ABBA and Elvis Presley both feature twice
The most popular karaoke songs for 2008 have been revealed.

Guy Chambers, who co-wrote 'Angels' track with Robbie Williams, said of the song: "I think 'Angels' has endured because it is a pop anthem and functions as a prayer at the same time. In an increasingly secular world we still need songs that bring people together."
The track has now sold two million copies globally.
