Dear Thursday: The Best Songs of 2009

Again, I’m pretty sad that I gave indie music such short shrift this year, and I really hope to correct that in 2010. But that all excused, here’s my nominees for the best songs of 2009:

Best Pop Song: “I Gotta Feeling” by The Black Eyed Peas. I remember listening to this the morning before I went to the hospital to have Betty. And I imagine that it’s probably an awesome soundtrack for getting ready for a night of clubbing.

I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas

Best Rap Song: “Kiss Me Thru the Phone” by Soulja Boy Tell Them. Oh come on, don’t try to act like you’re not in love with this song, too!

Kiss Me Thru The Phone – Soulja Boy Tell`em

Best R&B Song: “Sweet Dreams” by Beyonce. Basically, I just go out of my mind every time this jam comes on the radio. Plus, Beyonce dressed up like a robot for the video. I mean what more do I have to say?

Sweet Dreams – Beyoncé

Best Indie Song: “Bulletproof” by La Roux. Yes, I chose this song because the singer’s hair is just so frickin cool on this single cover. But the song is pretty good, too.
