R&B singer Rihanna has beaten off competition from stars like Madonna and Britney Spears after her track 'Umbrella' has been voted the best of the decade in a new survey.

The 21-year-old has admitted she's wracked with nerves as she prepares for a show in London next week which will be her first solo concert since the violent bust-up with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in February this year, Contactmusic reported.

But the pop star will be pleased to know that her British fans have picked her song and music video for 'Umbrella' as the best of the last 10 years, according to a survey by BT media.

Second on the list was 'All The Things She Said' by Russian duo t.A.T.u followed by Avril Lavigne's 'Sk8er Boi'.

Pop princess Spears was placed fourth for her hit single 'Everytime' while rock band Oasis bagged the fifth position for their track 'The Importance Of Being Earnest'.

British songwriter, actor Will Young was ranked sixth for 'Leave Right Now' followed by 'Hot and cold' by Katy Perry.

Troubled star Amy Winehouse raced ahead of Madonna as she bagged the eight position for her song 'Back To Black' while Material Girl's 'Hung up' ranked ninth. The tenth on the list was Kylie Minogue and her song 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'.
