Top 50 Singles of 2009: 40-36
40. La Roux - In For The Kill
Icy and dramatic, this proved to be the introduction to one of the more interesting looking popstars of the year. Too shrill at first, but after a few months resistance was futile.
39. Muse - Uprising
The furthest the band has ever ventured into straight-up glam rock, this had a beat to die for. Couple that with a slyly memorable hook and some football chants, and you’ve got yourself an anthem.
38. Jesse McCartney - How Do You Sleep
A surprise addition to the list, this kitschy pop/hip-hop single was inescapable this spring, and the chorus was one of the best of McCartney’s career.
37. Robbie Williams - Bodies
The big comeback single that didn’t seem to be so big at first. Like all the best songs, it became more and more impressive as the weeks went on.
36. Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me
She’s verging on the point of over saturation, but before that, this simple, lovelorn pop song hearkened back to the simple radio hits of the late nineties.

That Jesse song was surprisingly good wasn't it? And rather singalong... robbie I loved from the start, but i've always had a soft spot for him. And Taylor! Well it certainly was her year and this was one of her stronger singles along with the lovely key change in Love Story...
