The lowdown: Utterly brilliant. Robyn brings both pathos and catharsis to this perfect slice of hurts-so-good dance-pop, inspired by gay disco anthems by the likes of Ultravox and Donna Summer. Instilling every line with the full extent of her painful heartbreak, Robyn still brings the song to a hopeful conclusion by dancing away her blues in an incredible outro. Co-written and co-produced by Patrik Berger, it served as the lead single from Body Talk Pt. 1, reaching #3 on the club chart and #1 in Sweden. It was a huge critical success for Robyn, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording and finishing at #3 on the 2010 Pazz 'n' Jop poll.
The vote: It was only a matter of formalities, I suppose. Despite Great Username's best efforts, "Dancing On My Own" hit #1 on the countdown by the midway point of voting and could never quite be shaken from the top spot.
Best line: "I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her/I'm right over here, why can't you see me?"

It was destined and defeated all the beasts to stay on top.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this rate! It would not have been possible without your amazing support and hilarious comments. I have had such a blast because of all of you. I hope we can do it again someday!

I'm glad she snuck under the radar though. I wouldn't mind if she won that would have been so messy after the hell she's been put through in this rate.
Congrats to Robyn - Dancing On My Own.
