Mediacorp's annual Star Awards is happening on Apr. 24, 2022.

This year's edition will take place at The Theatre at Mediacorp.

And with that, comes a new list of the Top 40 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes, for 20 nominations per category.

Top 40 artistes in 2022

According to Mediacorp, the Top 40 were identified via a poll of 1,000 people representing an equal breakdown across the various age groups of Singapore's population.

The survey was conducted by an accredited market research company.

Here are the female celebs who made it:
