Here we go, friends! It's time for part 4, the singles from
FALL that took us through the end of the year.

Weezer and the
Jackass crew together, with a song called "Memories"? There's nostalgia everywhere.
Jackass, continued. You know why Karen O. is the best? Just the best? This right here is the reason.

Even more Sky Ferreira; the last appearance for 2010. Let's hope we see the release of an album in 2011.
Tonight I'm gonna smack a bitch. Sometimes you gotta tell it like it is, and Kimberly Cole does just that.

It's called Just Kait because she does it all. Vocals, guitar, bass, drums. She's her own one-woman band.

The spark and soul of
Rockferry is nowhere to be found on
Endlessly, but oh well, can't win 'em all.

I don't know anything about Anna Rose except I stumbled upon "Picture" and it's great. There you go!

Sarah Harmer and Neko Case together on one song? That's a Canadian powerhouse. Doesn't get better.

Let's face it, Marnie Stern is crazy, but in the best ways. The guitar work on "For Ash" will blow your mind.

BANG BANG BANG. What's that? "Get Some" is here. Lykke Li is great; "Get Some" is
ridiculous.

Something was off about
Loud compared to Rihanna's previous efforts, but "Only Girl" still lit up the fall.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-ok.gif)
How is it that these guys never run out of great ideas for their music videos? Keeping the genre alive.

"We No Speak Americano" is a repetitive, infectious, brilliant piece of work that inhabits your brain.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-mumford.gif)
The first time I heard it, I thought, wait, I'm listening to the pop station? The next week, I was addicted.

Quite the innovative ensemble. This track reminds me a lot of the "Oompa Loompa" song, no joke.

Not content with just
Animal (to come on my top 40), Ke$ha returned to take over the fall with this one.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-kelly.gif)
Probably the most underrated dance-pop track of the year. Kelly Rowland
brings it in the best ways.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-pink.gif)
"Raise Your Glass" is the feel-good pop anthem for the rest of us: Just be yourself, unapologetically.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-willow.gif)
Who would've thought Will Smith's daughter would start to take over the world at only 9 or 10 years old?
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-dum.gif)
Dum Dum Girls are indie noise-ish pop from California. This track will get you hooked in one listen.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-shad.gif)
Canadian hip-hop at its finest. "We, Myself And I" sounds like a bunch of different genres in a blender.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-james.gif)
James Blake recorded a chilling dubstep take on Feist's 2007 masterpiece, and it works pretty well.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-nelly.gif)
Nelly is still around? Who would've thought? "Just A Dream" is pretty generic, but I liked it anyway.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-downtown.gif)
It's the kind of no-nonsense '00s power pop that I liked 8 years ago, except it's 2010 and it's a new band.
A Year Without Rain didn't make my top 40 albums, but Selena is still a resilient new force in pop.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-lights2.gif)
LIGHTS returned again (after her acoustic EP) with this charming single that would make anyone smile.
![](http://tylerc.com/records/images/bestof2010/single-lonely.gif)
The Lonely Island somehow topped themselves in terms of silliness. No better way to send off 2010!
![](http://tylerc.com/onmusic/images/bestof2010/next.gif)
Well, that's it! Except of course for the entirety of my top 40 albums of 2010, which is still to come.
