Madasun was a British female trio that found chart recognition in both the United Kingdom and Australia during the year 2000, achieving three singles within the top 30.

The ensemble included Vicky Barrett (born 12 February 1976 in Hertfordshire), Abby Norman (born 13 April 1977), and Vonda Barnes (born 20 January 1978, Hertfordshire). They obtained a demo contract with V2 Records and traveled to Sweden to record two tracks as part of a trial arrangement. Under the V2 Records label, Madasun released one album along with three singles. Their highest-charting track, "Don't You Worry," attained number 14 on the UK charts and climbed to number six in Australia, where it was certified platinum and placed twentieth on Australia's year-end singles chart for 2000. Despite this success, their album The Way It Is only reached number 153 on the UK Albums Chart. Due to underwhelming sales, the group was dropped by their label in January 2001, which subsequently led to their breakup.
