To celebrate New Zealand Music Month, we asked you to vote for New Zealand's greatest song - our unofficial anthem.
With 13 songs to choose from - including classic hits like Poi E and Slice of Heaven through to more modern hits like Sway and Royals - more than 7,000 Kiwis voted for their favourite.
Despite topping the charts, Lorde's recent hit Royals couldn't compete with the likes of Fred Dagg or Crowded House, claiming just one per cent of the vote.
Likewise, The Fourmyula, Dragon, Blam Blam Blam and Bic Runga were blitzed by The Exponents and Engelbert Humperdinck (for his Kiwi favourite Ten Guitars).
We have now found the song that has been voted as 'New Zealand's Unofficial National Anthem'; 'Poi E' by the Patea Maori Club.
