Is Gone a single? If it is, it would definitely be at the top of my list.

In a top ten with a bunch of very complex and interesting songs, my favourite inclusion would have to be Hips Don't Lie. I love it when people are brave and honest enough to throw a Shakira song between Belle & Sebastian and Man Man, and I say that without a trace of irony.

And What You Know is a masterpiece. But everyone already knew that.

I was definitely under the impression that "Gone" was released sometime in the summer as a single. I've seen it listed on a few sites as such, but I haven't verified it.

"Hips Don't Lie" is just way too much fun to ignore. This year has really lacked in great pop singles, but the big three ("Hips Don't Lie", "Promiscuous", "Crazy") are all pretty wonderful.

"What You Know" is the best radio song of the year. Flat-out, hands down, no questions asked.
