media attention.
Britney Spears took the third position. The American singer was featured in 27 910 articles in the last 10 years and managed to keep a good balance between successes and flops throughout the decade. Problems in her personal life, a few failed marriages, pregnancies and child custody battles, her partying and of course, who could forget, her shaved head, were all fodder for the media.
Star couple Victoria and David Beckham came in at fourth place. And last but not least, Kate Moss, one of the most famous runway models of the new millennia, closed out the top 5 in fifth place.
