Jessie J's 'Domino' was the most played pop song of 2012

  • April 17, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

jessie-j-bbcShorn former unitard wearing singer of song Jessie J had the most played pop single of 2012, according to PPL (as quoted here).

'Domino' beat off Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know', while over­looked song­stress Emeli Sandé was at Number 3 with 'Next To Me'.

But what does Jonathan Morrish from PPL think about it all?

"The top 10 most-played pop songs is always an impress­ive insight into what the nation has been listening to the previous year. These songs will undoubtedly stay with us for a long time."

That's quite a thought.

Anyway, here's the full Top Ten:

1. Jessie J — Domino

2. Gotye (Feat. Kimbra) — Somebody That I Used To Know

3. Emeli Sande — Next To Me

4. Maroon 5 — Moves Like Jagger

5. David Guetta (Feat. Sia) — Titanium

6. Olly Murs — Dance With Me Tonight

7. Kelly Clarkson — Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)

8. Rihanna & Calvin Harris — We Found Love

9. Carly Rae Jepson — Call Me Maybe

10. Maroon 5 — Payphone
