35. The Sounds - Something To Die For A late-career highlight. Sometimes all it takes is a well written pop song, and this definitely fits the bill. 34. Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (TGIF) Katy Perry's chart run continued unabated this year, and this track reignited interest in her brand of young, glossy pop. 33. Donkeyboy - City Boy Foregoing their usual, more wistful sound for something more electronic, this is something of a revelation for the band. 32. Cher Lloyd - With Ur Love (ft. Mike Posner) The X-Factor finalist's best single, and a perfect representation of what a Cher ...

Split My Personality- Salem Al Fakir i’m nowhere to be found.

Split My Personality- Salem Al Fakir i’m nowhere to be found.

Salem Al Fakir is a Swedish soul and pop musician/vocalist. He came out with this track in 2007 and some of our favorite dance producers Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso released their remix of it only months later. This feel good track is another one that is guaranteed to put you in a happy mood or [...]

"I leave the good and bad behind" Bassflow is one of my favorite production houses out there right now. Their trademark, surging sound never disappoints. I'm convinced that they can take any song and make it magic. This track, one of the least memorable from Salem Al Fakir's solid 2010 album, has been turned into something quite epic with this radio remix. One of the biggest gripes I had with the album last year was that Salem only seemed to take his new electronic direction halfway. The tracks that were more experimental were amazing, but the second half ...

40. Katy Perry - California Gurls The song of the summer, no doubt. And even with all the hundreds of times I heard it on the radio, it never really got to the point of oversaturation. That’s quite a feat, especially for such a stupid song. 39. Yeasayer - Ambling Alp In just one song, these guys transformed themselves from a band that I could appreciate to a band that I could really love. 38. The Hoosiers - Choices A shockingly ace new sound from a band that I had only tolerated before. This was the stateliest electro-pop on the radio last ...

"My feet just want to touch new ground" Thanks to the wonderful Swedish Stereo for turning me on to this great new Swedish pop band. I don't think I would have ever expected a group with an oddly blank name like Concept Store to create such exciting, uptempo music. The song pulses on a well-utilized string section before blasting into a sky-high falsetto, handclap chorus. It's about time we got a track like this from a new Scandinavian group. It's got shades of Salem Al Fakir, Fibes, Oh Fibes and Scissor Sisters, all pumped up to a ...
