LONDON, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Listeners of Britain's Virgin Radio have chosen John Lennon's "Imagine" as their favorite song of all time.

The Beatles' "Hey Jude" was second, followed by "Let It Be," in the poll of 7,000 music fans, the BBC reported Saturday.

No. 4 was "One" by U2 and No. 5 was "Angels" by Robbie Williams.

The Beatles had the most entries in the list of top 500 songs with 33, while the Rolling Stones had 17 and U2 had 15, the BBC said. David Bowie and Queen tied with 14 each while U.S. new wavers Blondie had eight songs on the final tally.

Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" finished No. 6 in the poll. "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin was No. 7 and the No. 8 position was held by The Police and "Every Breath You Take."

The Top 10 was filled out by The Eagles' "Hotel California" and newcomer James Blunt with his hit, "You're Beautiful."
