5. Random Axe - Random call
Cool song and cool video.
4. Joker feat. Jessie Ware - The Vison (Let me breathe)
Great dubstep.
3. Tv on the radio - Second song
My favourite Tv on the radio song since "Wolf like me".
2. Charles Bradley - The world (is going up in flames)
Almost as great as soul gets. Its a hugh shame we havn´t heard an album from Charles bradley until now - when he is 62 years old. But you are never too old to make great music!:)
1. Lycke Li - I follow rivers (The magician remix)
The Magician´s remix of Swedish star Lycke Li´s I Follow rivers must be the greatest remix in years. So unbelieveabely great! It will take something really, really special to knock this song off the throne for the "best song of 2011"-title. Lycke Li rules right now!

Top 30 of 2011 - so far - place 10-6
10. Frankie & the heartstrings - Fragile
Released already in late 2009 as a single, but not avaliable on an album until this year, as their debut album was released. Therefore this great pace shifting song is available to pick to the top 30. And the tenth spot it sure deserves.
9. The Naked and Famous - Young Blood
If you like MGMT you probably like this too.
8. About Group - Your´e no good
Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip decided to start a new project with a lot of blues and soul in the songs. And this is the best song from that new album.
7. Hercules and love affair - My house
If this doesn´t get you movin on the dancefloor, I don´t know what.
6. Syket - Syket Disco
Great Swedish band and I really, really recommend this album.

Top 30 of 2011 - so far - place 20-16
20. Pusha T - Raid
Really cool hip hop song. Ring ring...
19. Anna Järvinen - Lilla Anna
The Swede-Finn with the beautiful voice has made an equally beautiful tune from her latest album.
18. Joan as police woman - The magic
Those who have listened to a couple of her albums - as myself - appreciate her a lot. But Joan as police woman´s Punk rock R´n b is still so underrated. Deserves a lot more praise from critics and music fans.
17. Cults - Abducted
Catchy tune that may very well climb on this list as they year closes to an end in December. It just grows and grows every time I hear it. Well made video too.
16. Tune-Yards - My country
Creative and playful song. For those who like Vampire weekend, but still wants to hear something more then them.

25. Battles - Futura
Really cool song that it´s impossible to not get up and move your feet to.
24. Cat´s eyes - Cat´s eyes
The Drumming Cat likes cats. And of course the cat´s eyes too.
23. Smith Westerns - Weekend
One of the earliest godd releases of the year. And it still sounds great. Timeless music.
22. Jenny Wilson - Work
One of my personal favourite acts. On her latest album "Blazing" she has made new versions of her songs from the previous album "Hardships" plus a couple of new songs. "Work" is a cover of a Bob Marley song and one of the new great soul and gospel-inspired tracks on her latest album.
21. Peter, Bjorn & John - Second Chance
Peter, Bjorn and John continues to deliver new hits and this is certainly no exception.

Top 30 of 2011 - so far - place 30-26
A little more than half the year has passed and it´s time to sum up the true highlights of these six months. I have placed my personal favourites from 30 to 1. In each blog post I will present five of those songs. Only one song per act. We begin with place 30 to 26.
30. Tennis - Marathon
Catchy perfect pop.
29. Autisterna - Sov
Swedish band who made this lovely tune.
28. Destroyer - Chinatown
Canadian act with this beautiful tune
27. Fleet Foxes - Helplessness blues
Hailed by the critics and they sure deserve it - and of course also holds a place on this list.
26. Mohammed Ali - Postkodsmiljonär
Swedish hip hopper with foreign background. It might be hard to understand what he is rapping about, so just listen to the great beat. The title actually menas "post code millionare", referring to the "post code lottery" show.
