Britney is a top irritation

A poll by recruitment site retailchoice found Britney Spears is the most irritating music for shop workers, with Usher and Robbie Williams close behind and Christmas songs the worst.

But you didn't need me to tell you that. Anyway, Britney Spears has topped a poll run by recruitment website retailchoice to find out which is the most irritating music that shop workers have to listen to at work. Almost half of the respondents to the poll, which also names Usher and Robbie Williams, say that customers also complain about loud music driving them mad, whilst a third said that they had to listen to the same CD as many as twenty times a week. Workers also, not surprisingly, said that Christmas was the worst time of the year, because of the continuous repetition of songs like 'White Christmas', Slade's 'Merry Xmas Everybody' and a whole host of Cliff Richard songs.

And here they are. The top ten annoying singers, For Your Irritation.
