My Top Songs of 2008 [English]

Look for the MVs on Youtube and Dailymotion.




25. New Soul - Yael Naim [Pop]

24. Requiem For A Dying Song - Flogging Molly [Celtic Rock]

23. No One - Alicia Keys [R&B]

22. So What - P!nk [Pop]

21. Stop and Stare - OneRepublic [Rock]

20. Hot N Cold - Katy Perry [Pop]

The best newcomer of 2008.

19. Sweet and Low - Augustana [Alternative Rock]

Good choice of lead single.

18. I'l Be Lovin U Long Time - Mariah Carey feat. TI [R&B]

Surprisingly likeable.

17. Shake It - Metro Station [Pop]

Good debut as well.

16. Let's Start From Here - Joanna Wang [Folk/Pop]

The first ever Asian residing in Asia to ever chart on my English chart. Unfortunately, none of her Mandarin hits will appear on my other countdown.

15. Crushcrushcrush - Paramore [Alternative Rock]

14. All Around Me - Flyleaf [Alternative Metal]

13. Paper Planes - MIA [Alternative Hip-hop]

Whoever likes this will agree that the best parts are the gunshots and the cash register ringing.

12. Bye Bye - Mariah Carey [R&B]

Touching and very well-delivered.

11. Violet Hill - Coldplay [Alternative Rock]

Awesome song, but the original MV was disappointing.

10. Leave Out All The Rest - Linkin Park [Rock]

09. Spiralling - Keane [Alternative Rock]

Captivating, right from the first note.

08. Disturbia - Rihanna [R&B]

Catchy, and an amazingly creepy MV to top it up. I might adjust the position of this song upwards when I do the decade long chart.

07. Viva La Vida - Coldplay [Alternative Rock]

Both MVs are disappointing. Ugh. Of course, the captivating nature of the song still allows it to sit pretty at lucky #7.

06. I Kissed A Girl - Katy Perry [Pop]

Ooo.

05. Shadow Of The Day - Linkin Park [Rock]

04. Built To Last - Melee [Rock]

Perfect for Valentine's Day. Though it's kinda cheezy for a rock band to play it.

03. Say (All I Need) - OneRepublic [Rock]

Oh gosh, simple yet loveable.

02. Apologize (remix) - Timbalandfeat. OneRepublic [Rock]

Ah, so close.





And #01 is...































01. Won't Go Home Without You - Maroon 5 [Rock]



Congrats Maroon 5 for attaining their first annual #1.
