Top 50 Singles of 2010: 35-31
35. Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart
His North American breakthrough and the first song that made me stand up and take notice of his way with hooks. Listen to the original Ludacris free version, though.
34. Goldfrapp - Rocket
The year’s best “up yours” kiss-off song, set to a synth beat with enough pep to power a spaceship. It was Summer come early.
33. Timoteij - Kom
Laughed it off originally, then backed it to win this year’s Melodifestivalen. There’s no resisting that ethno-synth stomp.
32. One Night Only - Say You Don’t Want It
A reinvention that worked wonders. It wasn’t able to be sustained through an entire album, but here it’s three and a half minutes of pop bliss.
31. Hurts - Wonderful Life
The song that represented the shift from the Daggers to the Hurts sound. Began life this year as a charming mystery of a song. Ended it as a solid hit.
