花了点时间整理了下，有几首还是蛮好听的，不过可惜没有评亚洲的

1. Kanye West’s Love Lockdown

以一种忽视旋律的、似乎被调校过音准的单调唱法，West用近乎鬼魅的嗓音叙述了一段失意恋情的残酷细节。如果因为”Love Lockdown”单一的野性元素听起来单薄而担心难以撑持，人性则韵于一组日本太鼓的鼓点中翩然而至。起初像是玩具枪的响声，但随着鼓点越来越快，越来越热烈，越来越狂野，并与West冰冷的声音相合，”Love Lockdown”变成一首描述悲伤的舞曲——相对于其他Hip-Hop的作品，它最接近”Love Will Tear Us Apart”。这是一首可以轻易引起人们兴趣的、尝试性的流行歌曲，而且，如果你认可它的风格的话，那它就是最棒的一首。

附歌词（摘自http://www.clyric.com/）:
Kanye West - Love Lockdown - LYRICS
I’m not loving you
‘Way I wanted to
What I had to do
Had to run from you
I’m in love with you
But the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home

So you never know
Never, never know
Never know enough
Til it’s over, love
Til we lose control
System overload
Screamin’ no no no no no

I’m not lovin you
‘Way I wanted to
See I wanna move
But can’t escape from you
So I keep it low
Keep a secret cold
So everybody else don’t have to know

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
You keep your love locked down
You lose

I’m not lovin’ you
The way I wanted to
I can’t keep my cool
So I keep it true
I got something to lose
So I gotta move
I can’t keep myself
And still keep you too

So I keep in mind
When I’m on my own
Somewhere far from home
In the danger zone
How many times did it take
Before it finally got through
You lose you lose

I’m not lovin’ you
‘Way I wanted to
See I had to go
See I had to move
No more wastin’ time
You can’t wait for life
We’re just wastin’ time
Where’s the finish line ?

[Chorus 1X]

I’m not lovin’ you
‘Way I wanted to
I’ve been no one new
I got no one new
No I said I’m through
But got love for you
But I’m not lovin’ you
‘Way I wanted to

Gotta keep it going
Keep the lovin’ goin’
Keep it on a role
Only god knows
If I’ll be with you
Baby I’m confused
You choose, you choose

I’m not lovin’ you
‘Way I wanted to
Where I want to go
I don’t need you
I’ve been down this road
Too many times before
I’m not lovin you
‘Way I wanted to

[Chorus 1X]

You lose
You lose
You lose
You lose

2. Pink’s So What

Justin Timberlake的”Cry Me a River”保持着最强劲的反弹势头，但Pink敢说她向王冠发起了一次英勇的猛攻。”So What” 集合了圣歌、击掌节拍、童谣曲调、合唱部分的重复录制合成等多重元素，就像50个心直口快的Pink聚在一起自白，除了戏称自己为“工具”。自从Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes点燃了一场竞赛，在众多流行歌曲的反击中，”So What”是最大大咧咧的一个。它同时也充满了趣味性，这归功于制作人Max Martin的键盘乐和Pink大摇大摆、感情丰富的嗓音。你干脆就离不开她了，不过今年确实再没有什么歌充满如此之多的嬉闹和愉悦。

i guess i just lost my husband

i’m just fine
and you’re a tool, so
so what
i am a rock star
i got my rock moves
and i don’t want you tonight

(uh, check my flow)
the waiter just took my table
and gave it to jessica simp (shit)
i guess i’ll go sit with tomboy
at least i’ll know how to hit
(what if their songs on the radio
that somebody’s gonna die)?
i’m gonna get in trouble
my ex’ll start a fight

and you’re a tool, so
so what
i am a rock star
i got my rock moves
and i don’t want you tonight

3. Ida Maria’s Oh My God

A million songs have been written with these three guitar chords and a million more have used lyrics like “Find a cure for my life.” So what makes “Oh My God” one of the best songs of the year? Ida Maria Børli Siversten. This 24-year-old Norwegian has a powerhouse voice — deep, commanding, a little masculine, exotic, too, like Nico, but with an abundance rather than an absence of feeling. As her taut band rips away at their instruments, Ida Maria turns her lyrics into epic drama; singing the word “God” in the chorus, she times the g to the crash of the snare and the roar of the guitar, just in case there’s a deity who could ignore her.
Oh My God

4. Lil Wayne’s A Milli

这首走俏的单曲于今年在孟加拉国制作。根据Lil Wayne本人描述，它打造出了一种“疯狂、令人为之失去平衡、同时又催人入眠”的风格，是一个特别的艺术杰作。
这首单曲前的有挪威艺人Ida Maria的《Oh My God》、艺人Pink的《So What》和来自另一个说唱流派的，大家熟悉的面孔——Kanye West的《Love Lockdown》。
也就是说，Lil Wayne的《A Milli》位居第四。
根据相关新闻报道，滚石唱片公司于本周确认，金曲《A Milli》位居专辑《Tha Carter III》之中，这是今年最畅销的三大专辑之一。
被这首著名的流行音乐杂志评为排行榜单前50位的说唱音乐，是来自艺人Nas的《Untitled》，这是一首独立发行的单曲，排名第43位。

