The end of the year is approaching, and the accolades keep piling up for some of our favorite artists. This time around, Time magazine is passing out kudos for the top songs of 2010 with Atlanta native Cee Lo Green holding down the top spot with his NSFW ode to the one that got away.
While his reign at the top didn’t come as a surprise, the second spot certainly did. The energetic Janelle Monae was the runner-up with her hit “Tightrope,” which further strengthens her claim as a true rising star. Other notables to make the cut were Kanye West for “POWER” and Drake for “Find Your Love.”
