Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol has been named the most-played song on British radio this century.

 

The epic ballad was released in 2006 and only reached a high of No 6 in the UK charts, but went on to spend a total of 166 weeks in the Top 100.

 

Music licensing body PPL calculated that it received the most plays, ahead of I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas, and Happy by Pharrell.

 

Gary Lightbody, the band’s frontman, described Chasing Cars as “an emotionally open song, and it’s a simple song.
