to celebrate international women’s day, we reveal the uk’s official top 40 biggest singles by female artists of all time. Which lady do you reckon will claim the crown?

Rounding off our very famous top 5 are two ladies with voices as big as their sales. Celine dion sails into fourth place with the theme from the big movie of 1998, titanic. My heart will go on has shifted 1.43 million copies (it’s about 3,000 copies behind britney). Vocal powerhouse adele is fifth, and the highest placed british female on our list, with someone like you.

Wondering why rihanna's million-seller love the way you lie isn’t included in the top 40? Well, it's because it’s an eminem track ft rihanna – our top 40 celebrates hits which feature females as the lead artist.

Oh baby, baby, you knew Britney had to be in here somewhere, right? And here she is up in third. Her debut single …Baby One More Time spent only two weeks at Number 1 in 1999, but it sure shifted plenty of copies while it was there. Its sales tally stands at over 1.53 million – it sold over 460,000 copies in its first week on sale.

[NX127]

Rihanna 3 times

[fabbriche]

Celine is the only one with 2 entries in the top 10.

Legendary, the fact she didn't need iTunes to sell that much just makes it even more impressive.
