All of the tracks we examined are among the best-known pop tracks in the UK, and none of them showed extreme differences in recognisability between their hooks and their least-catchy moments: no more than 30 per cent of what would theoretically be possible. But given that constraint, the catchiest songs also showed the greatest differences in recognisability between their hooks and their verses or bridges, a declarat autoarea studiului. 

Spice Girls sunt unul dintre cele mai de succes grupuri britanice, iar reuniunea lor e dorita de multi fani, insa singura data cand fetele au mai cantat impreuna a fost cu ocazia Jocurilor Olimpice de la Londra.
