I found it extremely difficult to narrow down the best songs in English to just twenty songs. I love so many different genres and like different songs for different moods. Therefore, I am going to go into my favorite songs for this year.
1.Family Affair-Mary J. Blige
Produced by Dr. Dre this was by far one of the tightest songs this year. The song encourages you to dance and have a good time. No drama, no pain, just taking life as it comes.
2.Hit’Em Up Style- Blu Cantrell
The ultimate revenge song for the woman this year. Blu has such a jazzy, distinctive voice and I am hoping her next song will be just as big.
3.How Come You Don’t Call Me- Alicia Keys
Remaking Prince and doing him justice, I find this song to be so fun and interesting. Her hit Fallin’ is great as well but this song is one of my favorites on her album.
- When God Fearin’ Women Get The Blues-Martina McBride
Fun and spunky this song is another winner from one of the best country singers in the business
5.What Your Fantasy?-Ludacris
This song kept turning in my head and when it came on the radio I found myself bobbing my head and rapping along.
6.You Remind Me-Usher
This song is engaging to listen to and I think he does a great job of singing it.
- Just Another Day In Paradise- Phil Vassar
This song is fun and well written. Vassar has written some great songs for other people and its nice to see him step into the limelight.
- Slave 4 U
Original and kind of funky, this is one song by Britney I actually like when I hear it on the radio.
- Survivor- Destiny’s Child
Overplayed? Yes. Call it my guilty pleasure.
- Mad Season-Matchbox 20
Fun and pretty interesting musically. I am a sucker for Rob Thomas’s voice I guess

Lady Marmelade- Christina Aguilera, Mya, Pink, Lil Kim
Musiq Soulchild-Love
Jill Scott- Gettin’ In the Way
Peaches and Cream- 112
Turn Off The Lights- Nelly Furtado
The Space Between- Dave Matthews Band
