Here are my picks for the top songs of 2008 (some were technically 2007 but received significant airplay in 2008).


2008

1. That’s What You Get
   Paramore
   Despite the upbeat rock music, this isn’t exactly a happy song (or video, for that matter).
2. Should’ve Said No
   Taylor Swift
   Hell hath no fury like a teenage singer/songwriter scorned. And no, I have no idea what that has to do with a waterfall.
3. If I Never See Your Face Again
   Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna
   Rhianna seems to have been a good choice for the remixed version of this song.
4. Lost!
   Coldplay
   Mind you, I’m a Coldplay fan, but did anyone else find their defense weak? “We respectfully ask him to accept our assurances of this and wish him well with all future endeavors.”
5. I Kissed A Girl
   Katy Perry
   Speaking from a stereotypical point of view, I’m sure her boyfriend didn’t mind.
6. Love Song (2007)
   Sara Bareilles
   One of those that came out in 2007, but I missed. So I'm putting it here.
7. Stop and Stare
   OneRepublic
   
8. Cath...
   Death Cab for Cutie
   
9. Disturbia
   Rhianna
   Good song. Scary video.
10. Better In Time
    Leona Lewis
    
11. Gotta Be Somebody
    Nickelback
    
12. I Don’t Care
    Fall Out Boy
    
13. Bleeding Love (2007)
    Leona Lewis
    
14. Love Like This
    Natasha Bedingfield featuring Sean Kingston
    
15. It’s Not My Time
    3 Doors Down
    
16. In Love With A Girl
    Gavin DeGraw
    Who knew the mall could be so exciting you’d want to stay after work?
17. Love Lockdown
    Kanye West
    Kanye West + controversy? Who'dve thunk it?
18. Over You (2007)
    Daughtry
    
19. Realize
    Colbie Caillat
    
20. Viva la Vida
    Coldplay
    

Part 2:
21. Goodnight Goodnight
    Maroon 5
    
22. I Will Possess Your Heart (Radio Edit)
    Death Cab for Cutie
    
23. Pumpkin Soup
    Kate Nash
    
24. Hot N Cold
    Katy Perry
    Apparently I’m easily amused (though this was my favorite song on the album).
25. See You Again (2007)
    Miley Cyrus
    Really easily amused.
    
26. Love Story
    Taylor Swift
    Something tells me Ms. Swift never read The Scarlett Letter. Or Romeo and Juliet, for that matter.
27. Little Miss Obsessive
    Ashlee Simpson-Wentz
    
28. Sober
    Pink
    I’m usually not a Pink fan, but I like this one.
29. I Hate This Part
    The Pussycat Dolls
    
30. Keeps Getting Better
    Christina Aguilera
    
31. Circus
    Britney Spears
    We’re back to the days of Britney vs. Christina. I’d take Christina though. While Circus was a decent comeback for Britney, it’s not much different from her first albums. Christina, on the other hand, has arguably expanded from her early days.
32. In This Life
    Delta Goodrem
    
33. Single Ladies
    Beyonce
    
34. Pocketful of Sunshine
    Natasha Bedingfield
    
35. Chasing Pavements
    Adele
36. I’m Yours
    Jason Mraz
    
37. Teardrops On My Guitar (2007)
    Taylor Swift
    
38. Won’t Go Home Without You (2007)
    Maroon 5
    
39. Untouched
    The Veronicas
    
40. Second Chance
    Shinedown
    

Consider the following filler for Finetunes' 45 song minimum:

41. Just Dance
    Lady Gaga
    
42. Mercy
    Duffy
    
43. Say (2007)
    John Mayer
    
44. Break The Ice
    Britney Spears
    

This is one of the more original videos I've seen this year.

45. The Show
    Lenka
