The Black Eyed Peas ‘I Got A Feeling’ and OneRepublic’s ‘Counting Stars’ also made the list.
Maroon 5’s ‘Moves Like Jagger’ features in a the Top 5 of a new poll which reveals the most listened to songs in the UK during the last decade.
The poll, compiled by PPL and BBC Radio 2, revealed the top 40 most played songs across radio and television in the UK throughout the 2010s.
As reported on the BBC, Pharrell Williams’ ‘Happy’ topped the list, followed by Adele’s ‘Rolling In The Deep’ and Maroon 5’s ‘Moves Like Jagger’ featuring Christiana Aguilera.
Now recognised as one of the biggest songs of all time, ‘Moves Like Jagger’ was initially released as a standalone single following ‘Hands All Over’. The Voice coach Christina Aguilera left her red chair to join fellow judge Adam Levine on this homage to The Rolling Stones’ frontman.
Other entries in the top ten include Daft Punk and Pharrell’s ‘Get Lucky’, Justin Timberlake’s ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ and ‘Uptown Funk’ from Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars. Kings of Leon’s ‘Sex On Fire’ completed the top 10 — you can see the list below.
The remaining songs on the Top 40 will be revealed by DJ Scott Mills on Radio 2 later today, 13 April.
