Scientists from Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry have published the results of a year-long study into what makes a catchy tune.

More than 12,000 people got involved in the Citizen Science experiment - revealing the most memorable songs.

They found the Spice Girls’ ‘Wannabe’ was No 1 and the UK’s most instantly recognisable song.

It takes the average person just 2.29 seconds to recognise the track from the song’s catchiest hook at 45 seconds in - ‘If you wanna be my lover…’ to Zig-a-zig-ahh'.

Lou Bega’s ‘Mambo No. 5’ came second with listeners recognising the track after just 2.48 seconds, starting from the iconic ‘A little bit of Monica in my life…’.

‘Eye of the Tiger’ by Survivor took the third spot in the chart.
