So I've thought of a new rotation theme, which will actually span multiple rotations. When the new year had just passed I was reading a lot of “Top Ten” lists of 2008 - eg. top movies, top songs. On a lot of forums and blogs, I also saw a lot of lists of “top ___ songs of 2008”, etc. I'll be doing my own version, not limited to songs of 2008 but just in general (so as long as it fits the category, it doesn't matter when it was released). There will also be a finale rotation that will be for a “best album” and some other best/most categories.

I'm interested in hearing what you think - you don't need to post a full list of 10 songs, just any songs that you think deserve to be included in these lists. They will be based only on my opinion, not statistics, but I'd love to hear your opinions. The rotations won't just be 10 songs, I will also include some other songs that almost made the list.

If interest in these themes isn't great, I might only do a couple of the categories.

Here are the categories:
- Ballads (this will be the rotation this weekend, so I've already picked most of the songs for it)
- Catchiest/Best Pop Songs [Korean, Japanese, & Mandarin]
- Rock Songs [Korean, Japanese, or Mandarin]
- Vocal Masterpieces [as in, songs where the vocalist(s) is/are amazing. any language.]

Finale rotation:
- individual songs/albums/artists, not lists of ten.
- Japanese, Korean, & Mandarin only.
Best album:
Best instrumental song:
Best theme song:
Most original/unique song:
Most underrated song:
Most underrated artist:
Best current song:

Two songs for you:
Truth - Yuna Ito
A hopeful ballad. Yuna Ito's voice is smooth and soft, yet strong enough to hold the melody. Although fairly predictable, it's quite a pretty song.

I Want You - Kelly Clarkson
Another song from Clarkson's new album, All I Ever Wanted. A fun, bright pop song with cute riffs and a sun-kissed beat. Clarkson's confident, breezy voice fits the song perfectly. Extremely catchy. <3
