I don't understand why she's walking/running away from such a hottie 0.o! Anyway, this song deserves to be huge, if Girlfriend is your cup of tea, What The Hell doesn't disappoint one bit.
Swede-Pop! What's not to love? The chorus is amazing. All thanks to Paul!
Britney - Hold It Against Me
Britney is back! I'm sorry Brit for dissing this track when it was leaked. I was foolish back then. Now I can't get enough of the gorgeous middle 8 dubstep-ish breakdown.
Tim Berg - Seek Bromance
Ah, house music. Can't stop playing this track. BTW lovely video, anal and vaginal sex!YAY!
The Naked & Famous - Punching In A Dream
Very MGMT-esque and that's a good thing. Guess who's going to see MGMT this March? :) Thanks wwadh for highlighting them.
Le Kid - Mercy Mercy
Got to know about this song from Paul's TOP 35 tracks of 2010. Bloody brilliant I must say. I'm a big fan of this kinda track that give out the "sunshine all around" vibe. Makes me happy :)
The Naked and Famous - Young Blood
I love everything about this song. Definitely one of my favorites. It reminds me of all the good times with my friends X) Electro-indie-pop? LOVE!
Salem Al-Fakir - Split My Personality (Bassflow Remix)
Salem didn't disappoint. The beat and bass in this song just get me going and going and going in a good way. And it builds till it burst into the chorus. It's beautiful, just beautiful.
Avril Lavigne - What The Hell
What the hell?! How can you not love this song? Wait, how can I not love this song?
P!nk - Fuckin' Perfect
She's rollin' the fuckin' perfect 2nd single. I must say I'm lovin' this a lot and it reminds me of a more pop version of Whoknew. And Whoknew is a pretty darn fly song. So this make Fuckin' Perfect another pretty darn fly song in my book. Great job, P!nk!
Young The Giant - My Body
Another indie rock band that I discovered while blog hoppin'. And I must say their kinda music suits my kinda music palate. Oh yeah. Cause I want more!
Flight Facilities - Crave You feat Giselle
Laidback-electro? I don't know but this is very unique song which I find to be very lovely. The piano is just class. So is the breakdown of electro beats after the 2nd chorus. Love Giselle's voice :)
Rihanna - What's My Name? feat Drake
I find myself humming to this song sometimes. That's all. "It's Rihanna, dear."
Happy New Year everyone :) I just want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a wonderful year ahead :)
Back to the music. THIS is the 1st track this year that I'm going gaga for. That's why I'm in love with year end list, so many new discovery and gem. Good for the soul..
Matisse - Better Than Her feat. Akon
Gaga-much? Ah, love it.
BTW have you check out my best of 2010 list? If not, please clickhere.
Here goes nothing. The final part of my Top 30 Songs of 2010!
10. Kylie Minogue's Get Outta My Way
Crashing into #10 and we have the Royal Pop Highness, Kylie! This year, Aphrodite deliver and "Get Outta My Way" is a perfect summary of what she does best, dance-pop. The perfect summer single with a hint of attitude! She showed us what she's made of and I must say that I want more, more, more!!Love:) More from Kylie: All The Lovers
-----
9. Sophie Ellis-Bextor VS Armin van Buuren's Not Giving Up On Love
I have always been a big fan of Sophie's vocal and when she decided to paired up with one of the world famous trance DJ, they gave birth to this, an 2:53 minutes of pure audio magic. Vocal trance at its best! More from Sophie Ellis-Bextor: Bittersweet
-----
8. Eminem's Love The Way You Lie feat Rihanna
One of the most recognizable chorus this year and it's not about partying (cue "Tik Tok" and "California Gurls")!! How about that? You gotta give Eminem tons of credit finding the perfect partner to sing a song about abusive relationship! Eminem rap it best: "You don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game." That's so true.
-----
7. Robyn's Dancing On My Own
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her. (Robyn, stalker much?) I'm right over here, why can't you see me. (With your bleach white hair and he still can't notice you? Show off some of your dance moves! Good luck!) I'm givin' it my all, but I'm not the girl you're takin' home. (You said he can't notice you, how can he take you home then? Wait, you want him to take you home for!?! hehe :P I keep dancing on my own. (You go to a club all by yourself? Oh my.Bring some of your girlfriends yo! You don't need a man to have fun!) Gawd honest heartbreak electro-pop. Can't get any better than that. Apart from that, Body Talk is definitely one of the best album this year too! More from Robyn: Indestructible (Remix) and Hang with Me.
-----
6. Paramore's The Only Exception
One of my personal favorite this year. I remember getting hooked after listening it for the first few times. Haley's vocal is surprisingly pleasant and nice when she's not screaming. And the lyrics, hits home, hard. Nuff' said.
