Oh please,
Don't Stop Believing by Journey (NOT Glee) was obviously the song of the year.
The top-selling iTunes albums and singles of the year are out, with much therein to irk the curmudgeon at whom very little of this commercial music is aimed. The five ear-bothering songs which sold the most were (cue Fluff Freeman countdown jingle): 5) 'Dynamite' – Bouncy R'n'B by Taio Cruz. 4) 'Airplanes' – Wistful R'n'B …

Ms Bee previously disgraced herself by stating her dislike of Ten Benson on these pages so I was glad her moderatrixness redeemed herself by recognising the only worthwhile songs on a list that was otherwise awful.
Single of the year is actually Bang Bang Bang by Mark Ronson and the Business Intl Featuring Q-Tip and MNDR. But I bought my download from Amazon (though I did buy the video from iTunes).

What happened to "genres" and whatnot? This list seems much like any group of songs or photos "flattened" by an Apple tool.
These songs are all too familiar to me. However, this is more to do with my job than my taste in music: I work in a night club. The DJs play them all the time.
That doesn't mean they haven't entered my playlist however (using Spotify). I will not pretend that I don't have a "Cheese" playlist - because they're all awfully effective ear worms.
