    Queen's 'We Are The Champions' Voted World's Favourite Song

    JackoQueen’s ‘We Are The Champions’ has been voted the world’s greatest song in a massive poll conducted by Sony Ericsson.

    A whopping 700,000 people were asked for their favourite tune in 66 different countries leading to a fairly surprising top ten.

    Elsewhere in the top ten are Britney Spears with ‘Toxic’ at two, Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’ in second place, and The Eagles’ ‘Hotel California’ in fourth.

    The results from the votes just in Britain threw up different results with Robbie Williams’ ‘Angels’ cracking into the top ten.

    Amazingly Jacko had a stronghold on the UK top ten with a massive seven of the ten entries. Who fixes these results?
