Will Young tops Music Week poll of favourite British artist

Will Young has topped the Music Week May Day poll of radio listeners' favourite British artist of all time, ahead of Robbie Williams and the Spice Girls.

And back now to pointless surveys involving the opinions of radio listeners. Will Young has topped the annual Music Week May Day poll of the radio listening public as to their favourite British artist of all time. No offence to Young, but you do have to wonder who votes in these things sometimes.

Also in the top ten in the survey were Robbie Williams, Spice Girls, Sugababes, Take That, Gorillaz, Oasis and Beverley Knight, proving that when it comes to these kinds of surveys, people have very short memories.

Young said he was "honoured" to have topped the poll, adding: "What makes it so special is that it's voted for by the public".
