		Both fans and players alike know all the sport songs by heart -- and we're not talking about cheesy tunes like 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' or 'Who Let the Dogs Out,' but rather songs heard at national sports games that encourage fist pumping and yelling; classic songs like 'Enter Sandman' and 'Get Ready For This' blasting from the PA system. So whether you are throwing a sports event party or you just need a natural surge of energy in the morning (note: listen to 'Eye of the Tiger'), check out our Top 10 Sports Songs, as rated by AOL listeners.</div>

					Sara Evans grabbed a little magic from Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum and scored her first number one since 2005 with 'A Little Bit Stronger.' Scott was one of the co-writers and sang harmony on the record. The lyrics told of a woman's ability to move on after a long relationship and it resonated with country fans who gave Evans a standing ovation when she played it at the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 3. On May 24, at the songs' peak, Sara performed it on the finale of 'Dancing with the Stars.'</div>

			The Top 10 Rock Songs of 2011 reflect really what was a mix of old and new successes over the past year. 2011 saw the return of favorites such as the <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/foo-fighters/" target="_blank">Foo Fighters</a> and <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/seether/" target="_blank">Seether</a>, while bands like <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/korn/">Korn</a> and <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/sum-41/" target="_blank">Sum 41</a> experimented -- and succeeded -- in evolving their sound. Meanwhile the demand for rising acts such as <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/adelitas-way/" target="_blank">Adelita's Way</a> proves that there is plenty of promise left to be heard in the genre. Below are the 10 songs of 2011 which became favorites on AOL Radio's rock stations.</div>

			The Top 10 Songs of 2011 contain several club-friendly high octane dance songs including favorites by <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/rihanna/" target="_blank">Rihanna</a>, <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/foster-the-people/" target="_blank">Pitbull</a>, <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/jennifer-lopez/" target="_blank">Jennifer Lopez</a> and <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/lmfao/" target="_blank">LMFAO</a>. On the other hand, indie favorites from <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/foster-the-people/">Foster the People</a> and <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/adele/" target="_blank">Adele</a> crossed over into the mainstream which suggests that the definition of what is traditionally described as "pop music" has evolved to become more expansive of other genres. 2011 comprised of many surprise hits by various acts but below we've compiled the 10 biggest songs that ran our stations over the course of the year.</div>

					Having the only debut single on the AOL Radio Top 10 of 2011 list, Foster the People rose from the indie scene in 2011 and made their own mark in the mainstream world with their hit 'Pumped Up Kicks.' The song spread like a wildfire after its debut in 2010 and as the band and the song gained notoriety, DJs across the country found the song fit nicely in playlists that also featured the likes of Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and Rihanna. 'Pumped Up Kicks' was a favorite on AOL Radio's playlists across multiple formats, which is why the song has earned it's spot on the Top 10 of 2011 list.</div>

2010 was a huge year for singles, many of which will be played for years to come, and to recap the most memorable releases, we've updated our Top Songs of 2010 lists in Pop, R&amp;B, Hip-Hop, Rock, Alternative, Country and Dance.<br />

The 10 Best <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/kanye-west" target="_blank">Kanye West</a> songs reveal the talents that took the Chicago rapper from unknown to world-famous in only a few short years. After a successful stint producing for <a href="http://music.aol.com/artist/jay-z">Jay-Z</a>, West released his debut in 2004 and immediately established himself as a powerful force in the world of hip-hop. Even though his public image has taken a few hits over the years (ahem, Swift-gate), West has continued to produce compelling and innovative work, as seen in this list of the best Kanye West songs.</div>

Melancholy songs can sometimes make you cry, but they can also bring a sense of comfort; after all, when you're feeling down, it helps to know that others feel the same way. Indie rock produces a lot of great melancholy songs because the genre's songwriters tend to pen personal, soul-baring lyrics. You can hear these and other melancholy songs on AOL Radio's <a href="javascript:launchAolPlayer(845);">Melancholia</a> station, home of the sounds of indie sadness.</div>

