"I don't know what to say/its a twist of fate when it all broke down/The story of us seems a lot like a tragedy now/Next Chapter"

Hi everyone! Its time for me to share my 2011 favorite songs. This was a fantastic year for music. I fell in love with so many songs. I'm going to give you my top 25 (if I can lower it to such few)

1. SPEAK NOW - Taylor Swifts: brand new albums, all the songs tied for first place :) This album expressed so many feelings that I've felt and connected with me so deeply. Every song made me want to sing along and reminded me why Taylor Swift is one of my favorite singers in the whole world, if not my absolute favorite

2. Teenage Dream - Katy Perry: You have no idea how many times I sang along to this song in the car on my way back from school. It was my jam, such a fun song and kept me waiting for my teenage dream to finally come true just like katy's did

3. Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars: Bruno mars was on fire this year. He came out with all these great hit but this one touched me right smack dab in the middle of my heart. He seemed like the worlds sweetest guys, he wrote great lyrics

4. Airplanes - B.o.b: Who didn't have their status as "can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars I could really use a wish right now" at least once this year. Everyone could use a wish but B.o.b put it in a song for us

5. OMG - Usher : Usher reminded us who the king of our generation is with this hit. It kicked but and made me dance like theres no tommorow too many times. It was hands down the best song off his whole album and I loved it.

6. Hey, Soul Sister - Train: This was a song that was really needed for a sunny summer afternoon. It makes you smile on the inside and is a totally amazing song from 2010

7 and 8 Not Afraid, Love the Way You Lie - Eminem: Eminem came back this year, and he came back on top. His album recovery was filled with all these great songs that you couldn't help but rap along too and jam out too. These songs both stayed number one for so long, and rihanna had a great part in love the way you lie.

9. Only Girl (in the world) : speaking of rihanna, she came up with this kick but song for girls all over the world to agree with. Who doesn't want their man to make them feel like the only girl in the world. Loud was a really good album this year.

10. Need You Now - Lady Antebellum : "Picture perfect memories..." This was a country jam that hit number one. First of all that is a huge deal. Countrey like rap, is a genre that isn't as highly appriciated like pop and hip hop so country songs making number one and staying on top all summer long is crazzy. But its a good song, deserved to stay on top

11. Find Your Love - Drake : Drake took off this year and became a household name. Hes a super handsome canadian boy that people started loving back when he was on Degrassi. This song had an awesome beat and Drake did great on this. #youngmoney

12. Got You Back - T.I. ft. Keri Hilson : T.I. got out of jail and did some useful things like write this song about Tiny while he was in the big house. This song just got stuck in my head a lot and I had a lot of fun singing it and trying to play it on every instrument i could.

13. California Girls - Katy Perry : It was summer, and everyone was wearing bright colors and hanging out by the beach. Especially, the california gurls. But this summer everyone got to be a california girl or at least have fun singing the song.

14. Just A Dream - Nelly : I've always liked Nelly. I was a second grader singing, "Its getting in here, so take off all your clothes my its getting so hot...". He dissapeared for awhile but he finally took the band aid of his cheek and got to work with a fabulous song.

15. We are the World 25 - EVERYBODY: When I say everybody I really mean everybody, Justin bieber, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion and some of the other great voices of our generation all got together to make us a remake of a fantastic song. It turned out great, I loved the new rap part added too it and it was cool.

16. Waka Waka (This time for Africa) - Shakira: Yes, I am African so this song was near and dear to my heart. It was exciting that the world cup was in Africa for the first time EVER and Shakira made a song for that excitment. The african beats were killer and it made me dance along every time, plus its great for working out. Its guarenteed to make you move faster on that treadmill

17. Pray - Justin Bieber : I'm not just saying this because I have an extreme case of bieber fever and in love with the boy, this is a good and inspirational song. He created the modern day Man in The Mirror at only 16. The proceeds from this song not only went to the pencils of promise foundation but Justin built over 100 schools off his acousitic album. I loved somebody to love and baby but this song touched a very many teenage hearts in america in a whole other way.

18. What's My Name - Rihanna ft. Drake : Both of these fabulous artists have made the list before but this is my song. Its the latest song that I can't stop listening too.

19. I Like It - Enrique Iglasias: This year was an introduction to a brand new Enrique Iglasias. He no longer is the romantic guy that brought Hero to us. He was the sexy guy with a mexican accent giving those who are 18 and over songs to rock their body too in the club. And guess what? I liked it. :)

20. Forget you - Cee Lo Green : This song took off too fast for me to realize what it was. When it came out as F*ck You, I was like great another guy saying cuss words all the time. Nothing against people who cuss but when I hear the songs with the F bomb in it it just makes the word come to mind in a bad situation and I'd rather not say that. When they came out with the clean version I listened to it and loved its jazzy feel. It was a good one.

21. Can't Be Friends - Trey songz : Trey dropped Pain, Plessue, Passion this year and it was enough to make me fall head over heals in love with the guy. This is a fantastic song, almost as fantastic as how great he looks with his shirt off. I've seen it with my own eyes, WOW! But hes a good musician and all though this song didn't make it big on the charts I like it

22. Magic - B.o.b. This was a really fun and upbeat song. I really enjoyed it and being five feet away from him made me life so it was really cool. And I liked the song even more after hearing it live

23. Your Love is My Drug - Kesha : Kesha's music is just so much fun. "Maybe I need some rehab or maybe just need some sleep". She wrote a love song like no other and worded it her own crazy way. Love her music and how upbeat it is.

24. Your Love - Nicki Minaj : Young money was doing really good this year and although I didn't think I would at first I came to like Nicki Minaj. She had a pretty great album and Your love was her first release from it. I really liked it, she one of the first really good female rappers I've actually enjoyed listening too. Can't wait to hear what she'll come out with in the future

25. Hold My Hand - Michael Jackson & Akon : This is such a great track, I would put it higher but i've only listened it to a couple times so far and it released towards the end of the year. The King of Pop shows that he can sell an album without any kind of promotion, since hes no longer with us. The vocals are really good and the song has a posative, and uplifting message


These were my top 25 songs of 2010. Honerable Mention: Lady Gaga's the fame monster was too awesome this year but the release date was acutally the end of 2009 so I coulden't add any of her hits to my list. Thats the only reason their not on here. Tik Tok was also really big this year but that single dropped decemeber. Jason Derulo and Iyaz are really great artists and if I had made this a top 30 songs they would have hands down mand me list

song of the day: The story of us - Taylor Swift
