OMG (FEAT. WILL.I.AM) - USHER
This year Usher tried his hand at pop music. The result......a smash hit that was overplayed by radio. I was addicted to this song earlier this year, but having heard it over 1,000 times, I refuse to listen to it again for a while. The chorus is inescapable. Just thinking about it now..I already have it stuck in my head. ugh.. *goes to listen*

GRENADE - BRUNO MARS
Bruno KILLED this. My favourite part is "if my body was on fire..oooh you'd watch me burn down in flames....you said you love me your a liar cuz you never *smash piano keys* ever. *smash piano keys* ever. *smash piano keys* did babyy... *piano solo* but darlin i'd still catch a grenade for yaAA!"
Thats my favorite part too (and "maddd woman, baddd women" in the second verse)
WHAT'S MY NAME? (FEAT. DRAKE) - RIHANNA
I can't remember my initial reaction to this song, but I;ve been playing it a lot recently. On the surface it seems like an innocent fun pop song, but dig deeper and Rihanna sounds like a freak lol asking the dude to scream her name. oh and Drake thinks he's slick "square root of 69 is ATE something"...
FALL FOR YOUR TYPE (FEAT. DRAKE) - JAMIE FOXX
Once again Jamie Foxx jacks the sound from a popular R&B/Hip-Hop song for one of his singles. Blame It = T-Pain, Just Like Me = Mariah's 'Touch My Body' and this reminds me of the sound of another collaboration Drake was on earlier this year. Hint: It's coming up on the list soon. The demo completely sung by Drake leaked a while back. I like Jamie's version better.
THERE GOES MY BABY - USHER
My fav single of Raymond V. Raymond. Usher takes us back with this old-school R&B jam.
TEENAGE DREAM - KATY PERRY
Thank you to whoever produced this. One of the best pop instrumentals since Bad Romance.
NOTHIN' ON YOU (FEAT. BRUNO MARS) - B.O.B
I think I heard this back in January. I had no clue who B.o.B was and had no idea he'd become one of my fav new artists of the year. "baby you the whole package, plus you pay your taxes!"
GOTTEN (FEAT. ADAM LEVINE) - SLASH
This is WAY better than anything Maroon 5 released this year. Really sad song.
10 SECONDS - JAZMINE SULLIVAN
Jazmine sounded like she wanted to KILL + BURY SOMEBODY on this song lol Bust Your Windows is tame in comparison. "You know I ain’t mad for nothing. I called my momma, she called up my cousins and THEY. AIN'T. NE-VER. LIKED. YOU. FROM. THE. BEGINNING..."
UN-THINKABLE (I'M READY) - ALICIA KEYS
Alicia delivered on this one. One of my favorite songs from her and my most played track of 2010. Anyone who's ever been kinda nervous about entering a relationship can relate. Hopefully on the next album Alicia returns to a more R&B/Hip-Hop sound. That's where she shines.
