The Catchiest Songs Of All time Are…

Kylie Minogue
They are the songs that inspire a love-hate relationship - the ones we love to listen to but then remain stuck in our heads for hours.

And, according to the Daily Mail,  yesterday it emerged Kylie Minogue’s aptly-titled Can’t Get You Out Of My Head has acquired the title of catchiest song of all time in a poll which saw a string of celebrities nominate their favorites.  The British celebs nominated tunes they still found themselves humming along to hours after listening to them.

Scientists hope the findings will help future research into Alzheimer’s disease, allowing them to use the catchiest musical fragments to trigger memories.

The poll of 700 people was designed to launch the largest ever experiment into what makes music memorable organized by Manchester Science Festival.

Minogue’s track was followed closely in second place by Robin Thicke’s Blurred lines and Daft Punks summer hit Get Lucky.

In fourth place came Abba’s SOS, followed by The Birdie Song by the Tweets and the Soprano’s theme tune Woke Up This Morning by Alabama 3 which was nominated in sixth place.
