The Best Songs of 2009

Capping the series of year end posts, let’s deal with the best songs of 2009.

There were a lot of albums released this year, and every album released, should have at least one “it” song. This list I have compiled is not based on sales, or anyone else chatting in my ear. The only thing in my ear was the music itself. People’s taste in music is subjective – but you guys should take me as an authority on this subject anyways (joke) – So the way I chose these songs, is based on what got the most airplay in my mp3 player.

Number 10 – PBN featuring Miss Pooja “Aashiq”

If there is one thing that the UK Bhangra industry in 2009 may be known for, it’s the rise in fame of Miss Pooja. Seems like everyone loves her. Everyone except me. But she still made the list – with PBN’s production skills of course – due to the fact this one song had a huge effect on the dance floors across the world.

Number 9 – Northern Lights featuring Ashok Gill “Nakreh”

This was an awesome debut song, and video for Northern Lights. I’ve talked enough about how good this album is, so enjoy the video.

Number 8 – Twin Beats featuring Jaswinder Daghamia “Twins Tappe”

I still can’t get enough of this track, the dhol intro is just too sick.

Number 7 – Jus Ritz featuring Raj Kaul and RKZ “Nehio Nibhani”

You may be surprised with this selection, but like I said in the intro, this track got crazy airplay from me. I was impressed with Ritz’ first track “Tere Na Te Glassy,” but when this track came out, it was like “whoa!” RKZ and Raj Kaul smashed it, and the video is a positive piece of work as well.

Number 6 – DJ Dips featuring Ashok Gill “Ek Gera”

Look at that, the vocals of Ashok Gill make the list twice. This track by DJ Dips did not get the video treatment. Quite surprising since it’s the best song on the album.

Number 5 – JK “Pat Liyah”

JK and Tru-Skool have made a killer combination, and although we’re still waiting on a full album release, this song held me over just well. I was mad at whoever made the decision to slowly release just singles after singles, but now I’ve changed my mind. These days, variety is the spice of life, and listening to one artist for ten songs straight get’s a little boring.

Number 4 – Dark MC featuring Jaswinder Daghamia “Chori Chori Takna”

This track is a monster, Dark MC gave us some great tracks a few years ago on “It’s Getting Dark in Here,” and although this album I feel, was a letdown, the one track you would find yourself continuously rocking out to is “Chori Chori Takna” with vocals provided by Jaswinder Daghamia. If you haven’t heard it, by all means go and search for it. I can’t post the video due to the lovely games MovieBox like to play.
