47 – Cascada – Evacuate The Dancefloor
48 – Bananarama – Love Comes
49 – White Lies – Farewell To The Fairground
50 – Dolly Rockers – Je Suis Une Dolly

It’s no surprise that Lady Gaga has 4 of her songs in the Top 50. It’s definitely been “her Year” to rise to stardom. I’m quite shocked at the lower placing of the Black Eyed Peas’s smash hit “I Gotta Feeling”. I would have placed that higher than the lonely depths of number 42.

Let me know what you think of this chart, what songs were missed and are there any shocks to this?
