Top 50 Singles of 2010: 25-21
25. Gravitonas - Kites
Alexander Bard’s new band’s first single proved to be their best--a slowly building electro-rock grind that becomes more immense with each passing second.
24. Ola Svensson - All Over The World
He came back this year with two tracks worthy of standing beside his best work. This easily could have been the Summer’s anthem had it been released sooner.
23. Hurts - Better Than Love
I’ve known of this song for a couple of years now in its original demo form and it was such a treat to hear it as a single in 2010. This is the kind of uptempo track Hurts should be releasing more of.
22. Short Stack - We Dance To A Different Disco, Honey
I was skeptical that Planets was a one-off and these guys would revert back to their old, annoying sound, but then this came out and blew me away. A brilliant example of radio alt-rock at its best.
21. Ola Svensson - Unstoppable (The Return Of Natalie)
My favorite entry in this year's Melodifestivalen, delivered by one of the most consistent popstars in Sweden. The piano riff is absolutely insidious. But it’s that chorus that seals the deal.

i've not commented on every post, but i'm religiously reading every word and loving it. Such a brilliant and insightful review of the year (biggest thing this blog has done - made me rethink Bjorn on my top albums of the year countdown! Listened twice yesterday and discovered hidden nuances...)
