TOP TEN NON-SINGLES OF THE YEAR
Any unreleased track from any album from any year.
10. Boys Like Girls "Go"
• An uplifting song by Boys Like Girls. My fave next to "Two Is Better Than One."
9. Paramore "Playing God"
• Lyrics alone puts this song in the Top 10. Just purely amazing.
8. 30 Seconds To Mars feat. Kanye West "Hurricane"
• Loved it from the 30 second preview I got a few hours before the leak, loved it even more when I got to listen to the full version.
7. There For Tomorrow "Burn The Night Away"
• A very nice song from a new emerging band, I love the acoustic feel to it.
6. Green Day "American Eulogy"
• Love the intro, love the whole song! GD shouldve released this instead of EJN.
5. David Archuleta "Zero Gravity"
• This song got a good amount of airplay in the Philippines though its not really officially released. I love the bouncy beat to this song, and everytime I get to listen to it, it takes me back to the David ArchuCook concert in Manila last May.
4. Kris Allen "Send Me All Your Angels"
• I am a little upset that this didnt make it to the official album track list. This is one of those bonus tracks that deserve to be in the regular album but for some unknown reason it didnt. I loved that Kris worked with Chris Daughtry on this one and it did sounded like a Daughtry song, however, Kris delivered the song really well. It also has a great set of lyrics.
3. Lady GaGa "Speechless"
• I dont own any GaGa album but upon hearing this song on youtube, it pushed me to listen to the full "Fame Monster" album. Refreshing to hear GaGa sing this type of song.
2. Daughtry "Call Your Name"
• My most favorite from the album "Leave This Town." Daughtry just makes the song even more emotional with his style of singing. I love how this song started weak and soft, and progressed in a melodic and very passionate song.
1. Paramore "Turn It Off"
• Best song ever. I hope they get to release this song after Brick By Boring Brick. I just love the beat, the lyrics of course Hayley's voice.
