A Case Of You James Blake
1
Someone Like You Adele

James Blake and Garrett Hedlund have the most entries, at five songs each. Adele and Sondre Lerche are runner-ups at four each, but Adele has the number 1 and number 3 songs, while Sondre Lerche's highest is ranked at 39.

It was actually quite easy to choose the top ten songs, but choosing number 1, between Adele's Someone Like You and James Blake's A Case Of You, was rather difficult, and I am likely to change my mind about this on any given day.

And yes, Robyn's Call Your Girlfriend was also on my 2010 list but she's been promoting this song this year, and the more I hear it, the more delightful it becomes. But that's not the oldest song of the bunch - Nina Simone's I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free is. I have never heard of this song til it came on in Pandora, and man, what an anthem!

I am going to stop messing with this list now. Everytime I look at it, I want to re-order something.