5. Fleet Foxes’ White Winter Hymnal

这首反复吟唱的合唱描绘了学生们在冬天去森林短途旅行的情景，全歌只有52个词，2分半钟。没有比这更精巧的歌了，Fleet Foxes将有奇异情节的旅行故事缩影为一串重复的诗句——”I was following the pack/ All swallowed in their coats/ With scarves of red tied ’round their throats”——三段富于美感的格律诗句，每次重复都跟上器乐的微妙而有意思的变化，每一句都由Beach Boys四声部和唱且有变音的甜美嗓音吟唱出来。这首歌的奇巧和精致堪比Joseph Cornell box，并且非常优美。
White Winter Hymnal

附歌词:
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

i was following the pack
all swallowed in their coats
with scarves of red tied ’round their throats
to keep their little heads
from fallin’ in the snow
and i turned ’round and there you go
and, michael, you would fall
and turn the white snow red as strawberries
in the summertime

6. Jonas Brothers’ Burnin’ Up

乔纳森兄弟的又一大热单曲。值得一提的是在这首歌的MV中，乔纳森兄弟化身动作片巨星拯救美女

8. MGMT’s Time to Pretend

很有味道的一首歌艺
又一队复古乐队，MGMT让人欣喜的是能将旋律和能量完美的结合在一起，既能有Mars Volta疯癫般的吉他solo，也能有Scissor Sisters般极其讨巧的流行旋律。对于七十年代Disco音乐、华丽摇滚还有前卫摇滚的吸收让MGMT的音乐能量十足，大量合成器的运用则是让音乐更具旋律性。早在先行单曲《Time To Pretend》中，MGMT就得到了一支新乐队所能得到的全部赞誉，轻快的情绪加上合成器的复古味道成就了他们的实验音乐。而作为乐队的首张专辑，《Oracular Spectacular》同样是因其强烈的实验性而充满魅力，MGMT能轻易做出Flaming Lips式的前卫摇滚味道，而在部分原声作品中MGMT又能演绎出Beck式的搞怪味道。
MGMT-TimeToPretend

歌词
I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life.
Let’s make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I’ll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We’ve got the vision, now let’s have some fun.
Yeah, it’s overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend

I’ll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I’ll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I’ll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I’ll miss the boredem and the freedom and the time spent alone.

There’s really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we’ll get a divorce
We’ll find some more models, everyting must run it’s course.

We’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

9. Duffy’s Rockferry

在四个星期前的英国流行音乐单曲榜中，来自威尔士的女歌手Duffy凭借她的处子单曲《Mercy》一举夺取了桂冠，随后，Duffy开始引起更多歌迷的关注。本周，Duffy的处子作《Rockferry》终于上市，在这一周的英国专辑榜中，这张《Rockferry》成功地空降冠军宝座。据英国专辑榜官方的统计显示，《Rockferry》是进入2008年之后英国唱片市场上最畅销的专辑，上市首周共售出了约18万张，比本周前十名当中其他九张专辑的销量总和都要多。
Duffy - Rockferry

duffy - rockferry

i’d move to rockferry,
tomorrow
and i’d build my house, baby
with sorrow

i’d leave my shadow,
to fall behind
and i wouldn’t write to you
‘cos i’m not that kind

the midnight trains are boarding
all wrap up 8s
i pick my load and i fill my truck
before it’s too late

i leave the stars to judge
my every move
i’m not going to think of you, oh
i’d get the blues

there’s no sleep on the journey
away from time
a bag of songs and a heavy heart
won’t make me down

i’ll give it all my strength and my mind
i’ll make this decision with or without

i’d move to rockferry,
tomorrow
and i’d build my house, baby
with sorrow

i’d leave my shadow,
to fall behind
and i wouldn’t write to you
‘cos i’m not that kind

rockferry, not that kind….

10. Gnarls Barkley’s Going On

Gnarls Barkley的二人组合很容易让人想起另一队美国Hip-hop乐队“流浪汉”（Outkast），同样是两位颇具才华的乐手，组合在一起更有一加一大于二的效果。Gnarls Barkley是由制作人Danger Mouse和多哥裔的灵歌歌手Cee-Lo Green组成。Going On》再次找回快节奏，合成器做出的悠远音效伴随说唱的快节奏在快慢中找到了最好的切合点。作为先行单曲发行的歌曲《Run (I’m A Natural Disaster)》可算是专辑中最“出类拔萃”的作品，在其中就能体验到从福音到说唱，再从灵歌到流行的转变，而与前作中的单曲《Crazy》相比较，虽然在流行性方面逊色不少，但是就其歌曲质量来说依然保持了高水平。

i’ve seen it with my own eyes
how we’re gettin’ otherwise
without the luxury of leavin’
the touch and feeling of free is
intangible technically
something you’ve got to believe in
connect the cause and effect
one foot in front of the next
this is the start of a journey.
and my mind is already gone
and though there are other unknowns
somehow this doesn’t concern me.
and you can stand right there if you want
but i’m going on
and i’m prepared to go it alone
i’m going on
to a place in the sun that’s nice and warm
i’m going on
and i’m sure they’ll have a place for you too oohoohoo
anyone that needs what they want, and doesn’t want what they need
i want nothing to do with
and to do what i want
and to do what i please
is first of my to-do list
but every once in a while i think about her smile
one of the few things i do miss
but baby i‘ve to go
baby i’ve got to know
baby i’ve got to prove it
and i’ll see you when you get there
but i’m going on
and i’m prepared to go it alone
i’m going on
may my love lift you up to the place you belong
i’m going on
and i promise i’ll be waiting for you oohoohoo
freedom is all over me
still i try i never know what to do
don’t follow me…
