This is one sure way to beat the bank holiday blues - Greatest Hits Radio has revealed the UK's Official Top 300 most-streamed songs from the 70s, 80s and 90s

With the show beaming out across the bank holiday weekend, we can reveal that Oasis' Wonderwall has taken the top spot in the station’s The UK’s Official Top 300 Most Streamed Songs from the 70s 80s and 90s, compiled by the Official Charts Company.

The most enduring hit from Noel and Liam Gallagher, Wonderwall was originally released in 1995 and reached Number 2 on the Official Singles Chart. It is both is biggest single to never reach Number 1, and one of the best-selling singles in the history of the UK's Official Chart.

Queen came in at Number 2 on the list with their 1975 classic Bohemian Rhapsody, while Fleetwood Mac claimed both Number 3 and Number 4 with Everywhere and Dreams respectively. 

Rounding out the Top 5, we have Queen again with Don't Stop Me Now at Number 5.

The wider Top 10 is completed by the likes of Toto's Africa (6), Goo Goo Dolls' Iris (7) and Journey's Don't Stop Believin' (9).

The only female solo artist to reach the Top 10 is the late, great Whitney Houston, who is at Number 10 with her eternal party starter anthem, I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)

Greatest Hits Radio’s Network Content Director, Andy Ashton commented “This chart is always a fascinating look at which Greatest Hits are not only still resonating with audiences today, but also which songs are getting a new least of life thanks to film, television and viral moments on social media.

"The whole chart has given us a brilliant Bank Holiday weekend of music thanks to some legendary songs and, of course, the legendary voices behind them."
