Close behind the foursome in Phantom's reader poll were 'Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above' by Cansei de Ser Sexy and 'A Ghost In This House' by The Immediate.
“We were delighted to see a substantial number of Irish artists in the Top 105.2 Songs,” said Phantom's Music Director John Caddell. “It underlines the quality and popularity of local music.” Over a quarter of the songs appearing in the chart were Irish including Humanzi, Director, Bell X1, Star Little Thing, The Butterfly Explosion, Damien Rice, Straglers and Republic of Loose.
