1. Avril Lavigne - "What The Hell"
I feel like I'm such a predictable pushover for Max Martini productions at this point, especially since last month's #1 here was "Raise Your Glass," but I was kinda surprised at how much I liked this since I hated "Girlfriend" and haven't even really enjoyed an Avril single since her first album.

2. Slash f/ Fergie - "Beautiful Dangerous"
When Slash showed up for BEP's halftime show at the Super Bowl and Fergie sang "Sweet Child O' Mine," all I could think about is that I wish they'd performed their actual current single together instead of pulling out that overplayed oldie, this song is kind of awesome.

3. Fantasia - "I'm Doin' Me"
Haven't heard this nearly as much as the single that preceded it but it sounded really great when I did hear it.

4. Jimmy Eat World - "My Best Theory"
I totally trashed this on Singles Jukebox when I first listened to it, and lamented it as part of JEW's continuous post-Bleed American slide as a singles act, but then it gradually started to sound kind of big and swaggering and monolithic.

5. Ginuwine f/ Tank - "Heaven"
I like how Tank has these very simple, ethereal backing vocals that bring to mind a similar role he played on Aaliyah's "Come Over." Kinda starting to look forward to Ginuwine's new album, although also in part because it's awesomely named Elgin.
