Rihanna Total Points: 280 Charted Songs: “What’s My Name” (ft. Drake) – #98 “Rude Boy” – #74 “Russian Roulette” – #44 “Love the Way You Lie” – #6 “Only Girl (In the World)” – #3 I’ve gotten into many discussions about Rihanna’s voice. It’s very…original. She has the Barbadian accent no matter what she sings, [...]

Here are five songs that I loved this year that weren’t actually hits. Most of the songs either were older hits, youtube sensations, or just catchy. I’m sure there are tons that I played non-stop this year that won’t get any recognition. A lot of Disney songs as well… …maybe I’ll take a second to [...]

Ke$ha Total Points: 240 Charted Songs: “Your Love Is My Drug” – #75 “TikTok” – #71 “My First Kiss” by 3oh!3 (ft. Ke$ha) – #68 “We R Who We R” – #36 “Take it Off” – #15 There’s something about Ke$ha that just seems dirty. Maybe it was that one time that she arrived in [...]

The Cast of Glee Total Points: 205 Charted Songs: “Like a Prayer” – #82 “Teenage Dream” – #73 “Telephone” – #62 “Don’t Stop Believing (Regionals Version)” – #49 “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” – #34 Funny that I mentioned the Lady GaGa performance of Glee and then Glee shows up…It’s odd how well a TV [...]

Here are three songs that I totally forgot about and totally loved. It was one of those slipped the brain moments when I created the list. I don’t think that any of them would have cracked the top 30, but some would have actually stirred up the top 40 maybe. There is only one song [...]

Lady GaGa Total Points: 196 Charted Songs: “Bad Romance” – #70 “Alejandro” – #28 “Telephone” (ft. Beyonce) – #9 What can I say about Lady GaGa? I love this woman. Early on, I always mentioned to Eric and various other people that Lady GaGa was the hooker version of Bjork. It kinda made sense. She [...]

Robyn Total Points: 178 Charted Songs: “Dancing on My Own” – #20 “Hang with Me” – #4 Robyn was popular back when I was a kid…like 1997. Now I knew that she kept doing music, and I recalled the song “Konichiwa Bitches” a few years back. I really didn’t expect much from her, but outta [...]

B.o.B Total Points: 173 Charted Songs: “Magic” (ft. Rivers Cuomo) – #76 “Airplanes” (ft. Hayley Williams) – #35 “Nothin on You” (Ft. Bruno Mars) – 19 I almost doubt whether or not B.o.B could produce a song by himself that I would listen to. I mean Paramore and Wheezer are very prominent bands and Bruno [...]

The Gregory Brothers Total Points: 173 Charted Songs: “The Bed Intruder Song” – #61 “I’m Not a Witch” – #47 “The Backin Up Song” – #22 You didn’t expect that I would have artists that really barely charted on the Billboard charts right? Interestingly, “The Bed Intruder Song” actually made it to #89 on Billboard’s [...]

Katy Perry Total Points: 142 Charted Songs: “California Gurls” (ft. Snoop Dogg) – #50 “Teenage Dream” – #10 Katy Perry has a decent amount of talent. She also has very supple breasts. Breasts that have caused a lot of controversy. Especially with Elmo: But to make it more interesting, they kinda reduced the size of [...]

Ne-Yo Total Points: 138 Charted Songs: “Beautiful Monster” – #57 “One in a Million” – #7 Unlike Usher, I really like Ne-Yo. Maybe it’s his whole “gentleman” persona that he exudes. Maybe it’s his Michael Jackson influences that I really like. In reality, I really like Ne-Yo’s swagger. I’ve mentioned this before (to everyone I [...]

Usher Total Points: 131 Charted Songs: “DJ Got Us Falling in Love” (ft. Pitbull) – #42 “OMG” – #29 There’s still a part of me that dislikes (and applauds) Usher for finding Justin Bieber and signing him up. I’ve always thought that usher was a bit douchey, so I never really had much to say [...]

Iyaz Total Points: 131 Charted Songs: “Pyramid” by Charice (ft. Iyaz) – #58 “Replay” – #13 It seems like every few years a pop-reggae star arrives and kind makes an impact then kinda just goes blah. Sean Kingston, Shaggy, and Sean Paul all made their impact on music and have kinda just murmured in the [...]

