On the first year of a new decade, 2010 brought forth some great musical memories to our ears. We experienced several breakthrough artists doing huge numbers. We also saw several established artists continuing their trends of musical dominance. This year was indeed a year to remember the music.

Of all the top artists in 2010, Nicki Minaj was probably the most active. She was on virtually everyone's tracks... from Trey Songz to Jay Sean to Sean Kingston. She also released her debut album "Pink Friday" which contained several of her own hits, from "Your Love" to "Right Thru Me".

Another breakthrough artist this year was Ke$ha, who blew up the airwaves with song after song from "Your Love Is My Drug" to "We R Who We R". Her combination of dance & hip hop has been widely accepted by her fans, not only on the radio, but in the club as well.

The next breakthrough artist actually started his career in 2009, but has been featured on many songs this year as well as releasing his 2nd studio album. Drake is a hot commodity in the music industry this year. He has been featured on songs from Rihanna to Lil Wayne.... and all of them are hits. Drake has a great future ahead of him.

The year 2010 also saw the return of many of our favorites from a few years ago. Pitbull found himself featured on numerous tracks from Enrique Iglesias to Usher as well as releasing a new album. T-Pain also put in some work this year and his "auto-tuned" voice was heard on the radio quite a bit, especially after the summer months. T.I. was released from prison and wasted no time getting back into the studio and dropping a barrage of hits from "I'm Back" to "Got Your Back".

So, in honor of this great year in music, I've created a 2 hour, iPod friendly tribute to the artists & songs that made this such a great year. Quick Hitzz 2010 features all the artists mentioned and many many more. Be sure to check it out. You won't regret it.
