1. if It Makes You Happy – Sheryl Crow – One of the catchiest, most miserable songs you'll ever hear and Sheryl never came within a million miles of this again (well, her Dylan cover on "Mississippi" but otherwise…"
2. Energy – Superheavy – I'll have more to say about the album later, meanwhile this is pretty good once Jagger takes it over and rolls over it like a roaring train.
3. The Lady Is A Tramp – Lady Gaga – Not merely her greatest recorded moment of the year but also, the second best song on Bennett's album.
4. Not Fade Away – Grateful Dead – At Wembley in 1972, Garcia is superb, pure melody as he improvises and the rest of the band captures the chugalug rhythm perfectly. makes mincemeat of all the crappy Holly covers we've been listening to this year.
5. TMZ – "Weird Al" Yankovic – A parody of "You Belong To Me" , so not only is it a blast of pop but also avery funny and accurate take on the paparrazi. Best line: "You just picked up some transvestite, seconds later it's up on the website".
6. Polish Girl – Neon Indian – A little 2010 but not bad.
7. Dangerous Firebeatz Remix – James Blunt – Not bad but it distorts Blunt's original just about completely.
8. Time Travel – Never Shout Never – The lad is so sincere I'd like to strangle him.
9. Get Your Cha On – Hot Boy Hoffa
10. All Night Long – Demi Lovato
