Billie Jean was third, ahead of Hotel California by The Eagles.
Latin American superstar Shakira was fifth with La Tortura and Smells Like Teen Spirit from Nirvana landed in sixth spot.
The Beatles had their only entry at No7 with Yesterday.
U2's One was eighth, Imagine by John Lennon was ninth and Dire Straits hit Sultans Of Swing was 10th.
The global poll was conducted by Sony Ericsson to launch its new Walkman phone.
