- Initially sluggish to climb the chart, Dancing On My Own eventually made a 15-1 jump to the top

- Depsite the challenge of living up to the massive acclaim of the "Robyn" era, the single version really drew me into the song, and has thus far been the highlight single of Body Talk series

16 New Politics: Yeah Yeah Yeah (Peak: 2 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9653/newpolitics.jpg

 

 

- Yeah Yeah Yeah quickly went to #1 for 2 weeks & spent 9 weeks in the Top 10

- Danish alternative/rockers New Politics made a name for themselves the US in 2010 and this breakthrough single helped bring "alternative" back to modern rock radio

15 Mumford & Sons: Little Lion Man (Peak: 1 week @ #1)

 

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/6155/mumfordandsons.jpg

 

 

- Little Lion Man had the most irratic chart run of 2010; it was a #1, spent only 3 weeks in the Top 10, but spent endless weeks between 11-30

- Not catching onto this folk-rock song until it's US release in Summer 2010, there's no denying that these guys are incredible musicians who deserve everything they have coming to them

14 Amy Macdonald: Don't Tell Me That It's Over (Peak: 1 week @ #1)

 

http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6673/amymacdonald1.jpg

 

 

- Don't Tell Me That It's Over, took down the mighty Hollywood for a single week for #1 & spent 10 weeks in the Top 10

- Taking a more anthemic approach to her new single, Amy proved she's more than an overnight success, by storming the charts in continental Europe with her lastest effort

13 Katy Perry: Teenage Dream (Peak: 5 weeks @ #2)

- Teenage Dream had the "Bad Romance" syndrome, by spending 5 weeks at #2

- A more return to form, a la Hot N Cold, Teenage Dream continued Katy's string of hits, who's yet to miss the Top 10 & claims victory as the artist with the most entries (5) in the Top 100 of 2010

12 Amy Macdonald: Spark (Peak: 2 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6825/amymacdonald.jpg

 

 

- Spark spent an incredible 16 weeks in the Top 15, after initally going to #1 for 2 weeks

- Continuing her string of strong singles, Spark was the perfect Hot AC hit of the year, even though it was overlooked by most playlists

11 Arcade Fire: We Used To Wait (Peak: 3 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8386/arcadefire.jpg

 

 

- We Used To Wait spent 3 weeks at #1 & 8 weeks in the Top 10

- Nearly anything Arcade Fire produces has the highest acclaim you can imagine & We Used To Wait was an excellent return for the group who cannot do anything wrong muscially

The Blues track I really love it, I guess it was the same for me, Nina Persson attracted me to it, the track just fell all into place, I know the track is a bit long, but it just grows on you I never get bored with it.

 

I comment on the rest of the chart when you finally have the top 100.

10 Alanis Morissette: Wunderkind (Peak: 2 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/744/alanisc.jpg

 

 

- Wunderkind became the 1st song to ever debut at #1

- Apart of the Narina soundtrack in late 2005, I had never heard this song prior to Alanis singing it at the 2010 Winter Olympics; one of the best singer-songwriters of the past 20 years, she continues to blossom

09 Mark Ronson & The Business Intl: Somebody To Love Me (Peak: 4 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/3871/marky.png

 

 

- Somebody To Love Me spent 4 weeks at #1 & currently still sits in the Top 10 on the weekly chart

- 3rd single from Record Collection, this song was always the stand out track that needed to be released; amazing duo vocals from Boy George & Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow

Edited December 31, 201014 yr by West

08 The Courteeners: You Overdid It Doll (Peak: 2 weeks @ #2)

 

http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/1508/thecourteeners.jpg

 

 

- You Overdid It Doll spent 2 weeks at #1 & 11 weeks in the Top 15

- Before 2010, I had never heard of The Courteeners, but after this brilliant song they made a big impact on me musically this past year; they were fortunate enough to have a Top 40 song in a year where alternative didn't chart

07 Shirley Manson: Pretty Horses (Peak: 5 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/3744/shirleyo.jpg

 

 

- Pretty Horses debuted at #1 & spent 10 weeks in the Top 10

- A track from Shirley's solo album that will never see the light of day, Pretty Horses is one of the best dark ballads I've heard in years; here's to hoping Garbage makes a return

06 Metric: Eclipse (All Yours) (Peak: #3)

 

http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/5949/metric.jpg

 

 

- Eclipse (All Yours) spent 8 weeks in the Top 10; Gimme Sympathy was the #1 song of 2009

- Used for the Twilight: Eclipse soundtrack, Metric continues to produce top notch modern rock music; maybe someday they'll get the recognition they duly desereve

05 Crystal Castles f/ Robert Smith: Not In Love (Peak: 3 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/6515/crystalcastlesh.jpg

 

 

- Not In Love spent 3 weeks at #1, 7 weeks in the Top 5 & currently still at #1

- A reworked track to include The Cure's Robert Smith, Not In Love is modern electro-pop infused with an 80's legend; an incredible song that rivals some of the best from The Cure's catalogue

04 Vampire Weekend: Giving Up The Gun (Peak: #2)

 

http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/3824/vampireweekendl.jpg

 

 

- Giving Up The Gun peaked at #2 & spent 9 weeks in the Top 10

- 2nd single from their sophomore album Contra, Giving Up The Gun is a straight-ahead pop/rock song, a more refined sound than previous before; nonetheless it's Vampire Weekend at its best

03 Marina and The Diamonds: Hollywood (Peak: 6 n/c weeks @ #1)

 

http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4338/marina1a.png

 

 

- Hollywood spent 6 weeks at #1, 10 weeks in the Top 2 & 15 weeks in the Top 10, all current records

- The breakthrough single for Marina, Hollywood was universally loved & adored, it's the type of pop song that only comes around every so often; smart, witty & fun

02 Mike Posner: Cooler Than Me (Peak: 2 weeks @ #1)

 

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/5677/mikeposner.jpg

 

 

- Cooler Than Me spent 2 weeks at #1, 14 weeks in the Top 10 & 27 weeks on the chart

- This song took me by surprise, an electro-pop infusion of R&B, Cooler Than Me is perfect, something that Jason Derulo, Usher, etc. can never seem to do right

Edited December 31, 201014 yr by West

01 Marina and The Diamonds: Oh No! (Peak: 3 n/c weeks @ #1)

 

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/7766/marinado.jpg

 

 

- Oh No! took 18 weeks to reach #1 from it's initial debut, 8 weeks in the Top 10

- The stand out track from The Family Jewels, Oh No! was the song of the year for me, even before it became a single; Marina is everything right with pop music!

Edited December 31, 201014 yr by West

I found Hollywood the best of all Marina's track she released last year, Hollywood is just catchy with the catchy chorus.

I'm surprised Crystal Castles/Robert Smith finished top 5 for you in the year to date, when the track is only been released for the past month :o

I failed to chart an Arcade Fire track in my year to date chart, probably because I got bored with their album too quickly.

 

Great chart overall.
