Twenty Years of Summer (1996-2016)

2010

This was the first summer I have ever spent working at Lake Balaton, which is one of the biggest touristic sites and holiday destinations in Hungary, especially in the summer. A lot of music was centered around the football World Championship then, for example KNAAN, Shakira and Safri Duo.

Katy Perry (California Gurls), Lady Gaga (Alejandro), Eminem & Rihanna (Love The Way You Lie), Kelly Rowland (Commander), Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. (Bang Bang Bang), Flo-Rida & David Guetta (The Club Can't Handle Me), DJ Fresh (Gold Dust), Stromae (Alors On Danse), Kelis (Acapella), Gorillaz (On Melancholy Hill) and the Scissor Sisters (Fire with Fire) had been popular.

Islands by The XX, Need You Now by Lady Antebellum, Tenderoni by Kele Okereke, Better Than Love by Hurts, Dancing on my Own by Robyn were big, too.

Club hits included In The Air by TV Rock, Not Going Home by Faithless, Watercolor by Pendulum or We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool.

Nevertheless I chose the following 15 songs to make the summer of 2010 unforgettable:

1. Edward Maya: Stereo Love

2. Swedish House Mafia: One

3. Rusko feat. Amber Coffman: Hold On

4. Groove Armada & Will Young: History

5. Schiller with Hen-Ree: I Will Follow You

6. Maroon 5: Misery

7. Train: Hey Soul Sister

8. Eliza Doolittle: Pack Up

9. Kylie Minogue: All The Lovers

10. Example: Kickstarts

11. B.o.B. feat. Hayley Williams: Airplanes

12. Dennis Ferrer: Hey Hey

13. The Chemical Brothers: Swoon

14. Robert Francis: Junebug

15. Muse: Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)
