Music licensing company PPL has today announced that P!NK is the most played female artist of the 21st Century in the UK.

You’d be forgiven for thinking the art of the long player has been somewhat lost of late, as painstakingly curated playlists replace albums and the technical constraints that dictated the format in the first place have, one by one, fallen away. But we’re not here to mourn, tremendous albums continue to be made and we’re celebrating by running down – in no particular order – what we believe to be the ten finest records made by Legacy artists.
