200+ Songs That I Particularly Enjoyed in 2010

Make a single music recommendation and odds are your audience won't approve, but make a few hundred and the likelihood of success increases dramatically. Just as I enjoy going through other people's lists of songs, perhaps somebody will enjoy going through this one.

The following 200+ tracks received my "green light" rating as I went through my weekly ritual of checking several European music charts every week in 2010. They were selected from what ultimately became a pool of over 5000 songs.

Many (perhaps most) big tunes from 2010 are nowhere to be found on this list (not even club smashes like Duck Sauce's "Barbra Streisand," Swedish House Mafia's "One," or Yolanda Be Cool's "We No Speak Americano," though I enjoyed those, too). There are not many American acts here, either, which should come as no surprise considering, uh, everything I do. These tracks simply stood out, one way or another, on the particular week I happened to encounter them.

Format:
