BBCA choir stopped commuters in their tracks earlier, belting out Hull’s favourite Coldplay song ahead of the band’s two concerts in the city.
BBC Radio Humberside revealed on Friday that the most popular song, as chosen by listeners, was Fix You, which members of the All For One Choir then sang at Paragon Station.
After the top song was announced to the choir, they erupted into applause and cheers, before performing the song in harmonies.
One rail passenger said: “Hearing all those voices just started my day off really well. Fix You was definitely a good choice.”
Helen Garnett, from the choir, said members were excited to perform.
“We were here bright and early as everyone was absolutely amazing at getting in – we’ve got people from Ripon, Cleethorpes, Market Weighton, Driffield, Hull and Beverley,” she said.
Other songs that made the top five were The Scientist, A Sky Full of Stars, Viva La Vida and Yellow.
Meanwhile, as excitement builds ahead of Coldplay’s concerts at Craven Park on Monday and Tuesday, it was announced 20 volunteers from various charities including Hull Women’s Aid, Men in Sheds and Hull CVS have been given free tickets.
