This list should be a great conversation starter and feel free to agree or disagree. Either way there is a lot of great pop music to be found here.
10 - My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade
A pop epic with heavy influence from Queen and Green Day.
9 - The Fray - How to Save a Life
Heartbreaking, but also a tribute to human spirit and connection.
8 - Mary J. Blige - Be Without You
This elegant song became one of the biggest r&b hit singles of all time.
7 - The Raconteurs - Steady As She Goes
This is the most joyously noisy pop-rock song of the year.
6 - Justin Timberlake featuring T.I. - My Love
Timbaland's production here is one of his most masterful works. Justin Timberlake's falsetto is unforgettable.
5 - Christina Aguilera - Hurt
Christina Aguilera wades through all of the tearjerker cliches and turns out an instant classic transcending any pitfalls.
4 - Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
If you thought there was nothing original left to say in a love song, Snow Patrol changed your mind.
3 - Beyonce - Irreplaceable
"To the left, to the left," is there anything more to say?
2 - Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Irresistible from the first time you hear it. You'll be singing along before the song ends.

Pop perfection that can lift you up on the grayest of days. A star is born.
