Coldplay song 'best of decade'

Coldplay hit Clocks has been named the greatest song of the decade by listeners to BBC station Radio 6 Music.

Custom byline text: 

The 2003 single topped a poll to find the favourite tracks of the station's lifetime, although bands were limited to just one song each.

The Arctic Monkeys single I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor was runner-up in the poll, which drew votes from 100,000 listeners.

The poll comes at the end of the station's 10th anniversary year and just a day after it celebrated becoming the biggest BBC digital station with 1.89 million listeners. In 2010 the service was threatened with closure due to cost-cutting, but the proposal was rejected by the BBC Trust.
