Greatest Hits: Top 10 Singles of 2006

State of Being : Looking Back 2006

With 2007 just round the corner, it's time to round up the year 2006 with my personal list of top 10 singles for the year....

Title: Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado ft Timbaland
Album: Loose

Nelly Furtado re-invented herself turning into a sexy pussycat with the release of the album "Loose". Especially luv the beat of this smashing hip-hop single! Simply HOT!

Title: Where'd You Go by Fort Minor ft Holly Brook
Album: The Rising Tied

This fourth single from Fort Minor's debut album is awesome. The lyrics is about the perspective of the person left behind in long-dist relationships. Have always luv rap ft female vocals (like "Stan" by Eminem ft Dido).

Title: What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts
Album: Me And My Gang

Surprisingly this country song makes it to one of my favourite top 10 singles this year. Meaningful lyrics and heart wretching video from these country lads.



Title: Me & U by Cassie
Album: Cassie

Hypnotic first single from Cassie's eponymous debut album accompanied by a sexy video. Alternative unreleased video includes a highly controversial suggestive version.

Title: Unfaithful by Rihanna
Album: A Girl Like Me

This was the follow-up single to her other #1 hit "SOS". Personally prefers this over to "SOS". This beautiful ballad is a take on a girl being unfaithful to her partner.

Title: Hurt by Christina Aguilera
Album: Back To Basics

This classic ballad mimics the success of her previous hit "Beautiful" from the last album "Stripped". Especially endearing to those who have lost a loved one at one point or another in their lives.

Title: Jump by Madonna
Album: Confessions On A Dance Floor

COADF is all about having a good time straight through and non-stop and "Jump" is one such song. Pure disco-pop! A pity that the video is kinda pointless and amatuerish though.

Title: Irreplaceable by Beyoncé
Album: B'day

1/3 Ms Destiny's Child Beyoncé redeemed her latest album "B'day" with this third offering - "Irreplaceable". Her previous two singles "Deja Vu" & "Ring The Alarm" were simply forgettable. *yawn*

Title: Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
Album: Eyes Open

Without doubt, "Chasing Cars" will remain as a classic track down the years. This song was even featured in ABC hit series "Grey's Anatomy" second season finale.

Title: Nothing In This World by Paris Hilton
Album: Paris

What the hotel heiress Paris Hilton lacks in vocal training, she certainly makes up with a catchy tune and an entertaining video. Truly one of 2006's guilty listening pleasure...
