This year there's been a massive influx of World Cup songs from countries and stars all over the world, and so we've decided to take a look at some of those that are sure to stand out from the crowd.

Stevie Wonder's 'Another Star'

The BBC will use this song as the soundtrack to their World Cup coverage - a track with an infectious Latin American vibe that is to be used as the opening sequence for all programming, starting on June 11 with the preview show.

It marks the first time Stevie has ever given approval for one of his songs to be used in this way.

Gary Barlow's reworked 'Greatest Day'

So this one got a whole heap of attention for all of the wrong reasons, and after becoming England's official World Cup song, it's now been dropped before single release.

Many say it was due to the song just being bad, but Barlow's recent Inland Revenue involvement could offer up some more clues as to why it will no longer hit airwaves.

Gabz's 'Holiday In Brazil'

Aiming to provide fans with an infectious and exciting anthem, Gabz will also be raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK with the release of her track.

After making the 2013 Britain's Got Talent finals, Gabz will now aim to become the first ever female solo artist to have an England World Cup Song chart hit.

Lily Allen's 'Bass Like Home'

Dubbing it her 'unofficial' ode to this year's World Cup, Lily revealed a brand new track just a few days ago on her SoundCloud page.

Referencing a number of English exports including Paul Gascoigne and William Shakespeare, the song is patrotic in spades with some hilarious tongue-in-cheek humour laced throughout.
