Here at WonkyPop.com, postings are never as ‘conventional’ as they may be on other music blogs and websites. I try to stretch outside of the box, digging deeper for music you’ve probably never heard of, and sometimes that rare gem from a new rising artist. I applaud indie artists, DJ’s, singer-songwriters and those who truly are doing music because it’s their biggest passion, rather than their money-maker. Rather than make a complicated list this year, offering up 2011 Wonky Pop Awards, I’ve decided to just list my Top 40 Songs. Some Billboard risers, some mashups and some leaked/unreleased songs. You may be surprised what you find sitting in the #1 spot.
