Best Songs Of 2009

I think next year, I’m going to sort through my music way earlier. It took me two days to come up with this list. I sorted through hundreds of album, thousands of songs and I finally came up with a list. Well, after I figured out a simpler system. I built a smartlist in iTunes, to include songs from 2009 and picked the ones with the highest play counts. So while this may not be the greatest top 100 list! At least you know these are songs I bought, picked and listen to on a regular basis.

Thought about including links to YouTube so you could hear the songs. But since you never know when something may get flagged for copyright violations/not available in your country/etc. I decided to use links from iTunes! If you don’t have it installed, you’ll just be sent to a web page when you click the song link. I know it’s only 30 seconds, but at least you’ll get an idea if you like the songs or not.

Anyway, here’s my craptular list; feel free to leave any opinions in the comment section.
