A Whiter Shade of Pale

In the BBC Radio 2 Poll, 1999

Radio 2 Top 100 tunes of the 20th Century [but see here for a better result!]

Based on listeners' votes, panel of songwriters, Radio 2 DJs, radio airplay, sales figures and sheet music sales, this has AWSoP at 28, behind Yesterday (No 1), White Christmas (4), Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (14), Bohemian Rhapsody (18), Grapevine (24), Heartbreak Hotel (26) ...

... but ahead of Stairway to Heaven, Let it Be, American Pie, Without You, Hotel California, Strawberry Fields Forever, Nights in White Satin, and every Dylan song except for Blowin' in the Wind (22).
