Nadia Ali, Starkillers & Alex Kenji = biggest song of the year
What a year for music!! So many awesome trax, bands, and releases to go on and on about... so let's start with my top 25 songs release in 2011!!! |
#25. Dennis Shepard, "Some Day"
I'm not sure why I liked this song so much this year... but whatever!
#24. Lady Gaga "The Edge of Glory"
I know, I know... Lady Gaga is a bit over exposed (or nearly always exposed!! har har!)... but this song tears it up... and features the best use of Sax since... er... since sax was used in dance music! Oh... too bad the video was tragically horrible!!
#23. Vanbot "Lost without you"
Blazing synths, and terrific vocals... check it out!
#22. ATB "Killing me inside (featuring Sean Ryan)"
Who's Sean Ryan, you might ask?! I don't know! But I don't care... this trax is awesome!
#21. Darren Hayes "Hurt"
My early favorite from his new album... which is just amazing. I'm not wild about his haircut though... perhaps he'll give it "some air" when he tours the USA (please, please, please!!!)
#20. Gypsy & The Cat "Sight of A Tear"
Another fav from Aussie... I absolutely adore them... Unfortunately, their music is hard to come by in the USA! Ugh!
#19. Gareth Emery & Lucy Saunders "Sanctuary"
Just wicked... the most massive trance song of the year!
#18. Cheryl Cole "3 Words (Steve Angello Remix)"
Awesome, awesome, awesome remix... what was Ashley Cole thinking, btw??? Is she not the hottest singer in the world???
#17. Cascada "San Francisco"
Terribly cheesey song, but perrrrfect for long runs at the gym!!
#16. Pitbull "Give Me Everything"
Please pass the cheese puffs! Another epic cheesey gym song... but it is epic in it's awesomeness!! Love the low pitched dude! So much fun to sing along to!
#15. Clancy "4000 Shards (StardonE Remix)"
I first heard this song on The Fear of Tigers Podcast... and I instantly fell in love with it. Awesome house dance song. And the cover for the release is purrrrfection... with the techno-feline!
#14. Nadia Ali "When it rains"
While not released, I must have listened to this song via her video post a million times! And the video is cool too!
#13. Shwayze & Cisco "You Could Be My Girl"
I'm not sure why Shwayze and Cisco are now going by Shwazye and Cisco... because they used to be the combo know only as Shwayze... but regardless, this is a massive song... one made for lazy days at the beach.
#12. Kaskade "Eyes"
Love it! Love it! Love it! Yes, a hat-trick of love!
#11. Patrick Stump "This City"
Yo... this song is made for pumping you up before a big game! Unbelievable that Patrick lost so much weight, since leaving Fall Out Boy. Great work man!
#10. Glenn Morrison "I see you in me"
Mellow trance that I just couldn't get enough of!
#9. Sound of Arrows "Conquest"
The Sound of Arrow's new album "Voyage" is the must have album of 2011. From the initial single, "Nova", to this song, the album contains one-hit after another! Like Darren Hayes, I hope they tour the USA in 2012!
#8. Rihanna "We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris)
Until Rihanna released this song, I thought her star had fallen. Her earlier releases this year were just terrible. But then teaming up with Calvin Harris, she scored big with this dance floor monster!
#7. Flo Rida "Good Feeling"
The biggest chorus in all of 2011! Put this song on, and go for a run... and you'll break every running record you've ever set! Awesome!
#6. Sound of Arrows "Wonders"
The Sound of Arrows return to my countdown with my favorite track from their new album. Energy, dreamy, and epic... are the best three words to describe "Wonders."
#5. 009 Sound System "Wings"
My vote for the most unexpected pop hit! Who would have imagined 009 Sound System to offer up a dance-hall-like groove in 2011. Love it to pieces!
#4. Nadia Ali, Starkillers & Alex Kenji "Pressure (Alesso Radio Edit)"
"Pressure" appears twice in this list... thanks in a large part to two awesome remixes. This was my most unescapable song of the year. I listened to it constantly... but it was utterly amazing!
#3. Medina "Lonely"
Hailed as Europe's Lady Gaga... which is more of a diss on Medina. I love nearly everything she has released... and Lonely is no exception.
#2. Visitor "Because of You"
Unavailable yet... but "Because of You" was featured on the Fear of Tigers podcast... and I was hooked. I am so excited for 2012 because this will finally become available!
#1. Nadia Ali "Pressure (Clokx Radio Remix)"
Awesome!!!!! Let's face it... Nadia Ali rules!!! Happy new year everyone!
