The song Umbrella by Rihanna was just picked as best song of the decade in a survey conducted among several British Telecom customers in England.

This news will undoubtedly come much to the star’s delight, as she makes her comeback to the music scene with her new album Rated-R, following her highly-publicized assault incident.

Umbrella and the video for the song, recorded in 2007, surpassed artists on the survey such as Avril Lavigne, Madonna, Oasis, Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue and the surprising second-place holders, t.A.T.u., who are practically unknown in North America.

Rihanna, who was only 11 when the decade began, got a helping hand from Jay-Z as a featured collaborator and producer of the song. The rapper seems to have the Midas touch, and his influence on Umbrella makes no exception.

Here are the 10 best songs of the decade according to votes taken by British Telecom:

1. Rihanna avec Jay-Z – Umbrella
2. t.A.T.u – All The Things She Said
3. Avril Lavigne – Sk8r Boi
4. Britney Spears – Everytime
5. Oasis – The Importance Of Being Earnest
6. Will Young – Leave Right Now
7. Katy Perry – Hot N Cold
8. Amy Winehouse – Back To Black
9. Madonna – Hung Up
10. Kylie Minogue – Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
