Top Singles, First Quarter 2010

Here are my top singles for the first quarter of 2010; I ought to have twice as many but I keep getting distracted by the Pop World Cup.*

1. Ke$ha ft. 3OH!3 "Blah Blah Blah"
2. Lloyd "Night & Day" [if it ever gets released]
3. Selena Gomez & the Scene "Naturally"
4. I Blåme Coco ft. Robyn "Caesar"
5. Martina McBride "Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong"
6. Wiley ft. Emili Sandé "Never Be Your Woman"
7. Dizzee Rascal & Florence + The Machine "You Got The Dirtee Love"
8. Didi Benami "Play With Fire"
9. Sade "Soldier Of Love"
10. Trace Adkins "Ala-Freakin-Bama"
11. Lil Wayne "Drop The World"
12. Wiley & Chew Fu "Take That"
13. Tinie Tempah "Pass Out"

In album news, I think I've listened to three new albums this year; in order of preference they are: Ke$ha Animal, Heidi Montag Superficial, Katharine McPhee Unbroken. McPhee always sings with smarts and technical capacity but connects to the material even less this time than last. I can't figure out what goes wrong with her; have the same problem with Christina Aguilera, but Kat disengages me even more.

*I recommend Portugal versus North Korea in one of the bangingest World Cup matches since El Salvador went against Honduras in the 1969 qualifiers.
