And in case anyone feels the urge to dispute her title, they just need to refer to the newest Guinness Book Of World Records.

Madge is officially the top earning female singer, having made - you may want to sit down here - a whopping £26.6m in 2004 alone.

She knocked Britney Spears, who previously held the record, off the top spot, which was actually quite a feat as Britters had been there since 2001.

But her top earnings figure was a paltry £20.5m.

Poor love.

Anyway, Madge joins many other zillionaire celebs in the 2007 Guinness list, including James Blunt.

James BluntJames BluntJames holds the record for most albums sold in a year in the UK for Back To Bedlam, with an impressive 2,368,000.

Simon Cowell also makes the rich list, being the highest paid TV talent show judge. He's earnt a rather lovely £18m for The X Factor. Good work if you can get it.

Arctic Monkeys had the fastest selling UK debut album of all time. Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not sold over 363,000 copies in its first week.
