guest Post from Private Label Radio VP, Andy F.

Hello friends:

My clients and I exchange a lot of top 10 lists this time of year. Usually record label folks try to "out cool" each other with obscure tracks by fashionable artists, but this year I'm limiting myself to charting songs and no more than 2 from any genre.

Here are 10 songs that got under my skin in 2006:

Alternative
The Adventure - Angels & Airwaves
Starlight - Muse

Country
Not Ready to Make Nice - Dixie Chicks

Electronic
Hide and Seek - Imogen Heap
Red Flags and Long Nights - She Wants Revenge

Pop
Put Your Records On - Corinne Bailey Rae
For You I Will (Confidence) - Teddy Geiger

R&B/Soul
Be Without You - Mary J. Blige

Rock
Woman - Wolfmother

Soundtrack
And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going - Jennifer Hudson (from Dreamgirls)

If you feel like sharing, I'd love to hear what rocked your world in 2006! You can make up your own rules!
