One song allowed per Primary Artist — So you won’t see two songs from the same artist, even if both were really really good. I would take the one that I think is better, and it’s the submission for that artist
These artists can still show up as a “Featured” artist in another song on this list
Song should be released between 2010-2019…so while there were some rockers that are still listened to today from the 2000s, they fall out of qualification based on their years
This is all based on my views and opinions. So some of your favorite songs will be missing, similarly with artists.
Also, a good chance I forgot a lot of songs, considering this was a 10 year period…

I’ve been doing a top Song of the Year list since 2013, but now as the 2010s come to a close it is time to do a Top list for the full decade. The rules are simple:
One song allowed per Primary Artist — So you won’t see two songs from the same artist, even if both were really really good. I would take the one that I think is better, and it’s the submission for that artist
These artists can still show up as a “Featured” artist in another song on this list

This is all based on my views and opinions. So some of your favorite songs will be missing, similarly with artists.
Also, a good chance I forgot a lot of songs, considering this was a 10 year period…
The first two songs definitely deserve to be higher on this list. But I hate the artists, so I put them on the list but dropped them all the way to the bottom.
82. Hold On We’re Going Home by Drake feat. Majid Jordan
81. Sorry by Justin Bieber
80. Despacito by Luis Fonsi feat. Daddy Yankee
79. Can’t Feel My Face by The Weeknd
78. Ordinary Love by U2
77. Bang Bang by Green Day
76. 80s Mercedes by Maren Morris
75. Lush Life by Zara Larsson
74. Sit Next To Me by Foster The People
73. Royals by Lorde
72. Hold My Hand by Jess Glynne
71. Hell No by Ingrid Michaelson
70. Bad Things by Machine Gun Kelly feat. Camila Cabello
The Kennedy Space Center, located about an hour east of Disney World, is a great place to explore some of America’s journey into space and see the historic sights where we launched man to walk on the moon for the first time.
The Rocket Garden is a nice place to wander thru, as you are surrounded by rockets from throughout the years, including the one below.
Other things to see at the main location is the Journey to Mars building and NASA Central.
These are all great little looks into history, but in order to fully experience things, you need to hop on the Bus Tour out to the Apollo/Saturn V Center.
Along the way you will see the launch viewing grounds, located across the water from where the rockets are launched from. They are far enough away that you would still feel the force from the blasts, but not too close to be any danger…although the newest rocket power may be too strong, leading them to have to move the area back.
Also you pass by the “Vehicle Assembly Building”, which is the largest one-story building in the world, as it is used for assembling the rockets before they head out through the worlds largest doors, that are 456 feet high.
Some of the things to see there:
Apollo 8 Firing Room — Sit through the actual countdown, and feel the room shake as Apollo 8 launches. This room has been preserved to still be in its original state
Saturn V Rocket — In the warehouse they have a Saturn V rocket, which is what was used to launch all the men to the moon
Snoopy — Who doesn’t enjoy seeing Snoopy the Astronaut?!
Overall, the Kennedy Space Center is overly priced as the costs approach $60 per person…and some of the stuff you see here can be viewed in museums across the country. But at the end of the day, this is a must-visit location, at least for the one-time experience, to see the actual places where history was made.
The 71st Emmy Award Nominations were recently announced, and always I have some fun going through all of them and seeing how I would vote, if they stupidly decided to give me a vote.
Drama Series – The Bodyguard — The Bodyguard on Netflix was one of those shows that kind of showed up out of nowhere, and besides for the overabundance of “ma’am” was a fantastic show. Unfortunately for it, it’s in a super crowded category, including two of my other favorites (Ozark, and Better Call Saul) as well as some of the strongest shows of the last year (Game of Thrones, Killing Eve, and This Is Us)
Comedy Series – Russian Doll — Natasha Lyonne is a godsend. She’s so undervalued as an actress, rising up in the original American Pie movies, and hitting the mainstream in Orange is the New Black, but this show, where you just get stuck in a loop of awesomeness, is my top pick of the year. Obviously, The Good Place is a great second-place option.
Lead Actor in a Drama – Bob Odenkirk <Better Call Saul> — Bob got his role in Breaking Bad, but this prequel show has strengthened his character, as we learn how Jimmy became Saul Goodman. Jason Bateman (in Ozark) would be my runner up.
Lead Actress in a Drama – Robin Wright <House of Cards> — I did not like, at all, how House of Cards took its final season, as I feel it just played towards what was popular, and didn’t do much to make itself into a great show, like some of the earlier seasons did. However, that doesn’t take away from the strong performance that Robin had as *SPOILER* President. Laura Linney (Ozark) didn’t do enough to push past Wright…but if that final scene of Ozark was any indication *SPOILER* then her role next season should put her in the running for an Emmy.
Lead Actor in a Comedy – Ted Danson <The Good Place> — Michael the Creator is one of the more subtle roles on television that people tend to forget about, but Ted Danson fits it perfectly. Michael Douglas (Kominsky Method) had a nice resurgence this year as well.
