Top 2010 Songs

Here is my countdown of the ten best singles this year of 2010. It was a weak year for music but there were some salvageable tracks out there though I feel that there wasn't one big monster song that I'll recall as the years anthem.

10. Hollywood by Codeine Velvet Club
This band is fronted by the singer of Fratelis. it has a groovy 1960s vibe of something like a show tune.
9. Billionaire by Travie McCoy
Bruno Mars helped out on this little ditty of a song that in some respects is exactly how I often feel. The song is actually pretty shitty but it got stuck in my head enough to warrant top ten status.
8. Tighten Up by The Black Keys
Sounds like an old blue eyed soul number but it's really just a couple of dudes from Ohio.
7. Tatooine by Jeremy Messersmith
It's a little song that's really quite sweet on the ears. The construction paper video is also really cool, simple but cool.
6. California Girls by Katy Perry
This song was everywhere this past year and made east coast girls pissed off more than usual. Snoop Dogg lends his stoned vocals to this track making it better on the comedy scale. This song also had a crazy video that made me wonder about the sanity of Mrs. Russel Brand.
 5. Die By The Drop by The Dead Weather
This one sounds like being stoned. It's another organ heavy song featuring Jack White and the chick from the Kills.
4. Modern Man by The Watson Twins
Somber and sweet. This song got no notoriety but that's why this countdown is unique.
3. Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) by My Chemical Romance
The title is kind of a joke but the song seriously makes you want to raise your fist and chant along, this song is a crowd pleaser for sure!
2. Stylo by Gorillaz
Another song with guests cracking the top ten, this time it's Mos Def and bobby Womack. The Gorillaz gave us another hypnotizing track to groove to.
1. Bed Intruder by Antoine Dodson & The Gregory Brothers 
How could there be anything better than a clip taken from the news, given a beat, ran through pitch perfect and magic! This is the modern world, this is the age we live in, this is the number one!
