Ronan's hits keep pub performers on song

Ronan Keating's chart-toppers are keeping pub and club performers on song.

The singer's tunes are among the most covered tracks by live acts in Britain with Life Is A Rollercoaster among the most popular.

Dance The Night Away by The Mavericks continues to top the chart since the Performing Rights Society began compiling the list three years ago.

Three songs which Keating has taken to number one feature in the top 20 of most performed songs with Rollercoaster at number four, When You Say Nothing At All at 10 and When The Going Gets Tough - a hit for his band Boyzone - at 11.

Robbie Williams manages two songs in the list with Angels at number two for the third time and Rock DJ at 18.

Oldies prove to be just as popular as more contemporary songs with The Beatles album track I Saw Her Standing There - nearly four decades old - at number eight, more popular than it was the previous year.
