40. Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous
The best hip-hop duet of the year… this was Timbaland's triumph.

39. Razorlight - America
Aching Springstein-ian ballad… hold your lighters up and just give in.

38. Sparks - Dick Around
Continually inventive, overblown opera about doing nothing... Freddie Mercury would be proud.

37. Persephone’s Bees - Nice Day
Swirling throwback with enormous chorus… too joyous for pop radio.

36. Pink - Who Knew
Her most convincing artistic rebound since Missundaztood... a timeless lovelorn trifle.
