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:

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!

 

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.

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
Glad its The Fear and not some god-awful $h!te that it could have been.
Damn these PCD taking credit for Jai Ho <_<
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
Commercial radio are always a year late. Just watch the big hits of late 2009 smash on this year's list...
