Kings Of Leon We don't usually bother posting the results of surveys on DIY because, let's face it, they're usually rather spammy and boring, but we're making an exception for this one because it's a bit weird, and there's not much else going on today.

According to dating site eHarmony, 'Britain's favourite love song' is... wait for it... Kings Of Leon 'Sex On Fire'. Yes, really.

Good to see people aren't swayed by 'what's on the radio a lot', then.

Second and third place go to 'Let's Get It On' by Marvin Gaye and Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together', whilst Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' also makes an appearance in the top ten.

eHarmony.co.uk spokesperson, Helen Melluish comments: "With so many great love songs out there, Kings of Leon’s ‘Sex On Fire’ is certainly a surprising choice as the nation’s favourite. For now artists renowned for their heartfelt song writing such as Barry White, Luther Vandross and Lionel Ritchie are definitely out in the cold."

The top ten reads:

1. ‘Sex On Fire’ by Kings of Leon
2. ‘Let’s Get It On’ by Marvin Gaye
3. ‘Let’s Stay Together’ by Al Green
4. ‘Wonderful Tonight’ by Eric Clapton
5. ‘Your Song’ by Elton John
6. ‘I Will Always Love You’ by Whitney Houston
7. ‘November Rain’ by Guns ‘N’ Roses
8. ‘Bed of Roses’ by Bon Jovi
9. ‘Hello, I Love You’ by The Doors
10. ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ by Joy Division
