10. The Alpine - Mondays Look The Same
Peppy power pop anthem... kinda angry, but sounds absolutely joyous.

9. Melody Club - Destiny Calling
Swedish band's most direct single yet... mature and shimmering pop.

8. Alphabeat - Fascination
Quirky candy pop from multigender Danish group... inescapable from the very first listen.

7. Mika - Relax, Take It Easy
Scissor Sisters-esque dance rock... timeless in its simplicity and verve.

6. The Zutons - Valerie
My summer song of the year... perfect for backyard barbeques or days at the beach.
