Madonna turns 60 this week (Thursday 16 August) and they don’t call her the Queen of Pop for nothing. Here’s 10 reasons why…  1.  She has had more UK number one albums than any other female artist The one with the longest chart life was her greatest hits collection Immaculate Collection, followed by Like A Virgin, Ray of Light and True Blue.   2.  And she's had more singles in the top five than any other female artist The most popular on Spotify being Like A Virgin.

The coveted statuettes took on a different shape this year, thanks to a quirky design by  Zaha Hadid – although they look like they'd been left out in the sun and melted to us! The late, undeniably great David Bowie took home two of the main prizes, which serves as a fitting tribute to a man who had such a tremendous effect on British pop music throughout his outstanding career. The show was as glitzy and glamorous as ever. But if you were hoping for some of the traditional mishaps that have made headlines in past events , then you won't have been disappointed. One particularly memorable incident occurred when a backing dancer, dressed as a house, fell off the stage during Katy Perry 's performance!