Lead Actress in a Comedy – Natasha Lyonne <Russian Doll> — See above, with Best Comedy Series, as Natasha was just a step above Christina Applegate (Dead to Me) who also shone this year, in another show that was a pleasant surprise.
Supporting Actor in a Drama – Giancarlo Esposito <Better Call Saul> — One of the harder categories that I went through. Not necessarily because all three were outstanding, but all three were good enough to fight each other for the spot. But, with that said, Gus and Los Pollos Hermanos is one of the more memorable scenes (picture his face falling off), and while that wasn’t this year, or decade (almost), it still helps him get past Jonathan Banks (Better Call Saul), and Michael Kelly (House of Cards) who got the short end of the stick at the end of House of Cards.
Supporting Actress in a Drama – Julia Garner <Ozark> — Four Game of Thrones will fight each other for votes, and Fiona Shaw of Killing Eve.
Supporting Actor in a Comedy – Alan Arkin <The Kominsky Method> — The Kominsky Method was such a subtle show that brought back some old favorites, including Arkin and Douglas, and this will be one of its winnings.
Supporting Actress in a Comedy – Betty Gilpin <G.L.O.W.> — Liberty Belle is an amazing piece of what makes G.L.O.W. a shining light looking back at the 80s. The one that would fight her is Kate McKinnon, whose numerous roles in SNL are outstanding (including those Close Encounter skits), but I don’t think a sketch comedy show should be going up against storylines and roles.
Guest Actress in a Comedy – Maya Rudolph <The Good Place> — The Judge will rule in her favor.
Competition Program – The Amazing Race — The Amazing Race has always been one of my favorite shows, for almost 20 years and over 30 seasons, so it is no surprise I would give it my vote. In the last year The Voice has gotten me intrigued, but only for the blind auditions, after which my interest just fizzles out.
Variety Talk Series – Late Late Show with James Corden — I’ve found most of the nighttime shows to become unwatchable. Either they are all political, or all sketches, either way lacking the content that they had had 10+ years ago. With that in mind, Corden is the one who’s skits I look to the most on YouTube, whether it’s Carpool Karaoke or Crosswalk The Musical
Short Form Comedy or Drama Series – Special <Netflix>
Well, the summer is quickly approaching, and the Fall lineups are out, so it’s time to take a quick peek at what might be in store.
A few of my shows ended this year, most notably Big Bang Theory, but some of the upcoming shows look very intriguing!
Full schedule at the bottom 🙂
Sunday
8:00 PM — CW — Batwoman — Batman is easily my favorite DC character, and Gotham came to a fantastic close last year. I tried Supergirl when it first started on CBS, but I didn’t follow it to the CW. Ruby Rose will play Batwoman here and it should be very interesting! — TRAILER
8:30 PM — FOX — Bless The Harts — This show takes place in the King of the Hill universe…which means I’m less likely to watch…but I’m gonna give it a try!
9:30 PM — FOX — Family Guy
Monday
8:30 PM — CBS — Bob Abishola — Chuck Lorre’s newest creation
Tuesday
Wednesday
8:00 PM — CW — Riverdale
9:00 PM — CW — Nancy Drew — From very few shows on the CW to all of a sudden a bunch of them…but Nancy Drew has always left me curious, and despite the Sarah Shahi version getting canceled before launch a few years ago, I’ll still give this new iteration a go. — TRAILER
10:00 PM — ABC — Stumptown — Cobie Smulders comes back to TVs in this fast-paced show based on a graphic novel. — TRAILER
Thursday
8:00 PM — CBS — Young Sheldon
8:00 PM — FOX — Superstore
8:30 PM — CBS — The Unicorn
9:00 PM — FOX — The Good Place
Friday
Saturday
ONLINE SHOWS
There are obviously going to be a lot more announcements for Fall streaming programming…but here is what’s on my list upcoming in the next few months:
With the streaming races heating up, the amount of content being thrown at us each week is reaching insane levels. And for every good/hit show out there, there are about 100 pieces of junk that hit our screens. And sometimes we stop and watch that junk because it entertains us.
But throw all those thoughts out the window and make Dead To Me on Netflix the next show you watch.
Christina Applegate (Jen) and Linda Cardellini (Bloodline)(Judy) are outstanding in this dark comedy, as we learn that Jen’s husband was recently killed in a hit-in-run, and she’s on a mission to find out who the driver was.
Meanwhile, Judy is going thru her own struggles, despite an intricate web of lies that she is seemingly weaving.
This show has a wonderful mix of story and comedy, as you get entrenched in their lives during the quick moving season.
I’ve heard from a few people who felt it was a little sluggish off the top, but once you get into it, it’s worth every second.
Dead To Me is created by comedian Liz Feldman, and has outstanding Executive Producers including Will Ferrell and the hilarious Adam McKay, and also stars James Marsden and the legendary Ed Asner.
By the way, should you want to hear more from Adam McKay, I would highly recommend the second episode of South Beach Sessions with Dan Le Batard, for a nice half hour discussion.
