Nick's Top 100 Songs of 2008

Well kids it’s that time of the year & I start thinking about my favorite songs of the year. The older I grow the more I find I don’t like some popular music so a lot of the songs you’ll find in this list you may not know. It’s ok because a lot of the songs are British or from another country. There are even songs on here like Don’t Stop The Music, Valerie & Bleeding Love that were actually released in 2007. But, they didn’t become big here in the states until this year. Even my number one song Just Dance was released this past summer & I’ve been loving it since. It’s only been the past month or so that it’s really taken off. Which makes me happy since I’ve been a Gaga supporter for months now. Rihanna is the female with the most hits this year with 7 appearances on this. Chris Brown is the male with 5 songs in my top 100. This year also saw all my divas release an album & some crashed & burned & some blew up. I decided that for this chart there would only be songs that charted somewhere in the world. I had plenty of songs that were actually my favorite songs on the year although they weren’t released as official singles. ’Tomorrow’ & ‘Distant Dreamer’ by Duffy, ‘Candy Shop’ & ‘The Beat Goes On’ by Madonna, ‘I’m That Chick’ by Mariah Carey, ‘So Much Out The Way’ by Estelle would be just to name a few. I hope you enjoy my list & if you don’t know a song look it up & if you don’t believe the chart positions…. well I highly doubt you should doubt me! I wish everyone a happy new year & they say whatever you’re doing at the stroke up midnight you’ll be doing the rest of the year. Well here’s to stroking & make sure whatever you do you do it well!!! With no further ado here is my top 100 for 2008.
