Sir Paul McCartney is most irritating pop star
MusicRadar, Wed 7 May, 3:51 pm BST
He’s penned some of the greatest songs in rock music’s canon and was a leading light in its biggest band, but such minor achievements haven’t been enough to prevent Sir Paul McCartney from being voted pop’s most irritating star.
In a poll conducted by CD exchange site Music Magpie, Macca came out ahead of James Blunt, who, as well as singing some truly abysmal songs, also has the benefit of surname that’s conducive to rhyming-slang-based ridicule.
Lily Allen’s position at number 3 was surely cemented by her uniformly awful TV show, while Robbie Williams can probably count himself lucky only to have been voted fourth most annoying.
Perennial irritants Cliff Richard and Bono pop up lower down the list, as do UK soul ‘luminaries’ Joss Stone and Craig David. Blame a chocolate advert and Bo’Selecta for their appearances.
Here’s the top 10 in full:
1. Sir Paul McCartney
2. James Blunt
3. Lily Allen
4. Robbie Williams
5. Amy Winehouse
6. Bono
7. Cliff Richard
8. Pete Doherty
9. Joss Stone
10. Craig David
So, what do you think – is Sir Paul really the most irritating man in pop? Tell MusicRadar who raises your hackles below…

Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty - both fantastic talents, shame about their problems. I guess those lame asses who choose to forget that 90% of their bands were crack heads themselves hate them. the tabloids should get the stick. Anyway, Joss Stone - sings well, but annoying and her music is average. Agree with the rest. BUT. top of the list should definitely go to that cunt of a man. the vomit inducing Bob Geldof. what a twat.

Personally I think that Amy Winehouse should be number 1 in the list,
She is a f***ing wreck with all the drug taking and alcohol, and worst of all when I am watching TV, all I see is news about Amy Winehouse!!!
I think that she should be number 1 as the most irritating (so called) pop star.
