Pop Music Universe: Best Of 1010

Pop Music Universe: Best Of 1010: "

2010 wasn't the best year for some of our favorite artists, but there were some that had a fantastic year. Artists like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Eminem, and Usher dominated the charts worldwide, while some of our other favorites including Kelis, Xtina, and Ciara bombed on the charts with their recent releases. Many new artists including Jason Derülo, Willow, and Bruno Mars also made their way to the top of the charts this year with multiple single releases, while others such as Nicki Minaj, didn't live up to the hype. There were also a few impressive videos released this year such as Willow's debut video, 'Whip My Hair' and Ciara's 'Ride.' So which ones were the best of the best? Instead of doing a poll like I did in 2009, I've decided to just post my list the best albums, songs, and videos of 2010.
