'Umbrella' by Rihanna is the UK's catchiest song, a new poll has found.

The song, which stayed in the number one spot on the singles chart for ten weeks last year, finished ahead of dancefloor classics 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA and 'YMCA' by the Village People in research from Onepoll.com.

Other tunes listed included 'Come On Eileen' by Dexy's Midnight Runners and Kylie Minogue's 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'.

"'Umbrella' was the hit everyone loved to hate. We loved it at first but it was annoying the 100th time," said the company.

"Even worse, while it was number one it seemed to be raining constantly."
