Record of the Year Revisited: 2011

Original Record of the Year: Martin Solveig - Hello

A few months into 2011 I said that this was the only commercial record of the year to date that I actually liked.

Looking at the list of the whole year it's not the only decent Top 40 hit but I can count the number of records I like on one hand.

Are any of the other records I like better?

Not really. I do like this record but it's nothing special and wins simply because 2011 was so poor for chart music.
