Hey guys, it's been a long , cold, and snowy week, but I'm home from work, and it's time for my top-100 tunes for the week. This week Katy Perry makes it three week at number-one, while Irish band the Script (pictured above) move within the top-10. Former big hits by Richard Vission and Taylor Swift drop out, while tracks by J786, Martin Solveig, and Robbie Williams make the biggest moves (jumps of 10+ places highlighted in red ). Link-O-Rama is still in effect, so you can click on the highlighted name of any of the artists below to go to their website for more information, clips, tour dates, and more. Let the shoveling begin!

Now that I got the ball rolling, here's the second part of my recap of the best of last year's biggest pop hits in the US. #11: B.o.B featuring Bruno Mars - Nothin' On You (from the CD The Adventures Of Bobby Ray ) Hot 100 peak: #1 Money quote: "Beautiful girls all over the world, I could be chasin' but my time would be wastin'" "Nothin' On You" was a double introduction, more so to singer Bruno Mars than to rapper B.o.B. A classic soul chorus and a pleasant romantic rap flow that LL Cool J would kill for today. #12: Enrique Iglesias featuring Pitbull: "I Like It" (from the CD Euphoria ) Hot 100 peak: #4 Money quote: "My girlfriend's downtown and I'm all alone, your boyfriend's on vacation and he doesn't have to know" Who knew it would take the Jersey Shore to reignite Enrique's career? This ode to screwing being your partner's back somehow became a fist-pumping anthem. Pitbull's assist as well

Hey folks, it's a col Sunday night, so I wanted to get going with my recap of the biggest hits of 2010. It was a year that rock took a backseat to teen-oriented dance-pop (as opposed to boy-band pop of a decade ago) and hip-hop styled one-offs. I'm going to take each genre on subsequent posts, but it's fitting to start with the 100 biggest songs on Billboard's pop chart from last year. 1. Ke$ha - "Tik Tok" (from the CD Animal ) Hot 100: #1 (9 weeks) Adult Top 40: #14 Dance Club Play: #11 Dance Airplay: #1 (5 weeks) European Hot 100: #1 (6 weeks) UK Singles: #4 Money quote: "Before I leave I brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack 'cause when I leave for the night I ain't comin' back".... It's only fitting that the biggest hit in the US this year represents the mood best of American pop music in 2010. Take the punk-lite attitude of Pink or Lady GaGa, mix it with a Disney-bop dance beat and process it within a minute of its life with Auto-

Hey folks, it's the new year, and it's time for my first top-100 tunes for this year. This week Pink spends a second week at #1, while the Black Keys (pictured above) hang on in the top-5. Tracks by Bruno Mars, Erika Jayne, and Florence + The Machine make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places marked in red ), while former big hits by Michael Buble, The Ting Tings, Kylie Minogue, and Enrique Iglesias drop out.
