Fuse Top 20 Countdown, Fuse Top 40 of the Year, Music, Television
When I’ve posted on VH1’s Top 40 of the Year, I’ve included comments on the side regarding whether or not the rankings of particular songs/videos made sense. With FUSE, there is just too much that does not make sense that it’s just not worth it to even bother with that. This Top 40 is not consistent with how FUSE’s Top 20’s have gone throughout the year, so it feels useless to attempt to correct it. (That lack of consistency must be due to the fact that this list was determined by fan voting … which makes the fact that Xtina ended up Number One even more inexplicable.) But I will include some comments to indicate something about how I feel about the song placement.
Original Version
1. Christina Aguilera – “Your Body” (see above)
2. Katy Perry – “Part of Me”
3. One Direction – “What Makes You Beautiful”
4. fun. – “We Are Young”

11. Linkin Park – “Burn It Down”
12. David Guetta ft. Sia – “Titanium”
13. Adele – “Set Fire to the Rain”
14. Rihanna – “Where Have You Been”
15. Taylor Swift – “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
16. Carly Rae Jepsen – “Call Me Maybe”
17. Drake ft. Lil’ Wayne and Tyga – “The Motto (Remix)” (was this actually a big hit?)
18. Train – “Drive By”
19. 2 Chainz ft. Drake – “No Lie” (hmm?)
20. Flo Rida ft. Sia – “Wild Ones”
21. Ne-Yo – “Let Me Love You”
22. Mumford & Sons – “I Will Wait”
23. Bruno Mars – “Locked Out of Heaven”

26. Gotye – “Somebody That I Used to Know”
27. Nicki Minaj – “Starships”
28. Calvin Harris – “Feel So Close”
29. No Doubt – “Settle Down”
30. Gym Class Heroes ft. Neon Hitch – “Ass Back Home”
31. Trey Songz – “Heart Attack” (eh?)
32. Neon Trees – “Everybody Talks”
33. Kanye West ft. Big Sean, Pusha T, and 2 Chainz – “Mercy”
34. Pitbull ft. Chris Brown – “International Love” (This song came out in 2011. And it was a hit in 2011.)
35. P!nk – “Blow Me (One Last Kiss)”
36. Tyga – “Rack City”
37. Usher – “Scream”
38. J. Cole ft. Missy Elliott – “Nobody’s Perfect” (what?)

Music
When it comes to Rihanna, a new album is an annual thing, so for me, buying the new Rihanna album is also an annual thing. With the past couple of Rihanna albums, it has also been an annual thing wherein there has been one song per album that I do not think too much of upon a first listen, but after several more listens (around when it starts to get plenty of airtime), I gradually realize just how great that song I initially overlooked is. In fact, those songs are so good as to deserve consideration among the best singles of the year. On Loud, it was “Cheers (Drink to That).” On Talk That Talk, it was “Where Have You Been?” And with Unapologetic, it appears Rihanna has already anticipated my reaction by making the song that I initially overlook but then come to love the first single – yes, “Diamonds” is a mighty fine song, and it deserves consideration among the best songs of 2012 (right alongside “Where Have You Been?”, which was released as a single in this calendar year).
