Welcome to tcatron565's (yours truly) Best of 2010 thread! I would like to first off, welcome you all, and let you know how glad I am that somebody cares enough about me to see what I thought of the year 2010. This year, I have three different charts going on. The first chart is my top 100 most played songs of 2010. The second chart is my top 50 most plated artists of 2010. The third chart is my top purchased albums of 2010. All data is collected from December 1, 2009 through November 30, 2010.

If you didn't read my blog post earlier, then you don't know about my new addition to my Best Of this year that could possibly revolutionize the Best Ofs entirely!

For the first time ever, YOU get to choose something on my Best of 2010 list. In addition to my Top 100 Most Played Songs of the Year, Top 50 Most Played Artists of the Year, Top Purchased Albums of the Year, and A Year in Review sections, there will also be a section where YOU PM me songs that I've never heard before. On the very last day, before revealing my number ones, I will reveal which songs I loved, liked, disliked, and hated out of the songs you sent in! How do you know if I've heard the song before. Well, chances are that if it's not in my Last.fm library, then I've probably never heard it before, or I've heard it and don't like it. (As far as modern music goes, anyway.) To find a song in my Last.fm library, just use this link: http://www.last.fm/user/tcatron565/l...y%2B%2526%2BAJ

Replace the Aly%2B%2526%2BAJ part with the artist's name and see if the song is listed below, or even if the artist is even in my library.

So get to thinking about what new music you want me to check out. I'm open to ANYTHING!

So, let's get this ball rolling. Before I start the charts, I want to post the honorable mentions. These songs and artists did not make it onto my chart this year, but came really, really close, so that's why they deserve to be at least mentioned.


So be prepared, everybody. The charts start soon!

Top 100 Most Played Songs of 2010
Powered by

100. Lady Antebellum "American Honey"

Lady Antebellum hit it big this year when they scored their first crossover hit, "Need You Now," which will appear later on my chart. Their second single from their sophomore album, "American Honey," is a strong country song. Usually, those types of songs I don't really get into, but the lyrics of this song are fantastic! Everytime I hear this song, it brings me back to the time when I was just a little boy hanging out with my cousins in the dark summer nights, and with my friends in those fun school days when I didn't have a care in the world! God, how I miss those days.

099. Nicki Minaj "Your Love"

I've never really been a fan of Nicki Minaj. In fact, I find her rather annoying, but this song definitely caught my eye. Instead of Minaj moving like a spastic robot and singing like she's in pain, she moves swiftly in this song, and sounds pretty cool. I wish she would do more songs like this. I also love the production on this song. It's perfect!

50. Leona Lewis

Leona's latest era was sadly not as good as her debut era in terms of success. This year, Leona's plays come from mostly plays of her old hits, but one song did stand out this year. "I Got You" definitely deserved Leona Lewis this spot! Such a beautiful song. That along with her epic "Bleeding Love" places Leona at number 50 this year.
