Hall of Songs has chronicled the history of popular Western music since 1951, and after nearly three years, has arrived at 2010. It's a year of "indie" breakthroughs from artists such as Beach House and the Black Keys, and of mainstream smashes from those such as Katy Perry and Rihanna.

Settle in and listen as we give you our top-12 songs of the year. Note: No voting until the next Veterans' Committee episode, which we hope to drop before 2024.
