Aqua1. Lady GaGa - 
Poker Face
Went through a phase earlier this year where female vocalists appealed to me. This song was also my birthday #1 back in March. Catchy tune.
Originally a #1 hit in March 2009.

2. Little Boots - Remedy
Female vocalists appealing to me, again. But this song really caught my eye, especially with the wonderful use of synths.
Originally a #6 hit in August 2009.

3. La Roux -Bulletproof
The only La Roux song I like from their debut album (it's alot less squeakier than 'In For The Kill'). Once again, I also love the use of synths, especially with it's 80's effect.

4. David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland - When Love Takes Over
Was used at the fashion show down at the college where Marina was attending. Also used alot when I went away for a weekend for a family get together.

5. Aqua -Back To The 80's
Aqua's comeback! Shame this hasn't been released as a single in the UK yet though... but the lyrics are awesome! Great use of synths also.

6. Calvin Harris - Ready For The Weekend
The theme song for the summer of 2009. I remember discussing this track to Marina and my friend, Chelsea and apparently, they only like the verses where Calvin sings...

7. Black Eyed Peas -I Gotta Feeling
Played everywhere, probably even more popular than their predecessor (Boom Boom Pow), yet another catchy tune, and apparently, it helps cheer us lot (the UK) up because of the credit crunch, so cheers B.E.P!

8. Dizzee Rascal & Armand van Helden - Bonkers
...What? Some people thinks he's bonkers, but he knows he's free. Catchy tune, dunno what Armand van Helden was thinking though...

9. Pitbull -I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)
Great use of sampling The Bucketheads 1995 smash, 'The Bomb'. I also love how vain this man sounds, makes me laugh.
Originally a #4 hit in July 2009.

10. Harry J All-Stars -Liquidator
This song just makes me laugh. A reggae instrumental? Different. Also because it's used in them adverts, y'know, the ones that promote food and shizz. Been listening to this tune all year round.
Originally a #9 hit in October 1969.

11. Yello -Oh Yeah
Kyle's (my tutor) theme tune. He has this deep, soothing voice, which reminds me of this song. But then it's also used as Duffman's theme tune alongside that pervert on one episode of American Dad where he has his 'Ice Cream Van' and lets all the kids run to him... creepy. But still, a good tune of which the video seems to have a constipated baby trying to have a poo...

12. Zig & Zag - Them Girls, Them Girls
Discovered this tune on a 90's compilation album. I loved it as soon as I heard it. Such creepy, but awesome lyrics such as 'Rubber-dub stylee' and 'You put the sky in my skyscraper'. It's a must-listen with their rip-take of Reel 2 Real's #5 smash 'I Like To Move It', listen to it, it's awesome.
Originally a #5 hit in December 1994.

13. Apollo 440 -Stop the Rock
Rediscovered this track when the social music site 'Last.fm' recommended me this artist, so I got the top track on the artist's profile and this was it. I was so amazed at Last.fm's recommendation because this song is really awesome! Great sample of Status Quo's 'Caroline'.
Originally a #10 hit in August 1999.

14. Katy Perry -Waking Up In Vegas
First saw the video to this song when I was away for that weekend to see my family. The music channel was on mute so that I could have a bit of light in my room (as it was huge and I was the only one in there) whilst I was sleeping... then for some reason, the volume kicked on and this song was blasting. Was creepy, but what a song!

15. Noisettes - Never Forget You
What a lovely song for the summer/winter. It has that retro feel which makes me feel all good inside. Good song.
Originally a #20 hit in July 2009.

16. Nouvelle Vague -Teenage Kicks
Was used for the trailer to promote the new series of E4's 'The Inbetweeners', I liked it because of the Bossa Nova feel (and it seems to make me think of college...), but what I completely forgot about was that it was a cover of the Undertones classic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bnSW2a_H80
17. Meat Loaf -Paradise By The Dashboard Light
For 8 and a half minutes, this song is kick ass! The lyrics completely remind me of Marina and myself and it just lets you rock out until your hearts content! Have a listen, you won't regret it.

Family Guy. 'Nuff said.

Got back into this song in September when I bought NOW 29. Go on Kevin! You talk them verses through!

20. Just Jack - The Day I Died
When I was incredibly depressed (due to the temporary split between Marina and myself) this song made alot of sense to me, so it was my depressing tune of 2009.