Pitbull Total Points: 129 Charted Songs: “DJ Got us Falling in Love” by Usher (ft. Pitbull) – #42 “I Like It” by Enrique Iglasias (ft. Pitbull) – #31 Interesting Fact? Pitbull is the highest charting artist to piggyback points this year. He really didn’t have to do much on his own this year to capture [...]

Eminem Total Points: 127 Charted Songs: “Not Afraid” – #69 “Love the Way You Lie” (ft. Rihanna) – #6 Eminem was one of those artists that I thought would slowly fade away when he decided to care for his children. I mean I’d assume that he’d show up on guest spots here and there. But [...]

Shakira Total Points: 122 Charted Songs: “Waka Waka” – #89 “Give it Up to Me” – #80 “Loca” – #12 Shakira has such a distinctive voice and after “She-Wolf” last year, she kinda had a slightly chill 2010. “Give it Up to Me” had a lot of pelvic thrusts, but it wasn’t as catchy. I [...]

Brandon Flowers Total Points: 119 Charted Songs: “Crossfire” – #59 “Only the Young” – #24 I love Brandon Flowers. He has a great voice that reminded me of Bono except Brandon Flowers is not a douche. Let’s stare at Brandon Flowers for a second: Those days when he doesn’t have that weird mustache/beard, he looks [...]

Lady Antebellum Total Points: 114 Charted Songs: “American Honey” – #83 “Need You Now” – #5 Lady Antebellum musta started the year a bit rough when they performed “Need You Now” and Hillary Scott was attacked by a curtain on the Grammys: But luckily, like a real artist, she didn’t let the curtain fall on [...]

Taio Cruz Total Points: 108 Charted Songs: “Break Your Heart” – #51 “Dynamite” – #43 I’ll admit that I’m not that familiar to Taio Cruz outside of the two songs that made my list, but if you noticed, both songs kinda just landed in the heart of the top 100 songs and just scored enough [...]

Paramore/Hayley Williams Total Points: 102 Charted Songs: “The Only Exception” – #65 “Airplanes” by B.o.B (ft. Hayley Williams) #35 Meh…I’m not really big on the band. I don’t know why. Both “Misery Business” and “That’s What You Get” are decent songs. Maybe it’s because of the connection to the Twilight films. I mean Hayley Williams’ [...]

Travie McCoy Total Points: 100 Charted Songs: “Billionaire” (ft. Bruno Mars) – #1* Travie McCoy sounded familiar to me and I couldn’t figure out why. Then I heard this again: Duh! Travie McCoy was/is the lead vocalist for Gym Class Heroes. Granted in “Cupid’s Chokehold” I remember Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy singing the [...]

Shontelle Total Points: 99 Charted Songs: “Impossible” – #2 Shontelle to me felt kinda like a one-hit wonder with “T-Shirt.” Her following songs really didn’t catch on. She disappeared after 2008. Then outta nowhere in 2010, she had a catchy song again. But then again, the rest of her songs failed again. Maybe in another [...]

Kylie Minogue Total Points: 94 Charted Songs: “All the Lovers” – #78 “Get Outta My Way” – #30 Kylie is just amazing, kinda like the Aussie version of Madonna except for the fact that she’s been aging so much better than Madonna. That and she was on ‘Vicar of Dibley’ and for that, I love [...]

Train Total Points: 93 Charted Songs: “Hey Soul Sister” – #8 “Hey Soul Sister” was this year’s “I’m Yours” with the ukulele, except for the fact that no one really could really sing the high parts. Even live Patrick Monahan couldn’t really sing the song well. Speaking of butchered, it was horribly done on ‘Dancing [...]

Beyonce Total Points: 92 Charted Songs: “Telephone” (ft. Beyonce) – Lady GaGa #9 Dear Beyonce, I like you. Your perfume commercial was a bit sexy, but good. I wasn’t a fan of “Video Phone” but your collaborations with Lady GaGa was enough to put you on my list. I don’t mind if you take a [...]

Selena Gomez Total Points: 90 Charted Songs: “Naturally” – #11 Selena Gomez gained a bit more fame for me because I had to watch the Disney Channel when I had to babysit my godmother’s daughters earlier this year. I kinda fell in love with ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ (mostly due to due to the gawky [...]

Justin Bieber Total Points: 90 Charted Songs: “Baby” – #25** , “Eenie Menie (ft. Justin Bieber)” by Sean Kingston – #87 Usher totally made a cash cow out of this Canadian kid didn’t he? I’m pretty hit or miss with Justin Bieber, I understand that teen pop stars come and go and Justin is just [...]
