HRB has today revealed the most requested artist of the decade after a week long countdown of the top 150.
The countdown started last Sunday and has continued throughout the week, concluding today with a 7 hour show that counted down the final 100. The show was presented by Neil Ogden along with David Blower, Steve Fox and Sarah Beattie.

And at just before 6pm, the number one was revealed as… Queen.
The chart was compiled from requests collected since 1 January 2010 up to Christmas Day 2013, and shows just how diverse the music that gets requested is, with nursery rhymes for the children's ward alongside classical choices.