-----
5. Lady Antebellum's Need You Now
I'm not a country fan but "Need You Now" manage to steal my heart for having the lyrics that I can relate to.With lines like "And I wonder if I ever cross your mind, for me it happens all the time" and that chorus about drunk dialing is bull-eyes!! *sigh* who doesn't have an embarrassing incident with drunk dialing? LOL.
-----
4. B.O.B's Nothing On You feat Bruno Mars
B.O.B come out from nowhere and now he's ruling the airways with not just one but 2 mega hit of the year. But I have to say that this song would not succeed as big without the help from Bruno Mars' smooth buttery vocal. It gives me *butterflies* when I first listen to it. God knows how much I love this song. More from B.O.B: Airplanes feat Hayley Williams
-----
3. Bruno Mars' Just The Way You Are
Just when I thought "Nothin' On You" is one of the most sweetest song this year, Bruno Mars released this "boyband" R&B/pop song of the year. The romantic lyrics, that smooth voice, the song arrangement and that uber sweet chorus. And I melt. How can you not?~ *You gotta be kidding me if you don't think this is a staple boyband song*I can totally see The Wanted rocking out to this song. Bruno Mars' star continue to shine with the release of another awesome single, "Grenade". More from Bruno Mars: Grenade
-----
2. Katy Perry's Teenage Dream
I must say that "Teenage Dream" is one of Katy Perry's best track to date even when she's saying/screaming it one. word. by. one. word. during the catchy chorus rather than actually singing it. But what the hell, if it's an ace track, no one cares much. I can't say the same thing about this song when she performed it live though. *annoyed* I must say whoever that wrote/produce this song deserve a virtual bow and warm hugs from mua for their contribution to the music world. More from Katy Perry: Firework
Glee Cast (Darren Criss' version)
You can't escape the Glee-mania no matter where you go. And to say that Katy Perry's original version is awesome, Darren Criss' Glee version is way superior. No doubt about that. And to have this song sing by a gay guy to another gay guy in a hit television musical/drama show about the underdogs. It's just the delicious icing on the cake for this year! *yum*
----- and drum roll please.
1. Rihanna's Only Girl (In The World)
I must say, Rihanna redeemed herself by releasing this dance-pop gem after the experimental "Rated R" era. By taking a page from the awesome house-trance influenced "Don't Stop The Music" and make it more heavy in synth and bass, pulsating beats and soaring vocals, they created a monstrous single, perfect for her comeback to pop. And I welcome her back to the glorious World of Pop. *me being random* This is how I like my Rihanna, fun, energetic, sexy and seductive. More from Rihanna: Rude Boy, What's My Name?
That's it folks! 2010 have been great in the music world and I can't wait for all the possible goodies and surprises in 2011, especially from Lady Gaga!
20. Far East Movement - Like A G6 feat The Cataracs & Dev
This is the most happening party track of the year. I still don't get the the song but oh yeah, I'm flying like a G6.*No, I don't get that too.* More from FM: Rocketeer feat Ryan Tedder
19. Alexandra Burke - All Night Long (Remix) feat Pitbull
The 3rd and final "Alex" on my list makes its appearance at #19! To be honest, I'm not a big fan of "Hallelujah" nor "Bad Boys" but this totally seal the deal for me. Yay! psst: Pitbull is everywhere this year and I love this the most!
18. Mini Viva - One Touch
The saddest pop music casualty this year :( What's not to love about this song? And what's not to love about Mini Viva? *sigh* Listen and you will know what I mean. More from Mini Viva: I Wish (Cahill Remix)
17. Taio Cruz - Dynamite
How can I not put my hands in the air when I listen to this? And here I thought he can't get any better than "Break Your Heart". More from Taio Cruz: Higher feat Kylie
16. Nicki Minaj - Right Thru Me
Who knew she can release such lovely melody with such "classy" lyrics? "You see right thru me, how do you do that sh*t?" Perfection!
15. Cee-Lo Green - Fuck You!
Fuck You? Oh yeah! You can't go wrong with a song title like that (only if you're Cee Lo or Lily Allen)! The Glee Cast version feat. Gwyneth Paltrow ain't too shabby.
14. Graffiti 6 - Stare Into The Sun
The voice. The production. The melody. The video. There's just so many things to love about this song. Refreshingly satisfying :) More from Graffiti 6: Annie You Save Me
13. Nelly - Just A Dream
Nelly is finally back with a bang this year. I'm surprised that a rapper can have the most "heartbreaking song of the year".
12. Adam Lambert - Whataya Want From Me
I don't watch American Idol but Lambert proved that talents really does shine brightly/loudly anywhere you go. Too bad I don't think he can top this song anytime soon. Here's a goodie: Mash up of WWFM of P!nk and Adam.
11. Darin - Lovekiller
Why isn't Darin a breakout international popstar yet? Beats me. He is one of my faves male popstar, and his album, Lovekiller is one of the best album I've heard this year. That gotta mean something, right? More from Darin: Drowning & You're Out of My Life
The honorable mentions of the best songs of 2010 that didn't make it to my all *exclusive*Top 30 Songs of 2010! LOL.
