The year in music: The odds and ends

The year in music: The odds and ends

Sure, everybody has their list of tip albums. But how do we arrange a things that unequivocally resonated in cocktail strain this year â€" like Nicki Minaj's ubiquity, a best strain we were broke to sing out loud, and a tip lapse of a year? We try to put a spotlight on some of music's other highlights here.

_____

BEST HOOK: The carol of Rihanna's "S&M" is officious nasty, so we can't repeat it here, though it's officious catchy, too. Na, na, na, na, c'mon!

BEST GUILTY PLEASURE SONG: "Tonight, Tonight" AND "I Like It Like That" by Hot Chelle Rae.

BEST USE OF NICKI MINAJ: Last year, Nicki Minaj costarred on many songs, though this year she focused some-more on her solo efforts. Her best guest entrance is on David Guetta's "Turn Me On," a destiny strike that highlights a rapper's singing chops.

BEST AWARD SHOW PERFORMANCE: Kelly Rowland's live delivery of "Motivation" during a BET Awards reminded viewers that training alongside Beyoncé for years has a plus-side: Rowland's vocals were frail and her voluptuous dance moves helped her come off like a contemporary chronicle of Janet Jackson.

BEST UNRELEASED TRACK: Frank Ocean's "Thinking About You" did not seem on his giveaway manuscript and it was never ostensible to be a single. He available a demo of a strain for thespian Bridget Kelly, though his chronicle is personal and perfect, with a Maxwell-esque falsetto breakdown.

BEST INANE LYRIC: Insert LMFAO strain here.

BEST KATY PERRY SINGLE: Katy Perry has a slew of No.1 hits, though her best strain this year was a Ke$ha-sounding celebration jam "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" It's tough not to adore lyrics like: "Think we need a Ginger Ale/that was such an epic fail."

BEST MUSIC VIDEO: Swedish thespian Lykke Li is hauntingly extraordinary in her video for "I Follow Rivers," filmed on a snowy, forlorn island. It's cinematic, thespian and classic, and by distant a best strain video of 2011.

BEST COMEBACK: While some people were tender with Chris Brown's swat on "Look during Me Now," it was Busta Rhymes who stole a uncover with his illusory flow. Did we only rhyme? Oh snap! Anyway, it was a provoke and has everybody wondering: When is that manuscript entrance out, Busta?!!

BEST REMIX: Adele and reggae? No way! But Jamie xx's remix of a British singer's "Rolling In a Deep" â€" dubbed "Rolling In a Heat" â€" is fun, epic and sweat-inducing.

BEST MIXTAPE: Ethiopian-born R&B thespian The Weeknd, who is formed in Canada, is one of a year's brightest newcomers, and his mixtape "House of Balloons" is only as good as Drake's initial mainstream offering, "So Far Gone." Must be something in Canada's water.

BEST ALBUM UNRELEASED IN AMERICA: 2011 noted a genocide of Amy Winehouse, one of music's best singers. It was also a year that birthed a new star: Winehouse's 15-year-old goddaughter Dionne Bromfield. Her sophomore manuscript "Good for a Soul" is a flawless collection of songs that strike with essence and cocktail flavors. And it rivals Adele's "21" for tip manuscript of a year.

BEST "GLEE" COVER: The songs lonesome on "Glee" are mostly stream hits on a strain charts, and that can get annoying. So it was lovely to hear a cover of k.d. lang's "Constant Craving," and there should be some-more like it.

BEST ALBUM THAT (ALMOST) NO ONE BOUGHT: we got it for free, so technically we didn't buy it either, though Panic! during a Disco's "Vices & Virtues" is an glorious CD filled with uptempo gems that are addictive, layered and theatrical. You should listen to a album, that has sole 148,000 copies given March. (Runner-ups: Ellie Goulding's "Lights" and "Charity Starts during Home" by Phonte, before of Little Brother).

BEST BEYONCE VIDEO: This pa expelled a whopping 7 strain videos in 6 months, and honestly, many of them are average. But Beyoncé is a torpedo on a dance floor, and in a "Run a World (Girls)" clip, her moves are spreading and mind-blowing. She still does run a strain world.
