TOP SONGS OF 2010:#1 BRANDON FLOWERS: CROSSFIRE

5/5. As Flowers looked to grow as a solo artist all he needed was a Killer song. The Las Vegas bands frontman has a penchant for writing catchy, big hits and caught between no band and his reputation Flowers shot out with 'Crossfire'. This big hit was one of Brandon's most memorable and best records to date. Although it was a shame to see him without 'The Killers' it was great to see him alive on his own. The uplifting song also had a made for the movies, big video, with Hollywood starlet Charlize Theron kicking ass and saving Brandon's. This hit took a lot of beating however, lyrically and vocally tough from every verse to the last epic hook. Between grand guitar and supreme singing, 'Crossfire' shot down all doubt and competition. It was also a damn good song, making it 'AMP's & 808's' song of the year. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

TOP SONGS OF 2010:#2 B.O.B: NOTHIN' ON YOU Featuring BRUNO MARS

5/5. With a sizzling, Summer sensation, the single 'Nothin' On You' made everything out of nobodies, B.O.B and Bruno Mars. Now isn't that something? This instantly catchy number hit big in more ways then one. First it claimed the top of the charts, then it claimed Bobby Rays place in the pop and rap game. The duo didn't waste anybodies time with a song loved by beautiful girls, all over the world. It also made everyones Summer playlist and Bruno Mars a sought after feature artist that everbody wanted on their song. With a great original video this first single made a number one impression. B.O.B became a pop and rap star and Bruno Mars a 'Billionaire'. 'Nothin' On You' gave us everything, a great rap and R&B crossover with plenty of guitar and pop sensibilities. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

TOP SONGS OF 2010:#3 CEE-LO GREEN: F*** YOU

5/5. Forget the radio version, but then again the airplay of one of the biggest hits this year allowed this soul sensation to be loved by young and old. Even the flashback video took us back with classic images of American Diner's through the ages. Cee-Lo took a gamble with 'F*** You' but it paid off in sales and record plays. Taking you back to his youth and old soul, Mr. Gnarls Barkley took the Bruno Mars penned lyrics and turned it into one the years most catchiest song putting a middle finger up at the competition. Pure pop, with a twist soul. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

TOP SONGS OF 2010:#4 EMINEM-NO LOVE Featuring. LIL' WAYNE

5/5. "I'm alive again/more alive than I've ever been in my whole life", EM's opening lyrics say it all. 'Not Afraid' started it off and everyone loved the top selling, big Rhianna duet 'Love The Way You Lie' (as did we) but Eminem's best moment in his 'Recovery' came when he gave 'No Love' with Lil' Wayne. After the two most individual, dynamic rappers around hit big on Waynes 'Drop The World' they teamed up again before Eminem's record release and Weezy's imprisonment. With Wayne facing a year behind bars and Em' relapsing both M.C.s had their backs against the wall. Still the competition, haters and the charts forgot that these rappers also had something else in common, that this is when their at their best. With two great verses the pair reclaimed their pride and position all at the same time. Wayne set it off perfectly and Em' ended it all with perfect execution so good that Wayne even got his Diddy on, ad-libbing along like the perfect fan. The song even took a Haddaway sample, that is synonymous with a famous, hilarious Will Ferrell 'Saturday Night Live' skit and still everything worked perfectly. 'What Is Love'? Two top M.C.'s on the top of their game. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

TOP SONGS OF 2010:#5 DRAKE: FIND YOUR LOVE

5/5. Drake arguably has had one of the best influences on the urban music scene over the last few years. From great mixtapes to awesome guest spots and limitless hype, Drizzy Drakes anticipation was huge. All he needed now was that one hit single to fulfil all the promise. With an album full of hot records he had a lot of choice. 'Over' was a nice street single but the M.C. from Toronto needed that one song that would cross him over to the pop mainstream. That was discovered with 'Find Your Love' a catchy love song with underground and chart potential. Behind Kanye's freshly, raw beat Drake displayed his singing talents but didn't compromise with a hip-hop esque flow. Drake's second single helped him achieve a first place status. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

TOP SONGS OF 2010:#6 KANYE WEST-MONSTER Featuring. JAY-Z, RICK ROSS, NICKI MINAJ & BON IVER

5/5. This guy had so many classics on his album, 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' and his free 'G.O.O.D Friday' giveaways that he could fill t is list twice over. Still however because there have been so many great records here the rule is one record per artist. So our choice for Kanye is 'Monster', possibly the greatest...and strangest posse cuts of recent years. I mean folk singer Bon Iver is on it, but he holds his own, as does everybody else... and boy do they. Rick Ross provides the perfect intro, leaving you fiending for more bars. Then Kanye and Jay-Z give them to you, as they don't disappoint with their brilliant verses. Still even they pale in comparison to Nicki Minaj, the guest artist and guest rap of the year. This may as well be her song as she owns it with her incredibly retarded, kinetic, shockingly superior verse. The lines, "Pull up in the monster/Automobile gangster/With a bad b**** that came from Sri Lanka/Yeah I’m in that Tonka, colour of Willy Wonka/You could be the King but watch the Queen conquer/Ok first things first I’ll eat your brains/Then I’mma start rocking gold teeth and fangs", is just the tip of the coldest, iceberg flow ever. Truly a creature on a different level, truly a monster. TIM DAVID HARVEY.

TOP SONGS OF 2010:#7 R. KELLY: WHEN A WOMAN LOVES

5/5. No longer a flirt in love with a stripper or his hair braider the R. Matured and went back to his hits of old and even further back to the good ol'days of soul. With the classic 'When A Woman Loves', Kelz dropped his best in years and one of his finest classics. From the big intro to the bravado vocals at the end this was an epic song with a difference. 'When A Woman Loves' was a traditional, soul love song that in the days of Gaga's and auto tunes isn't really commercially viable. Still it sold and hit big, even for a man who's popularity and sales weren't at his best. Kelz is back on the top proving his power and his legend but most of all the fact that good music is still appreciated by the new generation. TIM DAVID HARVEY.
