Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

in no order, my top 10-ish singles (well, songs) of the year with 2.5 months to go (ok, I lied, there's a very clear #1; the rest are in no order):
#1 missy elliot "work it"
tim mcgraw "angel boy"
dj lance lockarm "s'washyawart"
me'shell ndegeocello "earth (ben watt lazy dog remix)"
me'shell ndegeocello f/talib kweli "hot night"
dixie chicks "landslide"
madonna "die another day"
freelance hellraiser "a stroke of genius"
willie nelson f/lee ann womack "mendocino county line"
sugababes "freak like me"

of course, my top 10 may end up looking nothing like this; that's the beauty of these things (and of having an occasionally self-indulgent public forum thereof).
