Well, we’ve arrived at the end of 2012, which means it’s
time to look back on the year that was in pop music, and attempt to count down

this year’s list, because, frankly, their music annoyed me, and it’s MY list and I get to make the rules. So, without further ado, here’s my
definitive list of the best of the year’s biggest hits:
