Robbie Williams Is More Popular Karaoke Choice Than Amy Winehouse
Share

Robbie Williams' 'Angels' is the most popular karaoke song, according to a new study.

The 1997 track came ahead of Amy Winehouse's cover of The Zuton's 'Valerie' and Abba's 'Dancing Queen', which were second and third respectively.

The rest of the top five was completed by Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' and 'Kingston Town' by UB40.

The survey, carried out by the Performing Rich Society, ranked the songs according to royalty payments.

The company's chairman Ellis Rich said people find karaoke an “uplifting” experience regardless of whether they can sing or not.

Guy Chambers, who wrote 'Angels' with Williams, said the song had endured because “it is a pop anthem and functions as a prayer at the same time.”

He added: “In an increasingly secular world we still need songs that bring people together."
