Top 50 Singles of 2009: 5-1

5. Dyno - Don�t Speak Love



My favorite new indie group of the year, this song was seemingly written using a template of everything that I love. A stunning example of why Swedish pop is so unbeatable.

4. Lady Gaga - Poker Face



Her official, world-conquering arrival. For that alone, it�s worth noting. But that�s forgetting the sheer brilliance of the song.

3. The Galvatrons - Cassandra



The track where I can safely use the �synths from Van Halen�s Jump� comparison. That, by the way, is pretty much the highest praise in the world.

2. Alcazar - Stay The Night



Never liked them too much before, but this song single-handedly changed that. This will sound as fresh and joyous twenty years from now as it does today.

1. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance



Her gutsiest single to date, and the release that marked her speedy evolution into a proper pop artist. This is so far ahead of anything else on this list, it�s ridiculous.
