And now, for more fun...

At last: Stylus' Top 50 Singles of 2005 is posted, generating the usual boring controversy. The top 20 is the most entertaining I've read yet (by which I mean that most of the songs square with mine). I've got blurbs on "Hung Up" and "Bucky Done Gun." A few notes:

* I wish I'd heard Lee Ann Womack's "Twenty Years and Two Husbands Ago" and the Futureheads' "Hounds of Love" cover earlier. (thank god for Pazz & Jop).

* My "Mr. Brightside" vote was for the Jacques Lu Cont remix.

* "We Belong Together" would probably be in my top 10 today.

* I know shit about Robyn. Wasn't "Be Mine" released in 1995?

Anyway, my Stylus list:

01. The Killers – Mr. Brightside
02. Kelly Clarkson – Since U Been Gone
