Best Songs of 2010

Once upon a time, we might have gauged the best "singles" of the year just ending, but popular music circa 2010 has shifted the conversation back to the fundamental – the song. The rules have changed with the proliferation of a la carte options for curious listeners: Conventional singles are multiplied by remixes, EP samplers, demos and alternate versions, giving MSN's contributors a vastly larger bucket of tunes to contemplate. Our top-ranked songs do include some well-known hits heard on radio or seen in videos, but our contributors' submissions tell a more tangled tale of fave musical moments.

The Top 10 Best and Worst Movies of 2010

I will try to put all this into the best display of the top 1o best and worst of 2010…with a few that surprised me along the way. Also, when it comes to the worst movies, I judge them based on hype versus quality of product. Then I compare them to the top movies of the year; most of the time they do not hold very well to the best of the year, thus putting them into the worst category. Keep in mind this is also opinion; please be kind in your comments as you respond to possibly your favorite movie of the year being one my worst.
