Since I first heard them this year, these songs have stuck with me.

Some have found a place close to my heart, others are excellent examples (I think) of well-crafted pop, and others are simply sick mash-ups!

I seem to have an increased number of Hip-Hop or 'Urban' favourites in 2010. I think it's because I spent a few months living in a shack in the country and needed something for contrast.

Whatever the reasons, I dig these tunes and hope you do as well.

Enjoy!
