Below is THG’s most favoritest songs of 2010. These are tracks we can’t get out of our heads, and ones that stand out most as we reflect on the past year. Before we unveil the top ten, here are a handful of disclaimers: We did not say “best,” nor are we implying this speaks for everyone. It’s just one site’s take, and we encourage you to submit your own. Yes, we are aware Ke$ha, Miley and Justin Bieber do not appear. Rihanna and Cee-Lo Green both ended up on THG’s list … and near the top to boot. Who joined them among our top ten jams of ’10? Find out after the jump! 10. Taio Cruz, “Dynamite” You will likely forget Taio Cruz’s name by this time next year. If you even knew it to begin with. But the man throws his hands up in the air sometimes. That is all. 9. Robyn, “Dancing On My Own” For those who feel the need to dance and cry simultaneously. 8. Michael Jackson feat. Akon, “Hold My Hand” Posthumous, previously-unreleased tracks are bad, more often than not. This one somehow strikes us as worthy of Michael Jackson’s legacy and message. Plus, how can you not appreciate the video they put together to accompany it? Hold My Hand Full Video: Akon & Michael Jackson 7. Kanye West feat. Jay-Z & Nicki Minaj, “Monster” For all Kanye’s non-musical headline-making abilities, he delivered a “Monster” track on My Beautfiul Dark Twsted Fantasy . Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj are great on it, too. 6. Lady Gaga feat. Beyonc

It was a great year for street albums, and Mixtape Daily salutes the street kings. By Jayson Rodriguez, with additional reporting by Hillary Crosley, Rahman Dukes, Steven Roberts and Richard Sancho DJ Drama, DJ Holiday and DJ Scream Photo: Getty Images/ MTV News The mixtape game took a shot to the heart a few years ago when DJ Drama’s office was raided by the feds. Artists increasingly opted to make mixtapes that were essentially albums, projects produced without help from DJs and comprised mostly of original material. But slowly Gangsta Grillz began populating blogs, the same way they used to populate the streets, and those sites served as the new Burkinas. In the last 12 months, the mixtape circuit has never been healthier — just look at Dram still putting out his trademark rap heat and getting his slow jam on, pushing collections by the likes of Chris Brown, among other R&B stars. DJ Teknikz helped Travis Porter ink a deal with Jive Records. And Bigga Rankin scored an exec position with Young Jeezy’s CTE. Then there’s DJ Holiday and DJ Scream: both spin doctors break acts like Bo Jackson snapped bats. Meanwhile, DJ Ill Will and DJ Rockstar have become nearly ubiquitous with their onslaught of street albums. Pay attention, as the Mixtape Daily team continues our year-end awards by saluting the Top DJs of 2010. Wax King: Bigga Rankin Bordering Blocks : Atlanta Street Credentials :
The Author at Ski Dubai Dear Pablo: How bad is indoor skiing is for the environment? I have heard of places in the Middle East where you can ski indoors, even during the summer. I have been holding on to this question for a while but I recently had the opportunity to visit Ski Dubai at the Mall of the Emirates on a recent business trip to the Middle East. In a land of countless “world’s largest” titles it is surprising that Ski Dubai is not the

Image: Retail Systems Research In 2010, 61% of US retailers surveyed by Retail Systems Research observed that green initiatives “make good business sense,” up from 49% the previous year. However, the report “Lean and Green: Sustainable Practices Are Changing Retail, Benchmark 2010” is not entirely packed with upbeat news. For example, “Retailers feel less obliged this year to pursue green initiatives as a result of consumer demand, as only 52 percent say ‘our customers expect us to act,’ down from 62 percent in 2009.” Yet even in the shadow of this downturn in customer expectations, switch-on retailers are purs… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Blaine and Kurt’s cuteness makes up for any Rachel/Finn sadness. By Jim Cantiello Naya Rivera and Cory Monteith in “Glee” Photo: FOX This week’s “Glee” went all out to promote holiday cheer — unless, of course, your holidays don’t happen to include Christmas. Well, before you run out and buy the cast’s Christmas album to tide you over for the winter hiatus, take a minute to enjoy our own little carol and sing along with the lyrics below. “Glee” has Christmas spirit Too sweet to refuse They can’t help but feel it, Even the Jews! Rachel said she made a Christmas wish, No matter that she eats gefilte fish. I guess “Glee” didn’t want any Yiddish On their Christmas album. Feh!! Christmas is for celebrating, Rachel and Finn separating. Santa’s real, there’s no debating In Brittany’s small brain. Artie wants glee club to scheme So Brittany doesn’t lose her dream. She asks Santa to fix Artie. He robot walks Insane!! Will’s riding solo Christmas Eve on his own. Kids surprise him with cocoa And take over his home. Um, it seems totally illegal and super-sketchy that a teacher would be hanging out with his students in his house. But I digress. No shocker here that Sue is a grinch, Destroys the tree and doesn’t even flinch. Her heart melts by the end, ’cause in a pinch She overhears the Glee kids sing! Blaine and Kurt are my two favorite peeps. Their duet this week was totally for keeps. Kurt declared his love and the cuteness came in heaps. I just wish they weren’t saving their big kiss for sweeps. Christmas is for celebrating, Church and state not separating. If you don’t believe in Jesus, why are you waiting? Drop out of McKinley High. I’ve got my own Christmas request: Without “Glee” I will be depressed. Gotta wait ’til February?? Surely you jest! I guess this is goodbye. Goodbyyyye! And that is “Glee”!
