Shoved into second and third places were 'Hey Jude' and 'Let It Be', which of course involved Lennon in some way, too.
The top ten goes like this:
1: John Lennon 'Imagine' 2: The Beatles 'Hey Jude' 3: The Beatles 'Let It Be' 4: U2 'One' 5: Robbie Williams 'Angels' 6: Queen 'Bohemian Rhapsody' 7: Led Zeppelin 'Stairway To Heaven' 8: The Police 'Every Breath You Take' 9: The Eagles 'Hotel California' 10: James fucking cunting Blunt 'You're Beautiful'
Y'see, I was always of the thinking that 'Stairway...' was never released as a single. But, I suppose I'm wrong, just like all the Virgin Radio listeners that somehow voted for Blunt to be way up there. Anyway, overall The Beatles appear 33 times (there's a list of 500 in all), The Rolling Stones 17 times, U2 15 times and Queen 14 times. Bravo.
