2010 was a year of some changes, some hard moments but also lots of fun. In music, some good discoveries and greater presence of mainstream songs in my days (and also in my top 20):

20 - Alice Cooper - You and Me Maybe one of the best love songs ever made.
19 - Lady Gaga - Bad Romance Everywhere I went there was "Bad Romance", so here it is too.
18 - Paul McCartney & Wings - Mrs. Vandebilt Going to McCartney show certainly was one of the best moments of the year. I discovered this song because of the show and loved it instantly.
17 - Edward Maya - Stereo Love The accordeon riff of this song is catchy. As this song became a world mania in 2010, it could not be different to me.
16 - Jackson Do Pandeiro - Feito de Manteiga I never thought I could like so much a song of this style. But its happy mood and with a very nice keyboard part made me listen to it many times this year.
15 - Ke$ha - TiK ToK Pop music came back to me strongly this year, and this was one of the best on the radio…

6. Peter Frampton - "Do You Feel Like We Do"
5 Joe Walsh - "Rocky Mountain Way"
4. Alice In Chains - "Man In The Box"
3. Jeff Beck - "She's A Woman"
2. Paul McCartney & Wings - "Goodnight Tonight"
1. Rufus Featuring Chaka Khan - "Tell Me Something Good"
