This is a look at my Top 10 songs for the week ending March 3, which is of course off considering weeks don't end on Monday.

No. 10: Jeff Healey Band, "Confidence Man"

Last Week: N/A

Everything I've ever heard about this guy is that he was one of the nicest musicians around. He died over the weekend at the age of 41, but little did he know that I've been on a blues kick of late. This tune was one of his best.

No. 9: One Republic, "Stop and Stare"

Last Week: N/A

I would have bet money that One Republic's second single would suck. I would have lost. This is a good track, proving they can exist without Timbaland. In fact, dare I say this is one of the best new tunes of the year.

No. 8: Linkin Park, "Shadow Of The Day"

Last Week: 8

This song will be on this list for the foreseeable future.

***

No. 7: Ray J w/Yung Berg, "Sexy Can I"

Last Week: 6

I really, really thought this would have gotten more airplay than it has. Gut hunch: This single has about two weeks left in it to get fire hot.

No. 6: Jordin Sparks w/Chris Brown, "No Air"

Last Week: 7

Unlike Ray J, Jordin Sparks and Rihanna's new boyfriend, Chris Brown, have gotten radio play this week. While I am not ready to declare Sparks an Idol success just yet, there are a number of critics who are this close to eating their proclamations from May 2007 when Jordin won Season 6.

So far, her music trajectory -- chartwise -- is on par with Kelly Clarkson's, which could make Sparks Idol's fourth massive success, after Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry.

No. 5: Erykah Badu, "Honey"

Last Week: N/A

Dallas, Texas, in the house ... Best R&B song of 2008. Bar none.

***

No. 4: Sara Bareilles, "Love Song"

Last Week: N/A

Bareilles has no formal training, but guess what: Neither do I. When you got it, you got it -- and this woman has it.

***

No. 3: Rascal Flatts, "Winner At A Losing Game"

Last Week: 1

Like I've said for weeks now, this is a song gone big from the wrong era. This should have been a hit in 1982. Great song.

***

No. 2: Sean Kingston, "Take You There"

Last Week: 5

One of the best produced pop songs of the past five years, this radio smash is sticky, gooey and rich. Too much could make you sick, but there is no chance only one listen will do.

***

No. 1: Maroon 5, "Wake Up Call"

Last Week: 3

These guys aren't merely a catchy pop, soul, funk band stuck in the wrong era. This is a band that produces the best pop music of a generation. The best grooves. The best melodies. The best lyrics, and I mean really terrific lyrics. This one is an early candidate for 2008 Song of the Year honors.
