In honour of Valentine's Day, music licensing company PPL has released an official chart of the Most Played Love Songs of the 21st Century. Aggregated using PPL’s exclusive UK airplay data, the chart collates those songs about love, longing and adoration played on BBC and commercial UK radio stations between 2000 and 2015. The PPL Most Played Love Songs of the 21st Century chart has thrown up some interesting results, revealing a wide variety of tracks from the hearts of pop’s most famous besotted and love-struck songsters. "Chasing Cars", Snow Patrol’s 2006 Grammy-winning track comes in at first place, followed by "Rule the World" by Take That at number two, and "Can’t Get You Out of My Head" by Kylie Minogue at number three. Timeless classics such as "I Say A Little Prayer" by Aretha Franklin at number 31 in the chart and "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers at number 65, are surpassed by less conventional contemporary tracks like "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne at number nine, and "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z, at number four. Power ballads, film soundtracks and up-tempo dance tunes all feature on the list, proving that whether you choose to serenade your loved one in the style of James Blunt or Bon Jovi, there is a tune from this list to croon to this Valentine’s Day.
