#9. On The Metro by Girls Aloud

*not here for Nadine

Girls Aloud returned this year to celebrate 10 years of an incredible career with their new greatest hits, Ten, I was a little disappointed with Something New, the song is good but so mediocre compared some of her gems (such as Biology, Can't Speak French and Call The Shots), but I was quickly won over when On The Metro leaked, this masterpiece with an outstanding produciton was written by Nicola herself (probably the only one that actually cares about writting - still love Cheryl and still hate Nadine), the song received acclaim from both critics and fans, a genius composition.

#8. Flower by Kylie Minogue


Kylie Minogue also returned this year, ironically to celebrate 25 years of a incomparable career. Giving fans many many gifts one of them was a Greatest Hits, a quite creative one. Kylie re-recorded some of her biggests hits to do an orchestral and flawless compilation.
Flower was released as the compilation album's lead single. Lyrically the song talks about how important motherhood is to Kylie and how it's one of her biggest wishes, from amazing lyrics, to an amazing production and an incredible simple but amazing video, Kylie proved, once again, that her astonishing career remains superior then all the current pop girls. I think this is one of the best ballads of the decade, it's shocking how touching it is.
