London: Pop star Britney Spears' version of I Love Rock 'N' Roll has been named the worst cover version of a song ever.

The 29-year-old singer released her version of the original Joan Jett track in 2002 but music fans were unimpressed with Spears' rendition.

And now readers of music website NME have voted it their least favourite cover, reported Contactmusic.

Boyzone star Ronan Keating's Fairytale of New York by The Pogues came second in the survey, while Celine Dion's version of AC DC's You Shook Me All Night Long was named the third worst cover.

Muse's rendition of Feeling Good by Nina Simone was branded the best cover of recent years in the poll.
