Top 100 Pop Songs 2006

By , About.com Guide

4 of 10

70-61

This is admittedly a subjective list based on judgements of quality instead of sales figures or radio airplay. A number of songs have expanded reviews - click on the word 'Review' to read more information about the song.

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.

70 - KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See

This song proved, in catchy pop fashion, that KT Tunstall was no one-hit wonder.

69 - Ashlee Simpson - Invisible

Ashlee Simpson turns over the songwriting duties to others and delivers one of her best performances.

Review

68 - Lil Jon featuring E-40 and Sean Paul of The YoungBloodz - Snap Yo Fingers

Lil Jon woke us all up with this confident reappearance on the pop scene.

67 - Taking Back Sunday - MakeDamnSure

Taking Back Sunday reminded us that there are other bands in the melodic hardcore realm than Fall Out Boy and Hawthorne Heights.

66 - OK Go - Here It Goes Again

Everyone remembers the treadmill video, but the song is catchy and memorable, too.

65 - Ciara - Promise

A more adult Ciara turned to smoldering ballad territory with mostly positive results.

64 - Saving Jane - Girl Next Door

As long as there are teen girls feeling left out, there will be a need for songs like "Girl Next Door."

Review

63 - Kanye West featuring Lupe Fiasco - Touch the Sky

It's all rather overblown, but no one can dismiss Kanye's obvious talent.

62 - Lady Sovereign - Love Me or Hate Me (F**k You!)

She may be tiny, but Lady Sovereign's feisty debut won't be quickly forgotten.

61 - Ne-Yo - Sexy Love

This second major hit from Ne-Yo as an artist goes down easy in almost any pop music setting.
