JOY Division's melancholic anthem Love Will Tear Us Apart has been named the greatest single of all time in a new poll.
The song topped the list compiled by the NME to mark the 50th anniversary of the singles chart.
It was released in January 1980, a month after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis, and reached number 13 in the charts -- the Manchester band's only top 20 hit.
