One of my favourite tunes of all time (LOL), I used this song to produce some primary research for our stop motion music video project. We did this around September this year.

8. September - Can't Get Over
Another song which was sang by an amazing artist at Dance Nation in April. This really got me into the artist herself and broadened by musical horizons.

9. The Prodigy - Omen
The Prodigy's first single after five years. At the time, everyone was going wild down at Smallmans, Cardiff (when I used to go there) but I was even more interested because I loved their previous albums,
especially 'Experience' which I bought nearly three years before.
Originally a #4 hit in February 2009.

10. Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes
Heard this song in some hair dying ad. I really like the synth used in the background and the smoky voice appeals to me. Good choon.
Originally a #10 hit in May 1981.

11. Rex the Dog - Bubblicious
When I first saw the music video to this song, I was like "WOW!" and had to get this song. This was back in February this year. What amazed me even more is that this is the same guy who's alias is also 'JX', famous for hits such as 'Nothing I Won't Do' and 'Son Of A Gun', awesome.

12. Freestyle - Don't Stop The Rock
Also seen in an ad, this was for the Cadbury's ad where the kids' eyebrows were moving up and down and all funny. Made me laugh but the song also appealed to me.

13. Alesha Dixon - The Boy Does Nothing
Used as Marina's dad's theme tune, he sang this song all the time when he was washing up dishes in the kitchen, made me laugh, alot.

14. Kelly Clarkson - My Life Would Suck Without You
Strange story, um, I had a dream about Kelly Clarkson and that she acted like a kid and kept running away and wouldn't listen to me. Not long before she grabbed the #1 spot with this song. Later this year (around August) I bought her album which did quite appeal to me.

When my friend Adam and I were in Cardiff's 'Blue Banana', this song came on and we both just started singing it, was quite funny really.

16. Weezer - Pork and Beans
This song has been used throughout the year and the reason for this is because of the music video that goes with it, how awesome is that video?

17. Turisas - Rasputin
