This is the final part where I count down from 10 to 1. 

10. ’Toes’ - Lights

The best rhyming of “anticipating” and “waiting” since Madonna’s last four attempts.

9. ’Don’t Hold Your Breath’ - Nicole Scherzinger

A breezy, effortless, glorious song.

8. ’I Wanna Go’ - Britney Spears

I I I WANNA GO O O ALL THE WAY EH EH back to my iTunes to play the shit out of the song. I have no words, I just want to sing every word in your face. SHAME ON ME. TO NEED RELEASE. UNCONTROLL-A-BLEE.

7. ’Notorious’ - The Saturdays

I’M AN OUTLAWR, I’M THE BIG BOSS, I’M A GANGSTER ON THE DANCEFLOOR. Look, when all you want to do is quote song lyrics that’s when you know you have run out of ideas are addicted to a song beyond all hope. An epic tour opener, this is The Saturdays done right.

6. ’Popular - Eric Saade

Also known as the song that should have been crowned winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011. I mean, where the fuck are Ell and Nikki now? CALLING THEMSELVES ELDAR AND NIGAR THAT’S WHERE. But it’s okay, I’m not bitter about this still. SMASHED GLASS. KEY CHANGE. HANDSOME CHAP. Bloody hell, Europe.

5. ’Jealousy’ - Will Young

A glorious return for Will, producing the best material so far of his ten year career. The single version was something, but the album version excelled beyond anything he’s done before. Truly beautiful.

4. ’Radioactive’ - Marina And The Diamonds

An absolute travesty that this was not a major hit, this teaser song for Marina’s upcoming second album reached #25 on the chart, 24 places lower than its right as an amazing pop song. MY. HEART. IS NU-CLEAR. LOVE. IS. ALL THAT I FEAR. Bliss.

3. ’Beat of My Drum’ - Nicola Roberts

A real case of girl (aloud) done good, the debut single from the Great Ginger One was the biggest surprise of the year for a lot of people. It may not have caught on with the general public but it had fans and critics alike creaming their pants as this new side of lil’ Nicola, the formerly shy and retiring member of Girls Aloud, shone through the chants of L! O! V! E! and Diplo beat. She basically showed Beyoncé up and not many people do that.

2. ’Judas’ - Lady Gaga

I was addicted to this song above any other this year. The pounding beats, chants of “JUDAS, JUDA-AH!” and almost indecipherable verses made this a song I NEEDED to hear again and again, if only to understand what the fuck she was going on about. Not that knowing the lyrics guarantees that with Gaga. Everything from the song to the image to the video hit the spot with me and it is absolutely my favourite Gaga song so far.

1. ’Lost Without You’ - Vanbot

I’m not completely sure why I’ve chosen this as my favourite song of 2011. I haven’t played it that much compared to others on the list. I don’t even know if it was a single. But everytime I hear it it just takes me somewhere else. It’s almost a retread of my #1 song of last year, Robyn’s ‘Dancing On My Own’, and yet it’s somehow more.

I love it.

That’s all folks!
