Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 2010
Billboard publishes annual lists of songs based on chart performance over the course of a year based on Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems and SoundScan information. For 2010, the list for the top 100 Billboard Hot 100 Year-End songs was published on December 8, calculated with data from December 5, 2009 to November 27, 2010. At the number-one position was Kesha's "Tik Tok", which stayed atop the Hot 100 for nine weeks. This achievement made Kesha the first female artist in the history of the chart to top the Year-End Hot 100 with a debut single.
Kesha's single "Tik Tok" from her debut studio album Animal came in at number one, spending nine consecutive weeks at number 1. Three other singles from her debut also made the Year-End Hot 100, as did one by 3OH!3 on which she was featured.
Pop singer Katy Perry has two singles within the top 20, "California Gurls" and "Teenage Dream", both of which topped the Hot 100 charts.
R&B singer Usher has four singles on the year's chart, two being in the top 25: "OMG" at number five and "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" at number 22.
Singer Lady Gaga has four singles in this year's chart, led by "Bad Romance" at number eight.
"Tik Tok" is the debut single by American singer Kesha, who co-wrote the song with its producers Dr. Luke and Benny Blanco. It was released on August 7, 2009, as the lead single from her debut studio album, Animal (2010).
