Fans of The Killers have crowned 'When You Were Young' as the band's best single in a recent Gigwise poll. See the full results below

The Sam's Town track was named the favourite with an impressive score of 8.9/10, beating the likes of 'All These Things That I've Done' and 'Read My Mind' to the top spot. 

'When You Were Young' was released in 2006, and while the departure in sound from the band's synth-pop debut to a more Americana-based direction shocked many fans, it went on to receive massive radio play and peaked at No.2 in the UK charts.

Surprising absences from the top five include the band's first two classic singles - 'Mr Brightside' and 'Somebody Told Me'. 

The lowest-ranking of The Killers' singles were all of the band's Christmas singles.
