You can't go wrong with Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. "In the Sun" is one of those joyful songs that just won't leave your head.

The video alone makes me love this song even more. Last year, their song "Sweet Disposition" made my number one track of 2009. "Love Lost" didn't quite make the top ten, but it's still one of the best songs I've heard all year.

My favorite single off of Katy's Teenage Dream. There is just something likable about Katy Perry. She's definitely heading toward the right direction in her career.
11. Rihanna - Rude Boy
From the Album : Rated R 2009:MGMT - Kids 2008:Katy Perry - Hot N Cold 2007:Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats 2006:Beyonce - Irreplaceable
The video is like M.I.A. meets crack. "Rude Boy" is one of the biggest songs this summer. You can't deny the power of Rihanna.