<a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/roger-waters">Roger Waters</a> songs, particularly his unified, album-length lyrical and musical concepts, were the driving creative force behind <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/pink-floyd">Pink Floyd </a>'s most popular records. So it's not surprising that Roger's solo work, following his 1985 departure from the band, has continued to break new ground in the long-form thematic presentation of rock music. As a result, it's a bit difficult to evaluate his work based on isolated tracks from concept-driven albums, but we think we gave it a pretty good shot. Here is AOL Radio's list of the Top 10 Roger Waters Songs.</div>

These 10 best <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/gregory-isaacs">Gregory Isaacs</a> songs reveal the smooth vocals that made him one of reggae's top singers for decades. Known as the "Cool Ruler," Isaacs was one of Jamaica's most celebrated musicians, and recorded consistently from the late '60s until well into the '00s. Isaacs died of cancer in October 2010 at age 59, but the news of his death is likely to expose a new generation of listeners to Gregory Isaacs songs.</div>

Progressive rock songs gained notoriety in the late '60s, developing out of psychedelic rock. Bands like <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/jethro-tull">Jethro Tull</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/pink-floyd">Pink Floyd</a> began to experiment with different types of sounds and styles of composition, going beyond the realms of any genre in existence at that time.  Here we bring you the top 10 progressive rock songs, rated the highest on AOL Radio's <a href="javascript:launchAolPlayer(880);">Progressive</a> station.</div>

When four teenagers from Dublin got together in the mid-'70s, they probably had no idea that someday <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/u2">U2</a> songs would be celebrated as some of the most important rock music ever made. Remarkably, frontman <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/bono">Bono</a>, guitarist the Edge, bass player Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. achieved greatness without experiencing a single lineup change in their 30-plus years together. Many of the best U2 songs captivated audiences around the world while touching on religious, social and political themes.</div>

Radio stations were playing <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/bruno-mars">Bruno Mars</a> songs before the world even knew the Hawaii-born singer's name. In early 2009, Flo Rida and Ke$ha's 'Right Round' was released, a song co-written by Mars and his production team the Smeezingtons. The next year, Mars hit the charts as a featured artist on songs by rappers <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/bob">B.o.B</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/travie-mccoy">Travie McCoy</a>, making Mars a bona fide star by the time his debut full-length 'Doo-Wops &amp; Hooligans' finally dropped in October 2010.</div>

Halloween music, like any good spirit from the netherworld, can appear in many shapes and styles. It might turn up in lyrics designed to terrorize and traumatize, or make itself known through <a href="http://www.aolradioblog.com/2009/09/17/top-10-horror-movie-tv-instrumental-songs/">creepy instrumental means</a> such as theremins, church organs and spooky sound effects. Most of all, it may celebrate or demonize the things that go bump in the night, breaking you out of your so-called safe, even-keeled life. Here's the Top 100 in Halloween Music, as rated by listeners on AOL Radio's <a href="javascript:launchAolPlayer(2401);">Halloween station</a>.</div>

The impact <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/billie-holiday">Billie Holiday</a> songs had on the jazz and jazz-singing genre is impossible to over-estimate. Holiday made her recording debut in 1933 in a band led by <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/benny-goodman">Benny Goodman</a>, and continued working up until her death in 1959. The 10 Billie Holiday songs included here are all classics, as are many others she recorded, providing a brief but vivid picture of jazz singing's greatest stylist.</div>

<div class="cldescr_text">This nugatory little love song is an upbeat number backed by <a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/teddy-wilson">Teddy Wilson</a>'s Orchestra, so the playing across the board is top notch in the classic sense of swing. Even on this early recording, Holiday's voice is in well behind the swing beat and has a conversational signature style that would only become more pronounced with age.</div>

<div class="cldescr_text"><a target="_blank" href="http://music.aol.com/artist/glenn-danzig">Glenn Danzig</a> and his appropriately-named band of horror-punk misfits released this Latin-spouting scary song on Oct. 31 as the B-side of another 'Halloween' song. The muddy, chiming guitar sound and various deep, swirling vocals create a haunting atmosphere, as they talk of werewolves, exorcisms and ancient formulas.</div>
