Figures released today (April 15) show that Jessie J’s second No.1 single ‘Domino’ was the most played pop song of last year.

Jessie J, 25, is currently a judge on BBC singing show The Voice and has improved on last year’s standings when her second ever single ‘Price Tag’ came fourth on the 2011 list of popular tracks.

‘Domino’, the fifth single from the singer’s debut album ‘Who You Are’, was released in August 2011 but only achieved pole position in the charts as late as January the next year. The track also went on to be nominated for Best British single at The 2013 Brit Awards. It also performed well in US sales and featured at number 6 on The Billboard Hot 100, becoming Jessie J’s most successful stateside single to date.

Penultimate to ‘Domino’ on the 2012 list was Gotye hit ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’, followed up by Emeli Sandé’s ‘Next To Me’ in third place. Other artists helping to make up 2012’s top ten tracks included Maroon 5, who achieved two top ten tracks, David Guetta, Olly Murs, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna and Calvin Harris, and Carly Rae Jepsen.

These listings are announced every year by music licensing and royalties company PPL. Jonathan Morrish, Director of PR and Corporate Communications, had this to say concerning the 2012 findings:

“The top ten most played pop songs is always an impressive insight into what the nation has been listening to the previous year. This list represents a great range of artists and recordings both from UK and around the world. These songs will undoubtedly stay with us for a long time.”

The chart is compiled from PPL data that includes not just a track’s amount of radio play but also its use in recordings on television and in venues such as pubs, clubs, shops and bars.
