December 21st, 2006

BEHOLD! In keeping with our/my obsession with lists, you’re gonna see some choices from US. Everyone else is doing it. Get on the train!

Wendy’s Most Awesometastic Fave Singles of 2006

1. Lupe Fiasco – “Daydreamin’”
I can’t stop listening to this song. It’s like ear-consuming liquid goodness that’s not actually liquid but just pure amazingness, from its musical lows and highs and in betweens. Beautiful.

2. JT – “What Goes Around/Comes Around”
#1 song on the album, IMO, but also very “Cry Me A River”. But also, I love “Cry Me A River”. I’d like to have a “chat” with whoever made the decision to cut “Comes Around” from the radio edit cause it’s the best part of the song!

3. Phoenix – “Long Distance Call”
This song is so freakin’ catchy that you think you’re eating gobs of cake when you listen to it. That good. I’d marry the first half of this whole album, but clearly this track stands out.

4. Gnarls Barkley – “Smiley Faces”
I don’t get why this wasn’t huge. I just don’t get it. *sob* No seriously, tell me.

5. K-OS – “Sunday Morning”
From like, the first second, this tune is gold. If you don’t like this song, you also don’t like cupcakes, puppies and also rainbows.

Honourable mentions: Metric’s “Poster Of A Girl”, Clipse’s “Wamp Wamp” and Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous”.

Guilty Pleasure Singles – Don’t Hate!

1. Ne-Yo – “So Sick”
Dude, this song is pure peaches and cream corn, but for awhile, I couldn’t stop listening. Also, it’s great for singing along horribly.

2. Pussycat Dolls – “I Don’t Need A Man”
You know when you go to a club, and you don’t really like clubs but then they end up playing the songs you loved when you were 11 and you end up having a hoedown? That’s this song for me. The chorus gets me every time, I just wanna bop like an oompa loompa.

3. Snow Patrol – “Chasing Cars”
This makes the guilty pleasure list cause radio overplayed the crap out of it, which ruins songs for me. But come on – if you have a heart, this song will break it. And you’ll love it.

4. Ciara – “Promise”
Takes me back to TLC’s “Red Light Special” and makes me wanna make babies. I can’t get enough of it.

Honourable Mentions: Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable”, Omarion’s “Ice Box”, Cassie’s “Me & U”.

Come on…tell us your choices! Immediately!
