#10

#10: Katy Perry – Teenage Dream
I was actually surprised to see that I listened to this song so much, but I have to believe that it is only this high because of Glee.  After the Glee version of this song came out I started listening to Katy Perry again… so that must be it.

#9

#9: Smashing Pumpkins – Freak
Obviously I have always been a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins, and now that they are making new music again I am tickled pink…or um orange!  This song really reminds me of the stuff they used to release back in the late 90′s as b-sides.  Livin’ it and lovin’ it.

#8

#8: Robyn – Time Machine
This bitch tore last year apart!  If this song had been released earlier last year it would have been way up on this list.  I love this song, and as I type I am listening to it.  If you haven’t listened to Robyn’s new music then you are a dumb ass.

#7

#7: Rihanna – Only Girl (In The World)
It really sucks that Rihanna has become one of those artists who has like one or two good songs on their albums.  I had so much hope for her new album when I heard this first single, and when I finally got to listen to the album (which took a while because Benutty never sent it to me like he said he would) it was just a huge let down.  This song is amazing though, and I dare you not to dance while listening to it.

#6

#6: Robyn – Fembot
Ok… so I really hated this song when I first heard it. I gave it a second chance when Body Talk pt. 2 came out, and totally fell in love with it.  Listen to it and love it!

#5

#5: Scissor Sisters – Night Work
Thank the gods that the Scissor Sisters decided to do a dance album.  The whole album is super amazing, but this song is especially good.  It kind of makes you want to go out at night and hang out with prostitutes, or dress in drag and go to the Castro followed by the Penny.

#4

#4: Kylie Minogue – Get Outta My Way
Like Rihanna, I was fairly disappointed in Kylie Minogue’s new album.  It didn’t seem to have any substance… just a lot of mindless, not very well thought out songs.  I don’t even know how to explain it properly, but if you heard it I am sure you know what I mean.  There were a couple highlights to her album though… Aphrodite was one of them, but in the end Get Outta My Way totally stayed with me thru out the year.  The video really helped this song out also…. look it up… totally cuties.

#3

#3: Goldfrapp – Rocket
I don’t know what it is about this song, but I fucking love it and I could listen to it non-stop… oops and I did.  The video is a little out there, but I love that it looks very 80′s.   I Wanna Life by Goldfrapp just missed my top 10, but it is also a must listen!

#2

#2: Scissor Sisters – Skin Tight
By far my favorite song on their new album.  I mean honestly you should just listen to their full album because it is just that good.  It is better than their other 2 albums combined.  It is super gay, super dancey, and super fun.  Only homophobes would hate this album haha.

#1

#1: Robyn – Hang With Me
Ok so really… Scissor Sisters and Robyn tie this past year as my favorite.  This song really grabbed me, and I still listen to this song all the time.  You need to seriously just buy the 3 albums Robyn released this past year because the majority of the songs are fantastic.  This is the music that I wished Madonna was making right now, but you can’t have everything.

(Get it… NICK-knacks). Anyways… Gary Jr. has been gushing over this Scissor Sisters song called Invisible Light for the last couple of weeks… mostly because of the part in the song that Sir Ian McKellen does. By the time we find a parking spot at IKEA, Gary’s favorite part of the song is about to come on, so he makes us sit in the car and wait for this part to end… the following is a recording of that moment, and proof that these two bitches are messes (not that we all didn’t know that already):

Yes, there really was a guy watching them dance around in the car.  Such god damn messes.  I love it.

Scissor Sisters – Night Work

The Scissor Sisters have a whole lot of sass, and this album is full of it.   This is yet another great album by them…  Listening to this album is reminds me of those old Duran Duran videos from the 80′s….  I’m not sure how to explain that… you just have to know.   This album was produced by Stuart Price (who also produced Madonna’s Confessions on a Dancefloor)… he has been quite the busy bee this year producing all sorts of amazing albums!   If you like dancing music that is inspired by the 70′s and 80′s then pick this bitch up!

Stand out tracks:

Night Work, Fire With Fire, Any Which Way, Harder You Get, Invisible Light

Kylie Minogue – Aphrodite

Well you should know first that like Madonna… Kylie can do no wrong.  Aphrodite is a fantastic album, also produced by Stuart Price, that goes back to pure basic pop music.   This is what she does best, and if you like upbeat feel good music and you aren’t listening to Kylie then you are missing out big time.  This album reminds me of my trip to Europe back in 2002 when I first bought Kylie’s Light Years.   I remember being on a train from Milan to Barcelona listening to that album non-stop and just being so happy and excited… how could a vacation not be good when listening to Kylie.  Seriously you need to buy this shit… actually you need to buy Kylie’s last 5 albums.  They are all excellent.  This bitch better tour here again or else!

Stand out tracks:

All The Lovers, Get Outta My Way, Closer, Everything Is Beautiful, Aphrodite, Better Than Today

Miley Cyrus – Can’t Be Tamed

Yea I know… What the fuck is Nick mentioning this annoying bitch for?? right?   Well I kept hearing how her new album was pretty gay and dancey, so I checked out some tracks and it pains me to say that I actually enjoy some of her songs.  I know… get the cross out and hang me on it… (just make sure Madonna is singing in front of it… what!).   Anyways I don’t think I am going to become some big Miley fan, but I’ll give the little bitch credit for making some catchy songs… plus who doesn’t like a slut!

Stand out tracks:

Liberty Walk, Two More Lonely People, Permanent December
