a-ha take on me. They unfortunately kept away from no one because of Jennifer Rush the power of love, which was the biggest selling single of the year.

Eminem ft. Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie without a shadow of doubt. Catchy verses, great chorus and it was STILL the best selling song of 2010 despite not getting to number 1.

Taylor Swift - Love Story. Very surprised to learn that this didn't get to number one as I always assumed it did.

Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend. Can't believe the song is almost 8 years old! Has aged really well!

Ballroom Blitz - The Sweet. (Mind you they had a long history of missing out on the No 1 spot))
Them aside I'd also include "Chiquitia" by ABBA and the song that inspired my username (and one of my favourite songs of all time) "Torch" by Soft Cell. |
