My Top 10 Songs of 2011

Every year I do a Top 10 Albums of the Year post. Here’s this year’s. This year though, my listening habits have changed thanks to exfm. While I still consider myself an ‘album listener’, I’m also very much a ‘singles listener’ now too. So it’s only appropriate to do a Top 10 Songs of the Year post. My only criteria was that these songs could not be on any of the albums I chose for top albums. In no particular order:

Nadine by Project Jenny, Project Jan http://ex.fm/song/3di
Go Outside by Cults http://ex.fm/song/10a
Pumped Up Kicks by Foster The People http://ex.fm/song/2xc
Riding Coach by 1,2,3 http://ex.fm/song/1qw
Northern Mentality by Mathieu Santos http://ex.fm/song/4m3
Truth by Alexander http://ex.fm/song/4pa
Barracudas by The Devil Whale http://ex.fm/song/1ut0a
Ffunny Ffriends by Unknown Mortal Orchestra http://ex.fm/song/33l
Last Night at the Jetty by Panda Bear http://ex.fm/song/2yb
Bones - Male Bonding by http://ex.fm/song/4l4

Exfm Trending. Now With Extra Tremendous.

extensionfm:

Yesterday you had one choice for Trending on exfm – whatever was popular overall. While great, we knew we could do better. So, we did.

Starting today you can filter Trending.


Want to see what’s Trending just for the genre Rock? Mouse over the blue /OVERALL near the top of the exfm window and a drop down appears. Click on Rock and voila – trending just for Rock. Same thing applies for the other genres listed. You can also filter for Just Your Network (the people you follow) or our amazing Tastemakers, too.

It’s not just limited to the ones listed. You can manually fill in any genre. Place the cursor just after TRENDING/ and type in any genre you want. A handy feature – type two characters and it will suggest popular genres for you. Hit tab to auto-complete a suggested genre or keep hitting tab to cycle through possible genres based on that letter combo.

These new filter controls are incredibly powerful, amazingly flexible and will open up entire new worlds of music discovery. We hope you like them. Have at it.
