Britain's shopworkers just can't get Kylie out of their heads - and they really, really want to.
Kylie Minogue has been voted third-most annoying singer of in-store music in a poll of British shop staff. American pop princess Britney Spears headed the list, as voted by the 1400 workers polled by recruitment website retailchoice.com. A third of shop staff had to endure the same album being played up to 20 times a week, according to the survey. Almost half of those polled said they had received complaints from customers about maddening music blaring through a shop.
Workers in fashion and shoe shops suffered most from "repetitive record syndrome", having to listen to the same songs being played over and over again.
The top 10 most played - and most annoying - singers were: Britney Spears, Usher, Kylie Minogue, 50 Cent, Robbie Williams, Akon, Beyonce, Blue, Justin Timberlake and Michael Jackson.
Christmas was the most testing time for the ears of retail workers, with Jingle Bells topping the list of the most hated seasonal songs, followed by Slade's Merry Christmas Everyone and White Christmas by Bing Crosby. | ?? ??
Enough is enough ... Kylie Minogue |
