Interesting choices!

A couple minor issues:
– I like that Britney charted so high (#3 “Til the World Ends”) but I think that “I Wanna Go” was a superior track.
– I think “Countdown” was way too high (it shouldn’t have even been on the list)
– I know Adele appears at #1 (with “Rolling in the Deep”) and #29 (with “Rumour Has It”) but “Someone Like You” deserves to be somewhere. It’s my #1 for the year.December 8, 2011 at 7:59 am #377584I always enjoy Rolling Stone magazine’s year-end lists. There are usually a lot of titles I haven’t heard, but when I give them a listen, I quite enjoy them.
I am surprised “Pumped Up Kicks” didn’t make the top ten though. That would be my #1 pick of the year.

It’s such a sentimental audience favorite, but I can see why critics would turn their nose up. It’s the “I Will Always Love You”/”We Belong Together” factor. It’s just not very edgy.

They can’t included all of them. SLY is definitely a critical favorite.

There are some others that slipped my mind, and I’m confident it will make a few more as more lists roll in due to the critical love it received early on.

Britney, Gaga, and Beyonce are all in the top 10. Wow. Not that it’s undeserved, but just very surprising. Oh, and “Rolling In The Deep” was released in 2010. Sorry Rolling Stone. That’s why it’s not on my list, and it shouldn’t be on yours.
Has Miranda Lambert released “Mama’s Broken Heart” as her second single? I must have missed that.
