What a year... so many awesome bands and songs to write about... but let me start with my top 20 songs of the year. So how I did I come up with these?
It's simple... I started with my iTunes library... I looked at all the new songs I picked up in 2010, and sorted them by number of plays... and here's what I came up with (and in case you care!!... the number of plays are noted in orange):

4.) Sunlounger "Lost (Chill Version)" (126)
5.) Robots with Rayguns "Sugarbaby" (122)
6.) Lady Gaga "Alejandro (sound of arrows remix)" (121)
7.) Gareth Emery "Sanctuary (radio edit)" (119)
8.) Markus Schultz "Not the same" (119)
9.) Darius and Finlay "Rock to the beat" (116)
10.) Akon "Oh Africa (pepsi version)" (113)

Just a few comments on the list... there are several songs here that aren't available in the USA yet... and it just plain rots that it's the case! Hurts (anything by them) and Rosanna's "waterfall" are the perfect examples. Slobodan River is another example, but "surrounded" is old... dating back a few years ago. As you can see in my image post, I included Landon Donovan from the US World Cup team... well that's because the World Cup heavily influenced my top 20... with Akon and Shakira being on my constant playlist from May - July. Remixers Fear of Tigers and Robots with Rayguns deserve some special attention as well... as they remain my favorites from this year. Both made their albums available for free one the web... so go and look for them... neither will disappoint!
Back to the World Cup for a final comment... here's the best TV ad of the tournament... Thank you pepsi and Akon!! Watch it on Youtube by clicking here.
