There was a basketful that's for sure. Some that were sung beautifully, horrifically, or just not sung at all. *cough* Lipsynch! *cough* Christina *cough*
Hip-hop is straight up competitive -- booming with new artists hitting the scene each week. How many of them remain there? How many fade away after one hit? Take a look at these rising stars and decide who you think will have the longest running career.
Some people are poets. Some people are not. Some people aren’t but think they are. Some people don’t think they are poets but try to write lyrics anyway. Some people put verbal idiocy to music and have the nerve to release it. These people suck. We hate these people.

Thank you all for flexing your decision-making muscles in the first round, but it's time to move on to the Monster Singlecategory. And no, we don't mean that chick at the bar who throws herself at every living male that walks by. We mean tunes, and the videos that go with them. G'head, take your vote.
Almost every summer invariably has one song that in years after, people associate with that summer.
2003 was definitely the summer of Crazy In Love.
2005 is a bit tougher to call, because there was no massive dance/R&B hit like usual.
But I probably look back on it as James Blunt's You're Beautiful's summer sadly, Daniel Powter's Bad Day probably also has a strong case (Don't Cha probably would have been had it not been released so late).
Last summer definitely belonged to Shakira with Hips Don't Lie,
So does anyone have any predictions for this summer? I think the most likely atm is sadly Rihanna's Umbrella ( ), though I actually wouldn't rule out Maroon 5's Make Me Wonder...
