Avril Lavigne gets up in your face. It's a love/hate type of song. Is it childish or is the brattiness brilliant?

It took some time for a major hit to emerge from Good Morning Revival, but this one is a monster. Dance-rock was big in '07 and this was one of the biggest standard bearers.
37. Linkin Park - Shadow Of the Day

Linkin Park strike a more wistful tone featuring brilliant vocals from Chester Bennington.

Robin Thicke proved definitively that blue-eyed soul is quite alive and well. This is one of the sexiest hits of the year.

Just like their heroes Jimmy Eat World, Boys Like Girls make memorable power pop hooks seem effortless.
32. Pink - Who Knew

The spare guitar hook is catchy, but it's the words here that can break your heart in Pink's lament of a life lost too soon.
31. Fall Out Boy - Thnks fr th Mmrs
Courtesy Island Records
Clever words, ultra-catchy music, and an expanded instrumental palette makes this one of the best Fall Out Boy singles yet.
