Posted June 10, 201015 yr Got you all in here didn't it? :P Anyway... Most played song of 2009 revealed Posted Wed 9 Jun 2010 14:42 BST by Music Editor in Behind The Music Lily Allen's single 'The Fear' has been named as 2009's most-played song on radio and in bars according to the music licensing company PPL. It can only come as good news to the retired singer, who won three trophies at the highly respected Ivor Novello awards last month, as well as winning her first Brit Award earlier in the year. PPL revealed the news in its People's Pop Chart, which lists the 20 most-played artists in the UK, derived from airplay and public performance. Elsewhere, Lady Gaga claimed fifth and sixth place with ‘Poker Face' and ‘Just Dance', whilst Pink and Take That also had two tracks in the top 20. The full list is as follows: 1 Lily Allen - The Fear 2 James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings 3 The Killers - Human 4 Beyonce - Halo 5 Lady Gaga - Poker Face 6 Lady Gaga - Just Dance 7 Daniel Merriweather - Red 8 Kings of Leon - Use Somebody 9 Pink - Please Don't Leave Me 10 Pixie Lott - Mama Do 11 Taylor Swift - Love Story 12 Katy Perry - Hot N Cold 13 Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You 14 Pink - Sober 15 The Pussycat Dolls - Jai Ho! 16 Enrique Iglesias - Takin' Back My Love 17 Ciara featuring Justin Timberlake - Love Sex Magic 18 Alesha Dixon - Breathe Slow 19 Take That - Greatest Day 20 Take That - Up All Night LOL. Ciara. Seriously? (AND TWICE!) WOW! :lol:
June 10, 201015 yr So agree with this, for me... 1 Lily Allen - The Fear 2 James Morrison featuring Nelly Furtado - Broken Strings 3 The Killers - Human 4 Beyonce - Halo 7 Daniel Merriweather - Red 8 Kings of Leon - Use Somebody 16 Enrique Iglesias - Takin' Back My Love 17 Ciara featuring Justin Timberlake - Love Sex Magic 18 Alesha Dixon - Breathe Slow have been inescapable!
June 10, 201015 yr I don't know exactly how it was calculated, but I'm guessing that this favours songs released in late 2008 and early 2009, as songs released late in 2009 (e.g. Bad Romance, Meet Me Halfway) wouldn't have had the time to accumulate the airplays to catch up with songs from early in the year (e.g The Fear, Just Dance). But I'm shocked by Mama Do, in that respect, as that was released about the same time as Boom Boom Pow. I suppose it would've had a bit of airplay before the release though.
June 10, 201015 yr Wow, amazing for The Fear. Well deserved. I'm shocked at Daniel Merriweather and P!nk, I didn't know Please Don't Leave Me was so popular
June 10, 201015 yr Funny that two of the top 3 both come from songs that were originally released in 2008! :lol:
June 11, 201015 yr I actually like all of the songs in that list...but i am surprised that gaga didnt clinch the most played hit with one of her tracks
June 11, 201015 yr Commercial radio are always a year late. Just watch the big hits of late 2009 smash on this year's list...
