The Final Countdown... Number 9

.

The winner of Swedish Idol 2006 and his debut album included this gem of a track. It's a bit of rock with a bit of pop... I love the backing vocals in the chorus... when I was trying to decide if I really wanted to put this song in my top 10 all it took was hearing those vocals again and I knew it belonged as one of my top 10 faves this year. His album 'Echo Heart' is full of edgy rock/pop tracks and has already gone double platinum in Sweden.

Ooo, what a pleasant surprise! I'm so pleased to see this song on the list, not least because one of my favorite MySpace artists helped co-write it (I think) and recorded his own version of it...I adore his acoustic version of it. Sigh...I wish he'd let us buy that song and "Diamonds In The Dirt"...I'd kill (well, not literally) for some non-MySpace rip quality versions of the non-acoustic versions.

Sorry--sidetracked! Anyway, great song choice, as is the song below this--"Girl Overboard" is definitely one of the highlights of the album for me!
