Well, I was asked to make a list of what I consider the Top 10 Songs of 2007. I have obliged. So many songs came out this year just like any recent year. Thus, I would assume its impossible for any reviewer to really be able to listen to every song on every album (and/or mixtape) of every genre and then give an opinion as to which 10 songs deserve to make the cut.
I in no way think my list is “finished” in the sense that I haven’t heard every song from 2007. But, I have heard a decent amount, both on the radio and on various CDs/mp3s that I have had the benefit of getting my ears on.
Some songs on my list are songs that I think 2007 will be remembered for (at least for the next few months before a new crop of summer bangers come out). Songs that just about everyone heard at least once, whether or not they liked it or really wanted to hear it. I’ve also included songs that probably very few people have heard unless they are fans of certain artists. Thus, I think I have touched on some “radio” songs along with some songs that one would have to purposely search out, although all the artists are pretty “mainstream” (if that makes any sense).

I should have just done a Top 10 Rap songs list or a Top 10 Pop songs list, but I think my musical taste is spread across a spectrum and thus that spectrum should be partially represented in my personal Top 10 list.
Before I just get to the list already, I also want to note that just about any mix, guest appearance, or song that Lil Wayne put out in 2007 could easily be a serious candidate for a Top 10 song. Think about hit songs from the past 2 years and see if you don’t stumble upon a Lil Wayne project along the way. His Tha Carter III hasn’t dropped yet (although some “potential” songs leaked during 2007 causing Weezy to make some lineup changes). That new album is definitely something to be excited about in 2008. XXL Magazine named Tha Carter III as the most anticipated album of 2007, so 2008 got lucky with the delay…
With all that said, here are my Top 10 songs of 2007, in no particular order:
Barry Bonds - Kanye West featuring Lil Wayne
Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie
Stronger - Kanye West
Say Hello - Jay-Z
Buy You A Drank (Shawty Snappin') - T-Pain featuring Young Joc
Hey There Delilah - Plain White Ts
No One - Alicia Keys
Bubbly - Colbie Caillat
Beautiful Girls - Sean Kingston
Hello Brooklyn 2.0 - Jay-Z featuring Lil Wayne
