Behold the listeners of the Early Breakfast and their fantastic taste in music! Having read that Careless Whisper by George Michael booted Imagine by John Lennon off the top of the list of the Best Songs Ever (in a survey done by a radio station in the UK) they were incensed!
A worthy winner, in my opinion but what's that got to do with anything? Scroll down to see who won Best Song Ever as voted by the listeners!
Let me know if we've missed anything and you never know - it may get a spin over the rest of the week...
