Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes

1. Ya Hui

The 38-year-old may have left Mediacorp, but she's still slaying on her own. "A lot of people ask me if I'm not acting anymore. That's not the case. In fact, I continue to be super, super passionate about acting. I still feel that acting is my calling."

4. Chantalle Ng

The Emerald Hill star was all smiles as she received her fourth Top 10 award. "Ever since I've entered the industry, I've been given the opportunity to play all sorts of roles — I've been a Vietnamese bride, a visually impaired character and even the vile Zhang An Na. But just when I thought things couldn't get more exciting, I still managed to be the host of today's Star Awards!"

5. Carrie Wong

Carrie, picking up her final Top 10 before joining the All-Time Favourite club next year, kept it real: “Since it’s my last year, I’m thanking myself for all the hard work. I hope to keep growing and be the best version of myself.”

The Love 972 DJ summed it up simply: “Grateful. Appreciative. Thankful.”

7. Gao Meigui

Gao Meigui was almost in tears when she hugged Chow Yun Fat while receiving her first-ever Top 10 award. But she quickly pulled herself together and started thanking everyone — from her DJ partners to her bosses — declaring that broadcasting is a “great job.” She wrapped up by thanking her family and friends, and even broke into song on stage. Cute!
