Buckley tops Absolute Radio chart

Rex Features

Jeff Buckley's cover of Leonard Cohen song 'Hallelujah' has been named Absolute Radio's top song of 2008.

Listeners chose the track ahead of the version released by X Factor winner Alexandra Burke, which hit the Christmas number one spot. The full countdown will be played on the station from 8pm tomorrow.

'Hallelujah' became the focus of an internet campaign to reach the top of the singles charts earlier this month. However, it lost out to Burke's version, finishing at number two.
