As 2010 draws to a close, the J-14 staff reflects back on our favorite songs from the year:

"We R Who We R" by Ke$ha
"This song is just so catchy and immediately puts me in a good mood!" --Editorial Assistant Rachel Sheehan

"Firework" by Katy Perry
"All of Katy's songs are catchy, but I especially love the message in "Firework." I dare you to listen to it and not feel instantly empowered!" --Editorial Assistant Ashley Spencer

"Hey, Soul Sister" by Train
"I love this song, and still am not sick of it." --Photo Assistant Katelyn Mullen

"Dancing On My Own" by Robyn
"It's got a great danceable beat and tells the story of how to keep on dancing when you see your crush dancing with someone else! And because more people need to hear her music here in the US!" --Associate Art Director Erik Jacobsen

"Airplanes" by B.o.B featuring Hayley Williams
"I'm obsessed. It's one of those songs I haven't gotten sick of no matter how many times they play it on the radio, and Hayley's voice sounds amazing on the track." --Assistant Editor Emily Krauser

"Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry
"I always loved this song -- but I fell in love with the song when Glee did a cover of it. I haven't been able to stop listening to both versions since." --Associate Editor Kim Messina

"Holdin' On" by Rooney
"It was love at first listen when I heard the first song off the new Rooney album, Eureka. More than a decade together and they're releasing some of their best music yet!" --Editor-in-Chief Rachel Chang
