#4: Rihanna - Umbrella
I will honestly admit I'm a bit sick of this song. And I'm pretty sick of the "ella ella ay ay"s that I hear whenever I play this. But no other song this year was so simple and yet so perfectly produced. It's a four minute tribute to devotion and love, and Rihanna fucking kills it. I would have liked to have seen what Britney or Mary J. Blige would have done with it, but I get the feeling that Rihanna really was the perfect person for this song.
Here's one of the eight-million covers done of "Umbrella", this time by the Italian pop-punk group Vanilla Sky.
