Top 50 Songs of 2011!

It’s that time of year that I post my Top 50 songs of 2011.  This is now the third year in a row that I’ve posted one of these lists, which I personally think is pretty cool.

In 2008 it was Leona Lewis with Bleeding Love; Taylor Swift’s You Belong With Me stole the show in 2009 and in 2010 Hey Soul Sister by Train came out at top.  But from the plethora of amazing songs released in 2011, which one will come out top this year?  Will it be Adele, who completely dominated the albums and singles charts with her songs full of emotion?  What about Katy Perry, who is currently vying for an unprecedented sixth straight #1 on the US Charts from the one album?  Or perhaps Lady Gaga will come out on top this year with a song from her latest album, released in May?  There’s only one way to find out!

Before you read on, you might like to revisit the past years and take a look at my list of the Top 50 Songs of 2009 or the Top 50 of 2010.

There’s a huge possibility that I forgot one (or more) songs from 2011 when compiling this list, however, unlike the past years, I’ve drafted and revised this list several times to try and minimise the possibility of that happening.  If, however, I did forget a rather prominent song, just assume it came in at #51.

Also, I’ve had to break up the post into several pages because if not the post would be extremely long.  It’s because I used big fonts to make the post look attractive, I guess.

Top 50 Songs of 2009!

Yo yo yo!

Yeah, someone had to do compile a list of the top 50 songs of 2009, and that someone is me [reference to Phi's old blog].

First of all, there’s a major chance I’ve forgotten some great songs that were released this year, probably because I thought they were released last year.  Forgive me.  Any missing songs…they came in at #51 =D

Just for enjoyment purposes, if this list were made last year, the top ten would probably look something like this:

10. You Found Me – The Fray

9. Just Dance – Lady Gaga

8. Sex on Fire – Kings of Leon

7. Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) – Beyonce

6. Take a Bow – Rihanna
