Naturally we heard more than 40 great songs in 2007. And so before we get to the top two slots, here are 10 tracks that might have made it into our list of awesomeness on another day, from Radio Disney to Brooklyn art-rock to Euro-techno to Britney:
2007 is almost in the books. Hooray! (No, seriously, get it out of our faces.) Before we go, let’s squeeze in one last list with a look back at the 20 most popular posts from the last 365 days:
1. In which the term “wank mining” was brought to our attention.

8. In which we canvassed the room for Guns N’ Reactions.
9. In which the Butterfly Of Long Island lived every girl’s dream: A Playboy cover.
