Kylie tops Wembley Arena list ahead of Madonna

Kylie has overtaken Madonna as the most popular female artist to play Wembley Arena, and was named the biggest gay icon in a Onepoll survey.

Kylie has overtaken Madonna in the 'most popular female artists to ever play Wembley Arena' list which is based on ticket sales achieved by artists during the venue's 72 year history. She has also been presented with an award by the Wembley Arena team for selling out her previously reported seven new year shows at the venue. General manager Peter Tudor said: "We wanted to recognise Kylie's spectacular return to Wembley. Kylie, her team and 79,000 fans have given us a phenomenal start to the New Year".

The singer has also unveiled a plaque of her handprints to be displayed at Wembley's Square Of Fame on which she said: "It was an honour to be asked to leave my handprints on Wembley's Square of Fame and it was a thrill to see the final result in bronze!"

Elsewhere in Kylie news, the singer is the biggest gay icon ever, according to a new poll. She beat the likes of Dolly Parton, Abba, Judy Garland, and, er, Jordan & Peter Andre to take first place in the survey conducted by Onepoll. Madonna only made it to number 7.