~Why the HELL does this list come out after the #30 to #21 list? I don't know. I just recall that I need to do another list of songs that I love too :) In no particular order, here's some of the best that doesn't make it to the Top 30 songs of 2010.~
Starry Eyed is great but I love this more. The falsetto at 3:18 is killing meeeeee--ehhhh~ *click on the song title for the music video*
Mark Ronson - Somebody To Love Me feat Boy George & Andrew Wyatt
Is it the lyrics? Is it my love for Andrew Wyatt's voice? Or the 80's inspired up tempo melody? I guess it's the combination of those 3 factors that make this track great.
Brandon Flowers - Crossfire
It didn't ~burn~ enough to chart at my Top 30 but definitely worth a mention here. There's a short period of 2010 where I am obsessed about this song for all the unknown reasons.
Matt Nathanson - Still
The only reason why this is NOT on my Top 30 is because it's not released this year (2008). Another absolute favorite of mine. All thanks to Mandy.
Kele - Tenderoni
No idea why the sudden changes from Bloc Party front man but I know I'm diggin' this a hell lot.
Maroon 5 - Give A Little More
Why not Misery instead? Because it's not sexy enough for me, plain and simple.
Drake - Find Your Love I don't get the hype surrounding him but I get this song though.
*cough cough* The only song from Esmée that I love. The chorus of this song sticks to my head like a great pop song should sound. *click on the song title for the music video*
McFly - Shine A Light feat Taio Cruz
Anything that Taio touches this year is golden, eh eh eh?
Bright Light Bright Light - Love Part II
What's with the 80's revival synth-pop-electro thingy going on? *blur* At least this guy does it well.
SHINee - Hello
I don't want to say goodbye to them. Does that count?
The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio
This song barely miss out the Top 30! I love how the lead singer's attitude shines through the song like he doesn't give a damn about it. Oh so cool~
Daft Punk - Derezzed TRON:Legacy is saved by Daft Punk. Nuff said.
Shontelle - Impossible
Impossible? Gotta be one of the year best R&B ballad.
nb: I forgot to mention that Lady Gaga (Monster, Alejandro and Telephone) wont be appearing in my Top Songs of 2010 this year since I believe everyone knows how much I adore Lady Gaga. I just want to highlight some other amazing songs from other artists that deserve the fame and attention too :)
I guess it's time for me to kick off my Top 30 songs of 2010 list! *loud imaginary hand claps from my fans and friends :)*
30. Alexis Jordan - Happiness
What's not to love about this song? Awesome beats from Deadmau5 and lovely sweet voice from Alexis. Winning combo. Hurry, hurry, hurry, now quick, quick, quick :)
29. Alex Gaudino - I'm In Love (I Wanna Do It)
I found myself listening to this over and over again. I guess my subconscious is telling me that I'm In Love with it. Get it? LOL.
28. Usher - DJ Got Us Falling In Love Again
Whoever that decide to release DJ as a single should be given a huge arse bonus raise. More from Usher: OMG
27. Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love
Not my usual cup of tea but this is really good. It's the unfamiliar and beautiful "middle eastern" influence beats that makes this song so great. *hypnotize*
26. GaIn - Irreversible
The ONLY kpop song this year that catches my fancy. Yay! (No?)
25. P!nk - Raise Your Glass
What a great song for all the underdog, I'm definitely Raising My Glass for P!nk!
24. The Wanted - Replace Your Heart
I know this is not a single but I love this song to ~death~. Still a sucka for boyband pop. No regrets :) More from The Wanted: Heart Vacancy
23. Example - Kickstarts
One of the finest UK rap dance track of the year. Party-must-have-music. More from Example: Watch The Sun Comes Up
22. Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me
I feel like a douche for liking this song but I don't care because the electro beats are totally my kinda thing. More from Mike Posner: Please Don't Go
21. Broken Bells - The Ghost Inside
I still can't get over this band and especially this song, all thanks to wwadh. This pair is just brilliant. Most underrated musician of the year. More from Broken Bells: The High Road
Hello peeps. It's been a long while since I post something here. I'm back! But not for long. But I can't help to gush about the next song that I'm about to post :)
GLEE's Teenage Dream
It's a no brainer that I am a huge fan of Katy Pee's original version but GLEE's version just brings it up to another whole new level of awesome. His voice, his smile, the thick eyebrows and his overall persona. Welcome Blaine aka Darren Criss! Gah, I'm just glad that Kurt finally had a chance to be happy since GLEE is definitely a show about the underdogs/minorities (one of the reason why I love that show so much). I love the fact they are handling the bullying issue too (my heart goes out to all those teens that took their lives because of bullying).
Kurt + Blaine = Klaine!!!
One of GLEE best song.
And I can safely say its vying a spot on my all time faves song position too.
ps: I can't wait for everyone's BEST OF 2010 list! :)
