Carmen Rasmusen Herbert's top 10 songs of 2011

As another year comes to a close and the compulsive list-maker in me has taken over planning for the new year, I thought I'd set aside my list of resolutions and spend some time on something a little more fun: music!

So, here are my top 10 songs of 2011.

(I know there are a lot of females listed here, but what can I say? The ladies rocked it this year!)

Whether or not these singles were the best of the best, they were ones I sure couldn't stop listening to.

Note to parents: These selections were made based on the radio-friendly versions. At least one of these songs, OneRepublic's "Good Life," has a version that contains one expletive, so make sure to look for the "clean" or "radio-friendly" versions if you decide to download.
