Surprise entries came from The Killers with ‘Hot Fuss’ at 21, Kaiser Chiefs’ ‘Employment’ at 27 and Green Day with ‘American Idiot’ at 32. Shocking.

British Hit Singles and Albums editor David Roberts said: “Usually these polls are full of records that people have only just bought because they are freshest in the mind.

“But this poll shows that the truly great albums always have longevity.

“Only two albums in the Top 20 were released in the last five years, so the voters have clearly thought long and hard about their decision.

“We believe our readers are the most knowledgeable music fans in the country so for them to have decided that Definitely Maybe should be the Number One album is really something.”
