Okay, I've decided to create a list of Top 20 Best Songs (my version) of 2010. The songs have to be released within 2010. The later ones released are gonna be easy, but I'll try to make it fair and include the ones released earlier in the year. Oh, and another thing about me, I'm not those types of person who try so hard to be considered 'niche' and therefore only put 'weird' dan uncommon songs in their list just to make people think, "hey this guy must have a unique and distinct taste" BULLSHIT! Music is music. It can be popular, it can be a hit, and it can also be hidden under the radar. If it's good music to me then it's good music. I don't care if it's popular or not.... anyways, enough babbling, Here goes!
20 : Kansai - Ra Ra Riot
19 : Pack Up - Eliza Doolittle
18 : Her Words Destroy My Planet - Motion City Soundtrack
17 : Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars
16 : Back It Up - Caro Emerald
15 : Dance Mother - Sweet Thing
14 : Rhythm of Love - Plain White T's
13 : You and I - Secondhand Serenade
12 : Break Your Heart - Taio Cruz
11 : Fireflies : Owl City
10 : Up in The Clouds - Darwin Deez
09 : Nothin' On You - B.o.B feat. Bruno Mars
08 : Captive - Sarah Harmer
07 : Self Machine - I Blame Coco
06 : The Girl is Gone - Mystery Jets
05 : Shadowcasting - Ra Ra Riot
04 : Magic - B.o.B feat. Rivers Cuomo
03 : Serotonin - Mystery Jets
02 : No Mozart - Natasha Beddingfield
01 : Love - Lesley Meguid
There you go! Finally! phewww!.. It was a tough one when I got into the top 7 songs..
So, as you see... You will find in my list some popular songs such as the phenomenal 'Nothin' on You', 'Just The Way You Are', 'Magic' and 'Break Your Heart'.. Some 'cool' people would probably consider these too popular to be in my list, but I don't care. They are good quality songs and deserved to be there!
Songs from John Mayer's Battle Studies, although influential to a lot of people in early 2010, but the album itself was launched late 2009, so I can't put it here. Others like Eric Hutchinson's or Corinne Bailey Rae's are also the same. If I could include them, you would see a totally different top 20.

Another thing you probably see in my list are songs from a repeated singer. BoB, Bruno Mars, Mystery Jets, Ra Ra Riot appeared more than once. To some extent, this shows the quality of the album, or how really influential their music was (to me) in 2010. Some came close to appearing twice, such as Sarah Harmer and Plain White T's. They would've been if this is a Top 25 best songs list. hehehhee...
Anyway, congrats Lesley Meguid! Your track reached the top. It was really hard to select between your 'Love' track, Natasha Beddingfield's 'No Mozart', and Mystery Jets' 'Serotonin'. For a time I thought Serotonin would go to first easily because I loved it so much back in August to October. But then their lower production quality forced me to drop them down to 3rd place.
Serotonin album was probably the best album for me in 2010, personally. Very influential despite their limitations. I've managed to get the musical message they wanted to send out, which most people did not, because many of my friends would only consider them as another Killer-wannabes. Dude, I didn't even like The Killers. Sarah Harmer did a great great job with Oh Little Fire album, also brilliant! But Natasha Beddingfield's Strip Me is just a magical genius work, it's just so hard not to love this, even for me who is quite indifferent for this music genre.
