Like so many of my favorite songs, this one was also part of Melodifestivalen this past year. It didn't make it to the final round, but it's a great upbeat song that I hit replay on over and over.
Standing Where You Left Me - Erik Hassle
His record company was pushing his song Hurtful (a Swedish hit from 2008) here in the US this past year. It didn't catch on. I'm not a fan of that one. They should have tried this song instead, which was a hit in Sweden (imagine that) earlier this year.
Saturday - Basshunter
Very upbeat Eurodance is what Basshunter (Jonas Erik Altberg) is all about. This was his lone UK hit this past year.
Kick Ass (We Are Young) - Mika
Mika does phenomenal around the world, but can't seem to do anything on the North American charts. But it's not a surprise why this song didn't do well here. The title alone would scare most radio stations away thanks to everything being toned down to the extreme for fear of FCC retribution. The song was featured in the movie Kick Ass, thus the name. But that's never uttered in the song. The song's subtitle is the main chorus.
Good Times - Roll Deep
They're a London based group with ever changing group members. I never heard of them until this, which was a giant UK hit this past spring and is my favorite song from 2010.
