As of February 27, 2010, these are my top 10 favorite songs. My 2010 birthday week finds a Christian song still at #1, albeit this time sung by a singer whose native tongue is not English. I’m also stoked because Monica is back on my chart for the first time in years, and Janet Jackson returns too, albeit this time as a songwriter, with Iyaz’s “Solo,” which samples her 1993 #1 hit, “Again.” (Toni Braxton...

And finally, guess what? I can only understand two songs in the Top 10. lol Okay,...
