30. Mark Ronson featuring Amy Winehouse - Valerie
Amy Winehouse - Back to Black/ Love is a Losing Game
29. Roisin Murphy - Overpowered/Let Me Know
28. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Me & My Imagination/Today The Sun's On Us
27. Jens Lenkman - The Opposite of Hallelujah/Joanna Newsom - Cosmia
If He Keeps Me Alive describes my "love" life, then these two songs really encapsulate something altogether more personal. And for that, I love them.
26. Arctic Monkeys - Fluorescent Adolescent
...
25. Girls Aloud - Sexy! No, No, No
Perfect. Genius. Packed full with juicy, brilliant bon mots ("From top to bottom, I'm a woman sunshine! Ain't no damn reason you'll be leaving my side!) And that intro! With all this being said, the fact that this isn't their highest ranking single (and only the tenth best song on the album) is a testament to their genius.
24. Miranda Lambert - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend/Famous in a Small Town/Gunpowder & Lead
Because I can't choose between the best country singles of the year - from the best country album of the year. But, if I was forced to choose, it would be the song bolded. Win that Grammy Mir!
23. Kanye West - Can't Tell Me Nothing/Stronger/Good Life (featuring T-Pain)
Because, again, I really cannot choose between Mr. West's amazing showcases from his best album yet? But, if I had to choose ...
22. Animal Collective - Peacebone
Solo Sugababe Quality Singles Alert!
21. Siobhan Donaghy - Don't Give It Up/So You Say
Groove Armada featuring Mutya Buena - Out of Control (Song 4 Mutya)
To think that these three perfect pop singles didn't make my top 20 just makes me all the more excited to show you all what did!
