Summer 2010: Top 10 Hits

By Jon Carter

A lot of hot songs that came out this summer. Among them were ten that were very popular. To keep the radio sizzling along with the temperatures the artists brought out steaming sounds that hit the airwaves this season. You can either catch them by purchasing the album, 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've heard #9 a lot this year. It's "Say Ahh" by Trey Songz, the perfect song during a Ladies' Night for your girlfriend's birthday outing. "Go girl! It's ya birthday!" This latest hit single brings the same type of heat that 50 Cent's "In Da Club" brought to the clubs and radio stations. Both praise a woman and her birthday encouraging her to party and celebrate life. At #8 we have one very eclectic new artist. Lady Gaga is one of the most popular artists out right now. For Summer 2010 she released the track "Alejandro". Her Fame Monster CD was released Christmas 2009 including this hit single along with "Bad Romance" and "Telephone". Her tour continues across the states. Jason Derulo is the singer of the #7 song "In My Head". He'll be in your head all summer with this catchy tune about summer love. Derulo praises his girl using a summer smash hit.

Our Top 6th song of Summer 2010 is "Break Your Heart" by Taio Cruz featuring Ludacris. Just about any summer song that includes Ludacris is bound to be a hit. It was played on The Hills season finale when Brody showed up at the club with a date in front of his ex, Kristin. They play it all the time on the radio. Probably because people like it so much, which explains it making the Top 10 list. Number 5 is a personal favorite. Mike Posner's "Cooler Than Me" is great for summertime on the beach or riding with the top down. His unique sound and spicy lyrics set the mood for any summer party or even a back to school bash. Will.I.Am and Usher team up for the #4 song. "OMG" is constantly being played. Usher 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. His last biggest summer club banger was "Yeah" in 2006.

As we near the top of the list "Airplanes" by BOB and Hayley Williams of Paramore makes it #3. If you have ever hoped for something bad enough that you made a wish it would come true then you can relate to this track. It captures the essence brilliantly. The #2 song of the summer is "Getting Over You". The sound of Fergie and Willis' voices together on this inescapably catchy track has summer fun written all over it. DJ Guetta has managed to bring together the best part of mid-90s club music with his own twenty-first century sound. Finally, topping the list at #1 is "California Gurls" by Katy Perry. This pop song quickly became the west coast anthem as Perry paints the picture of life on the beach. She sings "daisy dukes with bikinis on top" describing the beach atmosphere over a hip beat in this 2010 summer hit. Yet another single to bump with your top down.
