1. Default Picture – T-Pain – It is now official, he is the only person in the world allowed to use auto-tune. This is T-Pain at his poppy best only waiting for Justin Timberlake on the remix.

2. Abba Zabba – Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band – From a 1974 London concert, and what's he saying? "The Big Baboo"?

3. Our Day Will Come – Amy Winehouse – Modified reggae 50s pop ballad.

4. An Angel On Each Arm – Robin Thicke – Blue eyed soul boy with hip hop production values, doing what he does best.

5. Sleep – The Roots – Weird, off kilter, like TV On The Radio covered by, well, TV On The Radio, plus a rap!

6. The A Team – Ed Sheeran – And so the question remains, will he break Stateside? I honestly don't see how he can miss.

7. Don't Kick The Chair – Dia Frampton – That's Kid Cudi doing the rap, and this is excellent pop music. Not dance pop, which you might figure, but high strung pure pop.

8. When Christmas Comes – Mariah Carey and John Legend – They can't wait to unwrap your love.

9. Crossed Out Name – Ryan Adam – One of the saddest songs he has ever written.

10. I Found A Dream – Marilyn Monroe
