The last year the Blur ranked first on my list of singles was 2000, with Music is my Radar, see here . Ten years later, in 2010 could be considered as the year of Damon Albarn as he signs and performs two out of the top three singles of the year. The release of the song Fool's day by the Blur for the Record store day is the best song I heard last year. The return of Gorillaz after a long time, turned out to be one of their best singles, featuring the great soul singer Bobby Womack .
The Arade Fire in Suburbs presented many good songs but Ready to start stands among the few ones that can be aired everywhere, on the radio, in clubs, etc. This one, along with Bloodbuzz Ohio by the National are the top rock singles for 2010. ONE by the Yeasayer is one of the best dance songs of the year, although it was not aired as much as it should have. One life stand and Halcyon are, along with ONE, three of the top electropop singles that have been released in the last few years which would mak,e the New Order proud.
 Several years have gone by since Paul Weller last released a dynamite single, like Wake up the nation. I need a dollar is the perfect modern soul single that pays respect to the original black artists of previous decades. I learned the hard way by Sharon Jones and the Dap - Kings would be envied by Aretha Franklin and Martha Reeves . A pleasant surprise this year were the Beach House with Norway which deserves to rank among the top ten 2010 singles. Sade returned, after several years, with one of her best songs ever, Soldier of love . The newcomers Rox and Zaz, released two of the top singles of the year in different musical genres.
The Klaxons, without disappointing us, fail to stand up to Myhts of the near future with their 2010 release. Nevertheless, Echoes is great and catches your ear as you listen. The same also applies more or less to Love is ending by the Charlatans, who intensify their presence from time to time with songs like this. The perfect 2010 pop singles were Hollywood by our compatriot, the newcomer Marina and the Diamonds , and Eclipse (all yours) by the Metric from the soundtrack under the same title.
