A poll of BBC 6 Music listeners has seen Coldplay's 'Clocks' voted as the greatest song of the past ten years.
The station created the poll to celebrate its tenth anniversary year, and Coldplay's 2003 hit topped the poll - which aimed to find listeners' favourite songs from the station's lifetime.
Steve Lamacq counted down the top 10, as the rest of the top 100 had been played throughout the day.
He said of Coldplay's win, "It's a good result for Coldplay, who were clearly one of the biggest bands of the decade."
The number two spot was taken by the Arctic Monkeys' 2005 hit 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor', followed by Elbow's 'One Day Like This' at number three.
The top five was completed by The National's 'Bloodbuzz Ohio' at number four, and The Killers' 'Mr Brightside' at number five.
