The final week of 2010 brings the 34th No. 1 song of the year, Neon Trees' "Animal." It's the 11th charttopper this year from a group; duos accounted for seven, while the remaining 16 belonged to solo performers. Of the groups to hit No. 1 in 2010, two country acts were the hottest: Lady Antebellum took "Need You Now" and "Our Kind of Love" to the top, while the Zac Brown Band went to No. 1 with "Free" and its collaboration with Alan Jackson, "As She's Walking Away." Neon Trees could join this clique of hot groups if "Wish List" continues its chart climb; that song moves 33-29.
Country singer Jason Aldean has not had a Top 40 crossover until this week, as a team-up with the first American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, enters at No. 39. "Don't You Wanna Stay" marks Clarkson's first appearance since "I Do Not Hook Up" went to No. 13 last year.
Meanwhile, Enrique Iglesias notches his third Top 40 hit this year with "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" at No. 40. Like his other two hits, this one is a collaboration -- this time, with Ludacris and DJ Frank E. "I Like It" featured Pitbull, while "One Day at a Time" featured Akon. (A fourth track, "Heartbeat" featuring Nicole Scherzinger, was chartbound for six weeks but never cracked the Top 40.)
So ends another chart year. Enjoy the Top 100 of 2010 and we'll see you in 2011. Happy New Year!
