80. Kelly Clarkson - Long Shot
This was the track I was at first addicted to when I got the
All I Ever Wanted album. Who wouldn't love it? It's fun, it's catchy, it's just so dang cool! Plus, it was written by Katy Perry!
79. P!nk - Please Don't Leave Me

I love P!nk. She's raw, she's talented, and she speaks her mind. I never really liked "Please Don't Leave Me." It was nice and all, but I loved other tracks from
Funhouse a whole lot more. However, the kick ass video to this song made me play it non-stop for a while there. The video plays on scenes from
The Shining and
Misery, two fantastic Stephen King books/films.
78. Linkin Park - New Divide
Never been a huge Linkin Park fan, but there are a few songs of their I like, and this is obviously one of them. The breakdown in the middle of the song is epic and the video is awesome!
77. Amanda Blank - Might Like You Better
Alternative pop at its best! It's so fun and catchy, and who cares hoe much her voice is altered in the song, it's still cool! Actually, it's what makes the song! I was addicted to this after trying it out on the AllAccess list of Cool New Music. Too bad it never took off.
76. Thriving Ivory - Angels on the Moon
This track just engulfs me and it's amazing, despite the guy's weird voice. I was surprised at how well it did in my area, yet it wasn't that big of a hit nationwide. Sad.
75. Jessie James - Blue Jeans
This song is on fire! Easily my favorite track from an amazingly solid debut album from this girl. Some times simplicity is the key, and here it is proven. All it is is her voice, a banjo, a slight drum riff, and some guitars, yet it makes up an amazing song!
74. Uncle Kracker - Smile

The ultimate feel good track of the year, which looks to follow the tracks of "I'm Yours" in 2010. It's nice to hear Uncle again. You guys remember his two mega hits "Follow Me" and the cover of "Drift Away," right? Well if you don't, listen to them again! "Smile" just makes you feel good and, well, makes you want to smile.
73. The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name
A cheer leader beat, repetitive lyrics, what could go wrong? This was a nice breath of fresh air on pop radio this summer as it peaked inside the top 20, and I'm glad The Ting Tings were finally able to crack 100% into the U.S. Let's hope it continues.
72. Rihanna - Russian Roulette
WOW! Rihanna makes a fantastic comeback with her single, "Russian Roulette." The instrumental is soothing, disturbing, beautiful, and scary all at the same time! Her vocals have never been better. The lyrics are amazing, and the gun shot at the end, EPIC! It sucks to know that it stalled before entering the top 20!
71. Brtiney Spears - If U Seek Amy
Britney Spears. Yet again she makes at entry. This time with her controversial "If U Seek Amy," which was estimated to start so much controversy, that it would hit number one just off of that hype. But, there wasn't that much controversy. Sure there was at first, but once it took off, the whole F.U.C.K. Me thing just slowly died away. It was still a hit, and a pretty fun one too!
Let's get to the artists!
80. Orianthi
Like I said before, this girl has some MAD guitar skills! She rocks! Jam to just one of her songs, and you'll know what I'm talking about.
79. Marion Raven
Like I said, I first discovered her this year and I really like her. I hope she can one day do something with her solo career.
78. Kris Allen
The winner of this year's
American Idol. He's pretty good, I admit. Should he have won? Well, in that final two most definitely, but the best people of the year were already voted off by the idiot voters who don't know the difference between a good singer and someone who looks good. He has some good tunes and his album is on my Christmas list.
77. Linkin Park
"New Divide" counts for about 85% of the reason why they're listed here. The rest comes from what little spins they got from earlier music. Anyone got "Numb" by the way? I can't seem to find a solo version of it. All I keep finding it the crappy mash up with Jay-Z's "Encore." "Numb" by itself is epic, and if you have it, please pass it along to me, thanks!!!!!
76. LeToya
Swing batta batta batta! Swing batta batta batta! Right ata batta batta! Right ata batta batta!
75. Vanessa Hudgens
She went way down of my list this year. Haven't really wanted to play her much this year. Most of her plays came from "Amazed" with Lil Mama.
74. Thriving Ivory
They get up here on almost all of "Angels on the Moon"'s power! Great job, guys.
73. Michael Jackson
Let's all remember the King of Pop. After his too early death in June, everyone, including me, was playing some of hits.
72. Priscilla Renea
Her voice is really good, I must say! She's very promising! I hope her debut album is really good to go along with her single, "Dollhouse," which I love!
71. Jessica Jarrell
What a fantastic voice at only the age of 14!
She's got really great productions and it looks like she's an artist to watch next year.
I'll do another album review, plus we'll begin looking at 2009's movie released, all coming up soon!
Although, I'm probably gonna be owning one soon.
