There's a British one so why not an international one. I think the nominees should have been:

Lady Gaga- Pokerface
Black Eyed Peas- Meet Me Halfway
Jay Z ft Alicia Keys- Empire State Of Mind
Shakira- She Wolf
Rihanna- Russian Roulette
Beyonce- Sweet Dreams

IMO Winner- Lady Gaga- Pokerface

I would have had Love Story by Taylor Swift in that category and possibly The Climb by Miley Cyrus but GaGa would prob win though Love Story was my number one song of last year

I'm pretty sure "Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling" would be up, considering it was number 1 for 6 months in the USA, and number 1 over here for a long time... Lmao. Yet you put "She Wolf - Shakira/Jay-Z/Rhianna, barely got in the top 5.. Where's "The Climb" "Love Story or You Belong With Me"

You Belong With Me peaked at #30, The Climb at #11. And "barely"? Rihanna and Jay-Z peaked at #2 and Shakira wasn't far off #3.

You Belong With Me may have been a big hit in America but it wasn't a worldwide smash was it?

Shadow- you mean Alicia and Jay -z!

Taz, i've always wondered that. It's crazy. Rihanna would definitely have won with Umbrella in 2008

I would have thought this year's nominees would have been:

Beyonce - Single Ladies
Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feelin'
Kings Of Leon - Use Somebody
Lady GaGa - Poker Face
Taylor Swift - Love Story

YBWM probably wouldn't have entered the top 40 if it wasn't for the Kayne incident.

And no (), I meant Rihanna and Jay-Z both peaked at #2. As in Rihanna with Russian Roulette and Jay-Z with Empire State of Mind, lol.

Hmmm Timbaland ft Keri Hilson The Way I Are may have been a massive rival, I still love that song.

Lady Gaga- Pokerface/Just Dance/Paparazzi/Bad Romance
Black Eyed Peas- Meet Me Halfway/IGF/BBP
Jay Z ft Alicia Keys- Empire State Of Mind
Shakira- She Wolf
Rihanna- Russian Roulette

Trouble with having this category is that it would basically be 'best single in the world' - but is that really relevant to the Brit awards?

Lady Gaga would have won it probs.

Are we basing this on what 5 songs sold the most or just whatever we think was the best 5 songs regardless of chart positions? because I think it would be a bit rich for you to ridicules someones taste because their favourite song barely got into the top 5.

anyway MY top 5 International songs regardless of chart positions and based on the music.. (as it should be really) are..

Animal Collective "My Girls"
Empire Of The Sun "Walking On A Dream"
Empire Of The Sun "We Are The People"
Julian Casablancas "11th Dimension"
Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Zero"
