Summer 2010: Top 10 Hits

By Jon Carter

There were a lot of hot songs that came out this summer. Among them were 10 that were most popular. To keep the radio sizzling along with the temperatures the artists brought out steaming sounds that hit the airwaves this month. You can either hear them by purchasing the CD, new movie soundtracks or downloading the tracks online.

Starting with #10 is a track from the hit sequel released this summer Sex and the City 2. It's called "Love is Your Color" by the dynamic duo Jennifer Hudson & Leona Lewis. Jennifer Hudson was actually in the first Sex and the City playing Carrie's assistant. This dream collaboration can be found on the Sex and the City 2 soundtrack. Both singers share backgrounds in reality shows American Idol and X-Factor. Lewis won the British competition in 2006 while Hudson was among the top 10 finalists in American Idol.

You have probably heard the next song a lot this year. "Say Ahh" by Trey Songz is #9 on the list. It's the perfect song during a Ladies' Night for your girlfriend's birthday outing. "Go girl! It's ya birthday!" is probably the lyric you would best remember. This hit single brings the same type of heat that 50 Cent's "In Da Club" brought to the clubs and radio stations. Both encourage women to party and celebrate another year of life. At #8 we have one very eclectic new artist. Lady Gaga is one of the most popular pop artists in the industry right now. For her new summer release came the song "Alejandro". Her Fame Monster CD was released Christmas 2009 including this hit single along with "Telephone" and "Bad Romance". Her Monster Ball tour continues across the states. Jason Derulo is the singer of #7. The song "In My Head" will be in your head all summer with its catchy tune about summer love. Derulo used this summer smash hit to praise his girl.

Our Top 6th song of the summer is "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz featuring Ludacris. Usually any summer song that includes Ludacris is bound to be a hit. "Break Your Heart" was played on The Hills when Brody showed up at the club with a date in front of his ex-girlfriend Kristin. It's played on the radio all the time because people like it so much. This helps explain it making the Top 10 list. Number 5 is definitely a favorite. "Cooler Than Me" by the handsome Mike Posner is great for summertime on the beach or riding with the top down. His unique sound and spicy lyrics brings a new attitude to any summer party or even a back to school bash. Usher and Will.I.Am team up for song #4. "OMG" is constantly being played over the radio and in the club. Usher, the R&B prince, has made his return with new tracks like "Lil Freak" and "There Goes My Baby" along with this one which talks about love-at-first-sight. The last time he came out with a major summer hit was "Yeah" in 2006.

As we reach the top of the list "Airplanes" by BOB featuring Hayley Williams of Paramore falls at #3. If you've ever wished for something to happen bad enough then you can relate to this track. It captures that essence brilliantly. The #2 song is "Getting Over You". Together Willis and Fergie sound great on this inescapably catchy track which has summer fun written all over it. DJ Guetta has managed to mix his own twenty-first century sound with the best part of mid-90s club music. Finally, topping the list at numero uno is Katy Perry's "California Gurls". You can probably remember the first time you heard it. The song has quickly become the west coast anthem as Perry paints the picture of life on the beach in Cali. Lyrics like "daisy dukes with bikinis on top" describes the beach atmosphere in this 2010 summer hit. It's definitely one you'll want to jam on a sunny summery day.
