Top 100 singles of 2008

Here are the people that I blog about that made the list.


No. 7

"American Boy"
BY ESTELLE FEAT.
KANYE WEST

More proof that great R&B can help America improve its international reputation: Winsome U.K. singer Estelle crushes on U.S. B-boys and makes Kanye West actually seem charming.

No. 11

Disturbia"
BY RIHANNA

The "Umbrella" girl channels Michael Jackson on this awesomely creepy synth-pop mindfuck co-written by her beau, Chris Brown.

No. 29

"So What"
BY PINK

Saucier than ever, Pink picks a fight with her ex and crowns herself Queen Badass in what sounds like a very special episode of VH1's Charm School.

No. 46

"Fifteen"
BY TAYLOR SWIFT

Take it from Taylor, boys suck: "When you're 15, somebody tells you they love you/You're gonna believe them." Puppy love may be short, but with tunes like these, Swift's teen-pop reign will be longer.

No. 51

Rule Breaker"
BY ASHLEE SIMPSON

Mrs. Wentz's rebellion jam is all bratty 'tude, stabby guitar and 2008's most entertaining taunt: "You don't want no beef!"

No.100

Yes We Can"
BY WILL.I.AM

Artistically, it's not exactly "A Change Is Gonna Come." But in 2008, this R&B polemic was the anthem we needed, and in terms of votes swayed and ballots cast, it was the rare song that made a difference.
