2011: My Top 50 Songs (50-41)
I’ve barely used Tumblr since I posted my singles list last year, but it’s always great to keep a personal record of one’s favourite songs because you can guarantee there’ll be at least 50 more to obsess over next year.
As always with these things the ‘rules’ and such of singles in ambiguous at best, so I’ve picked what I consider to be songs promoted by the artist in 2011.
I have narrowed it down to 50 songs and these are them, starting with 50 down to 41:
50. ’Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall’ - Coldplay
A really good song to kick things off.
49. ’She Makes Me Wanna’ - JLS
This is basically RedOne by numbers (and those numbers are 3-0-0-0-0 with a pound sign in front) but this is one of their most enjoyable offerings.
48. ’Kicking and Screaming’ - Oh My!
I MEAN IT I MEAN IT I MEAN IT…when I say I like this song.
47. ’Think About It’ - Melanie C
Our Mel doesn’t really have a good track record for picking the best songs for singles, but while this one doesn’t necessarily represent the album’s sound, it’s damn catchy and certainly one of her best releases.
46. ’What The Hell’ - Avril Lavigne
I prefer Avril when she’s near making me weep, but when she does fun she does it right.
45. ’Wet’ - Nicole Scherzinger
She wants to rip her clothes off, take a leap and surf through the crowd. And so I do when I listen to this. +1 Scherzy.
44. ’Perfume’ - Parade
There’s so much potential in this girl group it’s unreal. Unfortunately not so much in their material, although I did find this one particularly addictive.
43. ’Nova’ - The Sound of Arrows
Epic.
42. ’Super Bass’ - Nicki Minaj
I can’t say I paid too much attention to this until Little Mix performed it on The X Factor, but that chorus is undeniably good.
41. ’Paradise’ - Coldplay
Euphoric singalong moment makes song great.
Coming soon: 40-31
