Mr Blobby tops a list of the UK’s 50 most hated albums of all time.
Noel Edmond’s pink and polka-dotted sidekick scooped the honour after music fans voted in their droves for his 1994 effort, “Mr Blobby the Album”.
Somewhat unsurprisingly, Transylvanian twins the Cheeky Girls poll in second place with their 2004 album “Party Time”.
Late 90s dance group the Vengaboys were voted in at third place through their 1999 effort, “The Party Album”.
Controversially, despite enjoying a huge amount of recent success, Justin Bieber completes the top five with 2012 album “Believe” and last year’s “Purpose” coming fourth and fifth respectively.
Commissioned by online trade-in site Ziffit.com, 2000 UK adults voted for their least favourite album.
Coincidentally, one in eight people who took part in the survey admitted they had owned a copy of an album they voted the worst of all time.
The top 10 was rounded out with “Aquarium” by cartoon pop group Aqua, Bruce Willis’s vanity project “The Return of Bruno”, One Direction’s “Take Me Home”, “JLS” by JLS and “Mmmbop: The Collection” by Hanson.
Paul Treanor, eCommerce director for online trade-in site Ziffit.com, which commissioned the survey of 2,000 UK adults, said: “Everyone has their own taste in music.
“What one person thinks is the best album ever, will be something another believes to be the worst, so it’s interesting to see what the general opinion of the nation is.
“Mr Blobby will have been a popular character in the 90s, which is why he landed number one when his single was released.
“However, tastes can change which is reflected by him now having the worst album ever written according to the 2,000 who answered the survey.
“As for Justin Bieber, it would be interesting to know if his recent poor behaviour has led to respondents thinking his albums aren’t any good.”
Other albums which featured included “Back to Bedlam” by James Blunt (19), Lou Reed’s “unlistenable” “Metal Machine Music” (20), Robbie Williams’ “Swing When You’re Winning” (23).
Paul added: “At Ziffit our service helps us stay on top of changing consumer trends in music.
“However, I was still intrigued to see despite Justin Bieber’s apparent growing popularity he features twice in the worst album list”
“There could potentially be a lot of controversy in this list, especially when the likes of One Direction and Justin Bieber have polled so highly.”
