A little late, but here are my upcoming highlights of 2010:

De/Vision - "Popgefahr" (out on March 19, 2010)
First single "Rage/Time to be Alive" already out + first previews of the albumtracks sound promising.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - "Make a Scene" (Working title) (out July 2010)
First single "Bittersweet" hit the radio this week, amazing tune.

Amy Macdonald - "A Curious Thing" (out on March 12, 2010)
First single "Don't Tell Me That It's Over" already out.

Sugababes - "Sweet 7" (out on March 16, 2010)
Already three singles (UK) released: "Get Sexy" was disappointing, "About A Girl" and "Wear My Kiss" really catchy tunes. I'm hoping, the complete album will be as good as the two singles.

Angelzoom - "Nothing Is Infinite" (out on October 1, 2010)
First preview Hypnotized is already on Angelzoom's MySpace for 4 years. So it's really time for a full new album.

More (hopefully) great records to come in 2010:
Ace of Base 2.0 - {no details} (2010)
Eskobar - {no details} (2010)
Klee - {no details} (2010)
Natasha Bedingfield - {no details} (2010)
Sia - "We Are Born" (April 2010)
Wir sind Helden - {no details} (2010)
Within Temptation - {no details} (Fall 2010)
X-Perience - {no details} (Fall 2010)

Ace of Base - Mercy, Mercy (released on single "Always Have, Always Will")
With its dark mood, it doesn't really fit to the positive sound and feeling of the Cruel Summer/Flowers-era but still one of their best songs.

Amy Macdonald - Somebody New (released on single "Mr. Rock & Roll")
A masterpiece, calm and quiete song about love.

Black Eyed Peas - Shake Your Monkey (released on single "Don't Lie")
Ever wonder where the name of the album "Monkey Business" came from? I think this is the answer... Song to cheer up.

Camouflage - Conversation (released on single "Motif Sky")
Maybe this should have been the A-side? Love the song.

NEW! Eskobar - Along Came This Band (released on single "You Got Me")
A hell of a song, great hymn. One of my favourite songs by Eskobar.

KT Tunstall - Journey (released on single "Hold On")
One of her strongest songs, can't believe that this one isn't included on any of her album. Maybe it should have been a single?

Kylie Minogue - Cruise Control (released on single "Red-Blooded Woman")
This should have been on the album too!

Mesh - Let Them Crush Us (released on single "Leave You Nothing")
As strong as the A-side, it keeps me rocking and dancing.

Nightwish - Escapist (released on single "Bye Bye Beautiful")
Is this a "real" B-side? I don't know, after the album "Dark Passion Play" was re-released a thousand times... But still it is a straight rock song.

Roxette - The Sweet Hello, The Sad Goodbye (released on single "Spending My Time")
Roxette have a knack for writing great ballads. This is one.

Sarah Brightman - Sleep Tight (released on single "Time to Say Goodbye")
Never released on any album, this is one of my favourite songs from her.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Down With Love (released on single "Catch You")
Catchy refrain, sweet voice - love this song.

Sugababes - Someone In My Bed (released on single "Too Lost In You")
A great hook, catchy refrain - the Babes have so many great B-sides but this is one of their best.

Wir sind Helden - Popstar (released on single "Endlich Ein Grund Zur Panik")
I think the A-side is one of their weakest songs. I always skip this track, but "Popstar" is an - indeed simple - intelligent and funny song.

Within Temptation - Say My Name (released on single "Angels")
Breathtaking ballad. What more need to be said?

X-Perience - Strong (released on single "Magic Fields")
Ambient & quiete - what a great tune to relax!
