Daft Punk's Get Lucky was the most streamed track of 2013 in the UK.

The dance duo's million-selling single topped the list of most listened to songs ahead of Bastille's Pompeii and Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines.

According to the Official Charts Company, the number of songs streamed in the UK last year was almost double 2012's figure.

In the last year 7.4 billion songs were streamed via premium or ad-funded music services.

Passenger's Let Her Go and Avicii's Wake Me Up complete the top five on the list.

Naughty Boy's La La La and Radioactive by Imagine Dragons also appear in the top 10.
