As we did last year with the year 2000, we begin our look back at 2001 with our list of our 10 favorite singles of the year. Our list was compiled using a points system similar to the one used last year, and once again, any single released during the calendar year as well as any single appearing on a 2001 album was eligible for inclusion. 81 singles received at least one vote in the poll this year; these are the top 10! (Individual contributors' lists can be found
here.)
Also, rather than providing links just to listen to each single, we've provided links to the music videos for each song, seeing as some of these videos are among the best ever made (particularly #4, #2 and #1).
So, here it is. Let us know what you think, and feel free to post your own top tens in the comments..enjoy!
