Steve Lamacq counted down the top 10, as the rest of the top 100 had been played throughout the day.
He said of Coldplay's win, "It's a good result for Coldplay, who were clearly one of the biggest bands of the decade."
The number two spot was taken by the Arctic Monkeys' 2005 hit 'I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor', followed by Elbow's 'One Day Like This' at number three.
