Top Songs of 2011

The time has come to do the final tally of my most played songs of 2011. To begin with, let's revisit the #1's of the previous years that I have been doing these year-end lists.
2008: So What - Pink (52 plays)
2009: Just Dance - Lady GaGa (42 plays)
2010: Raise Your Glass - Pink (57 plays)
So, let's see if any of our former #1's make an appearance in this year's top list!

This list is compiled based on the number of plays the song has earned in my iTunes library. This will eliminate any personal bias or feelings I may have when trying to rank them. It solely shows my favorites based on the amount I have jammed to it, whether on my iPod in the gym or driving in the car to simply sitting at my computer, it's all been logged. Each song has a video attached if you have the urge to check out the songs you don't know! Hopefully, you will find some new music to enjoy! Here are the results:
