This means Sophie Ellis-Bextor's "Bittersweet" doesn't make the cut! Sorry Soph. A song with an asterisk indicates that the song has a Very Awesome Video which you should go and watch asap.

Is the Nicki Minaj album any good? Spotify has it listed as being by 'Nicky Manaj' which means it will RUIN last.fm and so I'm physically unable to listen to it.

Top Minaj guest spot action:
- Mariah song listed above ("ROSCOES on his knees with the SNOT NOSE")
- Ludacris' "My Chick Bad" ("It's Nightmare on Elm Street and GUESS WHO'S PLAYING FREDDAYYYY")

she on a diet but my POCKETS EATING CHEESECAKE
actually did a Best of Minaj list of youtubes the other day too, here. Songs of the year is too hard bur if I had to rank my favourite Minaj guest spots of 2010 it would go:
1. "Monster" ("then imma start rocking gold teeth and fangs")
2. "Bottoms Up" ("RIMRIMRIMRIM")
3. "Fuck U Silly" ("Yo Cassie, you a bad bitch, imma call you Lassie") (and "I don't wanna brag, I Louis Vuitton bagged him/Hopped out the Jag, proceeded to sh-shag him/Thought he was a queen, I dr-dr-dr-dragged him/Back to the room and whipped out a Magnum") (AND "giddy up, giddy up! now wake Diddy up, Diddy up, Diddy up!")
4. "Shakin' It 4 Daddy" ("I'm flyer than an eagle that's balding/I throw it back line HAIRLINES THAT'S BALDING")
5. "Woohoo" ("left from Jamaica, go a foreign CONTOUR")
Sadly I haven't felt any of her solo stuff since the still-awesome "Massive Attack" ("Tom tom like in Lebanon, hotter than in Pakistan, click-click-click Young Nick the atomic bomb, yeaahhhh - see her than you lick your tongue"), kinda nervous about the album :/
(iirc "Shutterbugg" has an awesome video too!)
