I know it's a bit late being May and all but I only recently joined Buzzjack. I though I'd give this a shot as 2011 was the year I turned 19, sat my A-level exams, went on one hell of a summer holiday and started uni - a year of turning points really. I'll also be taking little breaks from the countdown to show my least favourite songs of the year, favourite films, television programs and albums. So sit back and enjoy

 

65. Ed Sheeran - You Need Me, I Don't Need You

 

Ed Sheeran was deffinately one of my favourite breakout artists of 2011 so it seems only right we start off with his admittedly weakest single thus far. A favourite of mine back in September this song's title seemed somewhat appropriate as I moved out of my mum and stepdad's and into a flat with two mates. From one of my favourite albums of the year, 'You Need Me' is an in your face track about Sheeran's thoughts on the state of the music industry. There's a lot more to come from him as the countdown continues

 

 

64. Glee Cast - I Feel Pretty/Unpretty

 

Glee is one of my favourite television programmes and though they've done some terrible covers in there time (Somebody To Love by Queen comes to mind here) they're at their best when they do mash ups of songs you wouldn't dream of putting together. I was apprehensive to hear this as TLC are my favourite girlband of all-time and 'Unpretty' is my second favourite song by them (No scrubs is my favourite in case anyone was wondering) however the strong vocals of Michele mix beautifully with Argons's sweeter ones.

63. Ke$ha - The Harold Song

 

I'm not typically a Ke$ha fan and all of her other songs seem to involve getting drunk in a club but this is different. It is deffinately the most personal thing I have heard from her, a ballad about losing your true love and suceeds in showing a completely different side to her. Why this wasn't a single over the frankly terrible 'Blow' is frankly beyond me - this has hit written all over it

 

 

62. Avalanche City - Love, Love, Love

 

Ever heard of Avalanche City? Neither had I until I heard this song after a friend suggested this song to me as the video contained penguins (my favourite animals). They're an alternative band from New Zealend and after looking into their other stuff I've found this song is the only thing they've done I like. Hope you enjoy

61. Black Eyed Peas - Just Can't Get Enough

 

One of the only BEP songs post-Monkey Buisness that I like here. A welcome return to form for them though it's still very different from the kind of music they were releasing between 03 and 06 which is when they were at their best. Not much else to say really but it was nice to know they could still produce good music afte the horriffic "Time (Dirty Bit)"

 

 

 

60. Selena Gomez & The Scene - Love You Like a Love Song

 

There's nothing wrong with pop music in my book and this was one of the highlights of pop music in 2011. I knew of Selena Gomez having two younger sisters but had never heard any of her songs other than 'Natural' (which I did like) so I was pleasently surprised when I heard this song. What's more surprising is this song is the 1st song out of 3 Disney related songs in this countdown

59. Scouting for Girls - Love How It Hurts

 

I don't know what Scouting for Girls have done to deserve the hate they get from people - I've liked every single one of their singles! Even 'Elvis Aint Dead'. I love this song and found it quite relateable; most of us will have gone through the subject matter at some point in our lives. Shame this is probobaly the last we'll ever hear from them though

 

 

58. The Cast of Lemonade Mouth - Determinate

 

"WTF is this?" I hear you say, yes I'm quite preplexed as to how this made it on to my year-end chart. It's from a Disney Channel Movie called "Lemonade Mouth" (which wins the oddest film title of 2011 award) which was aired over the summer. I was lucky to go on 2 summer holidays last year; one with the family and one with my mates. The apartment I stayed in with my family had Sky and my sister was watching Disney quite a lot and this song was played constantly and to my surprise I grew to love it

 

 

And because I'm feeling critical today, here are the first 2 entries from my "Worst songs of 2011" list

 

10. JUSTIN BIEBER - MISTLETOE

 

A worst song list wouldn't be a worst song list without Bieber would it? He released this back in October and my sisters were all over it. It takes a lot for me to call something my least favourite Bieber song ever, this gladly takes the crown. Fortunately for the Biebs, the 2 songs I have heard from him so far in 2012 have taken my surprise - I don't like them but they won't be making my least favourite songs of the year for 2012

 

 

09. DAVID GUETTA - LITTLE BAD GIRL

 

This piece of generic crap is the worst thing I've heard from Guetta ever (beating the likes of 'Sexy Bitch' and 'Gettin Over You'). Luckily, the rest of his 2011 album was brilliant and he does pop up once or twice in my favourite song list

57. Lady Gaga - The Edge of Glory

 

The first of only 2 entries from Lady Gaga, I was a bit dissapointed with 'Born This Way' to be honest - it's not a bad album but she did build it up to be something spectacular and the it was something only a little above average IMO. 'The Edge of Glory' is a great pop song and the closest to any song from The Fame Monster I could find on the album, maybe my disappointment with the era came from my assumption Gaga would stay the same and the era would be the same as The Fame was. Obviously this is Gaga were talking about, I was very naive to think that

 

 

56. Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks

 

Not really much I can say about this, a good song that I liked and bought
