Midnight tonight isn’t the exact midway point of this year, but hey, it’s the last day of its sixth month, which is close enough for roadwork. Or, er, listwork, that is: After the jump, I give you the seven songs that I would be more likely to put on a mix CD than any other, in YouTube/blurb form. Think of it as a post for me and my creaky, prone-to-forgetting-stuff brain to come back to when the year-end listmaking craze hits in a couple of months and an invitation for you to engage in similar Monday afternoon quantifying!

While Coldplay’s Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends remains the biggest full-length in the United Kingdom, the band’s term limit/iPod anthem of the same name has been knocked from the top of the singles chart by Ne-Yo’s “Closer,” a disco doozy so sweet we couldn’t stop posting it in April.
