| Arctic Monkeys Have All-Time Favourite Student Anthem |
|
'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor', debut chart-topping single from Arctic Monkeys has been named the all-time favourite student anthem after topping a recent poll.
Approximately 200 student DJs took part in the vote which was carried out by the NME for their 2006 Student Guide - free in last week's NME magazine.
The 'Monkeys did hold off some stiff competition from the likes of The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand who all made the top 10 with their respective anthems.
The top 10 went as follows:
1. I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor (Arctic Monkeys)
2. Mr Brightside (The Killers)
3. I Predict A Riot (Kaiser Chiefs)
4. Take Me Out (Franz Ferdinand)
5. This Charming Man (The Smiths)
6. Hounds of Love (Futureheads)
7. Naive (The Kooks)
8. Last Nite (The Strokes)
9. Banquet (Bloc Party)
10. Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division)
Dan Silver, student editor of NME said: "Its no surprise that the Arctic Monkeys have taken the top spot - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor is a worthy winner always guaranteed to pack any Student Union bar with revellers. It's great to see some old classics can still work their magic too."
'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' is almost the most recent song in the list, second only to The Kooks' recent hit 'Naive'. |
