Queen song 'We Are The Champions' has been voted the world's favourite song in a Sony Ericsson poll of 700,000 music fans across 66 countries. That standard top ten Queen favourite 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was down in 26th place. Sony Ericsson Corporate Vice President Dee Dutta said: "We Are The Champions is an anthem worldwide both in music and sporting arenas. It conveys the passion music brings to our lives and proves a classic rock song is truly timeless".
Other songs that made the top ten included Britney Spears' 'Toxic', which, for some unknown reason, came in second, followed by Michael Jackson's 'Billie Jean' in third place. It seems the Jackson fans were out in force in the UK though; the UK top ten comprised no less than seven Jackson hits, with the three remaining places going to the aforementioned 'Bohemian Rhapsody', GnR's 'Welcome To The Jungle' and, predictably, Robbie Williams' 'Angels'.
