PRS have revealed the top ten most played songs in the UK over the last five years, based on TV, radio and online plays, as well as in venues. Coming out at number one is 'Bad Day' by Daniel Powter, followed by tracks from Kelly Clarkson and James Blunt. I can safely say that every one of these tracks has followed me around the bars, shops and coffee-haunts of the capital at one time or another in recent years.

Here's the full list:

1. Daniel Powter - Bad Day

2. Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You

3. James Blunt - You're Beautiful

4. Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin

5. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

6. Maroon 5 - This Love

7. Take That - Shine

8. Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On

9. Will Young - Leave Right Now

10. Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape
