Robbie Williams London, December 6 (ANI): The most popular karaoke tunes that Britons love to sing have been revealed for the first time.

PRS for Music, formerly the Performing Right Society, compiled the list of the 25 most popular from an analysis of its data going back to the early 1990s, when the karaoke craze hit the UK.Topping the index was Waterloo, the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest winner by Abba, followed by Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, reports The Telegraph.

My Way by Frank Sinatra, Claude Francois & Jacques Revaux / Paul AnkaCame in third trailed by Gloria Gaynor, Frederick Perren & Dino Fekaris’s I Will Survive.

Wrapping up the top five was Dancing Queen by Abba, Benny Andersson & Bjoern Ulvaeus.

Nick Thistleton, from Lucky Voice, a chain of karaoke bars co-founded by Martha Lane Fox, said: “People always seem to gravitate towards the same 20 or so songs. The choices are possibly made to disguise a lack of ability, but whether you can sing well or not is not really relevant to karaoke.

“The songs that endure are those with strong melodies and lyrics that are reasonably easy.”
