DJ Teridactyl

I decided to continue from last year with my list of my favorite songs to dance to in 2010. As like before, this list isn't based on any charts or radio play. It's simply my biased opinion of the best songs made in the last year to get you to want to get on the dance floor!

Once again, here they are in ascending order:














5. Usher - OMG (ft. Will.I.am)
I always loved the anthem quality of this song, and was really happy to hear Usher finally make a hit as equally good as 2004's Yeah!














4. Carte Blanche - Do! Do! Do! (ft. Kid Sister)
With two European DJ's and Kid Sister in the mix, it's hard to go wrong with this one!














3. Willow Smith - Whip My Hair
No matter whose daughter she may be, no one can deny the talent Willow Smith has shown to make a hit song like this at only 9 years old!














2. N.E.R.D. - Hypnotize U
This one by N.E.R.D. literally creeped up on me. After a few listens, I decided I actually liked the creep factor, and now can't help but want to groove to it whenever it's on! Plus, the song is produced by none other than Daft Punk!!














1. Rihanna - Rude Boy
Rihanna did not receive a lot of praise earlier this year from her Rated R album. But I got to say, this song alone is so amazing on it's own, it makes any other song on that album forgivable. For as long as you hear this song playing in a club, you'll see me dancing to it!

DJ Earworm has done it again! He's taken the Top 25 Hits of 2010 (according to Billboard Magazine), and produced an awesome mashup!

This Canadian Indie Electric Pop duo have actually been around for a few years now, and have a handful of albums under their belt, but since they are new to me, I assume they may just be new to you too. In skimming through their releases, it was actually hard just to choose one single to post here. "Parallel Lines" was released off their latest album Begone Dull Care, and has a sound similar to something you'd hear in Nine Inch Nails.

And if you dig that, then I'd also recommend checking out their video for "In the Morning."

Hailing from Denmark, Nanna Øland, or Oh Land to you, is one of the slew of eccentric, female singer-songwriters (à la Little Boots, Lykke Li, and Florence + The Machine) to grace the music scene. But as all those ladies have managed to find a voice of their own, so has Oh Land. No word yet on a debut album, but check her out in her first video for "Sun of Gun."

I keep saying it, when will anyone start believing it?: Damon Albarn can do no musical wrong. Need more proof? Just watch the video above for an amazing, and touching cover of The xx's "Crystalized" by none other than Albarn and his Gorillaz crew.

I'm new to Adele, but luckily I'm just in time for the upcoming release of her sophmore album, 21. Not necessarily a dance tune, but you got to appreciate how this Brit can belt it out!

Carte Blanche is the side project of two European DJ's: DJ Medhi and Riton. They've released a 4 track EP entitled Black Millionaires, with one of the songs being this one, featuring one our favorites, Kid Sister! Check out the fun video that's just been released for the song!
