[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Almost there! And we'll finish off after lunch.

12. THE LONELY ISLAND ft T-PAIN - "I'm On A Boat" (80 points)

He fucked a mermaid. Vevo means the video is the uncensored version however.

11. THE-DREAM - "Fancy" (83 points)

Pretty sure this is the highest-placing album track (if such distinctions make a difference any more). It's also one of the oddest songs of the year, but you knew that already.

10. LADY GAGA - "Poker Face" (87 points)

Muffin, bluffin', etc.

9. ROYKSOPP ft ROBYN - "The Girl And The Robot" (95 points)

Embedding disabled so go here to see Robyn's mechanical love life revealed.

8. YEAH YEAH YEAHS - "Zero" (99 points)

The video seems very quiet. Anyway, tipped to be higher by some, I think there was votesplitting with "Heads Will Roll" though.

7. JAY-Z ft ALICIA KEYS - "Empire State Of Mind" (100 points)

Some days I really enjoy this record, others I can't bear it.

Bonkers must surely be there. If you voted for it, I can guarantee it.

I didn't vote at all! I suck.

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

yes bonkers will have got a lot of points from my ballot!

Mine too!

Well, I guess that kills "TiK ToK"'s chances. (Ke$ha appalls me, but I keep giving her music good grades.)

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

She was in the sub-60 list!

[koganbot]

Ah, my short-term memory continues to degrade.

And a few points from mine. Not many though - I put 'Holiday' higher.
