6. Cee Lo Green, "F**k You (Forget You)," 3,632,000. This smash is the year's best-selling song by a male solo artist. It's also the year's best-selling song that failed to reach #1.

It won a VMA Award as Video of the Year and is a Grammy finalist for Record of the Year. "Firework" sold an additional 2,332,000 copies in 2010. It was that year's #28 song. (If its sales hadn't been split between two years, it would have ranked #2.)

16. Bruno Mars, "The Lazy Song," 2,733,000. This laid-back ditty reached #4 in June. It was Mars' fifth top five hit.

17. Bruno Mars, "Grenade," 2,676,000. This song topped the Hot 100 for four weeks in December and January. The song, darker in tone than Mars' previous hits, was his third #1.

20. Lupe Fiasco, "The Show Goes On," 2,559,000. This zesty song reached #9 in May, becoming Lupe Fiasco's second top 10 hit and his highest-charting hit to date. The song sold an additional 189K copies in 2010.

21. Pink, "F**kin' Perfect," 2,457,000. This was the year's second-biggest hit with the "F word" in its title. The song, Pink's follow-up to the chart-topping "Raise Your Glass," reached #2 in January. It was her 11th top 10 hit.

22. Britney Spears, "Till The World Ends," 2,439,000. This song, Spears' follow-up to the chart-topping "Hold It Against Me," reached #3 in May. It was her 10th top 10 hit.

23. Jason Aldean, "Dirt Road Anthem," 2,400,000. This is the year's best-selling country song. It's the only song by a male country solo artist to top the 2 million mark in digital history. It reached #7 in June, becoming Aldean's first top 10 hit.

24. LMFAO, "Sexy And I Know It," 2,399,000. LMFAO proved they were more than one-hit wonders when this novelty song reached #2 in November. It stayed in the runner-up slot for five straight weeks, the longest run for a #2-peaking song since Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" was runner-up for seven weeks.

25. Hot Chelle Rae, "Tonight Tonight," 2,372,000. This energetic blend of power pop and bubblegum reached #7 in July. It was the group's first top 10 hit.

Songs near the bottom of the list are vulnerable to falling out of the top 25, because a few songs are moving up fast. They include "Stereo Hearts" by Gym Glass Heroes featuring Adam Levine (currently #27 with sales of 2,333,000) and "We Found Love" by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris (#30 with sales of 2,251,000).

What does it say about me that I have never heard or heard of any of these songs? I have barely heard of one or two of the performers. Anyone else "brave" enough to admit the same?

Best regards,

Ditto! Since I have fallen out of the strip club circuit I'm exposed only to TV commercial gingles. How sad is that?

Adele is the first British artist to have the year's best-selling album since Spice Girls scored in 1997 with Spice. 21 debuted at #1 the week ending Feb. 27. It has logged 13 weeks at #1, more than any other album since the Titanic soundtrack had 16 weeks on top in 1998.

2. Lady Gaga, Born This Way, 2,033,000. This is the best-selling album so far this year by an American artist. This will be Gaga's highest ranking to date on the year-end chart.

3. Michael Buble, Christmas, 1,958,000. This will be the fourth time in the past five years that a Christmas album has ranked among the year's top five albums. Josh Groban's Noel was #1 for 2007, Andrea Bocelli's My Christmas was #5 for 2009 and Susan Boyle's The Gift was #5 for 2010. Buble's album debuted at #3 the week ending Oct. 30, 2011. It has spent the past four weeks on top selling over 447,000 this past week alone.

4. Lil Wayne, Tha Carter IV, 1,796,000. This is the best-selling rap album so far this year and also the best-selling album by a male artist. (Buble may well snatch the latter title.) Tha Carter III was the #1 album of 2008. The new album debuted at #1 the week ending Sept. 4. It spent two weeks on top.

5. Jason Aldean, My Kinda Party, 1,419,000. This is the best-selling country album so far this year. It's also the best-selling album so far this year that was released in a prior year. The album sold an additional 687,000 copies in 2010, which made it that year's #31 album. It debuted and peaked at #2 the week ending Nov. 7, 2010.

6. Mumford & Sons, Sigh No More, 1,358,000. This is the best-selling album by a group or duo so far this year. The album got a boost from the group's performance with Bob Dylan and the Avett Brothers on the Grammy Awards in February. sold an additional 626,000 copies in 2010, which made it that year's #36 album. It debuted at #127 the week ending Feb. 21, 2010. It peaked at #2.

7. Jay-Z/Kanye West, Watch The Throne, 1,154,000. This is the first collaborative album to rank among the year's top 10 albums in the Nielsen SoundScan era. The album debuted at #1 the week ending Aug. 14. It spent two weeks on top.

8. Beyonce, 4, 986,000. This is the year's best-selling (non-rap) R&B album. Beyonce's three previous solo albums all finished in the year-end top 10. This will either just make, or just miss, the year-end top 10. 4 debuted at #1 the week ending July 3. It spent two weeks on top.

9. Lady Antebellum, Own The Night, 978,000. The album debuted at #1 the week ending Sept. 18. This will be the second year in a row that Lady A has had an album in the year-end top 10. Need You Now was #2 for 2010.

10. Justin Bieber, Under the Mistletoe, 948,000. This would mark the first year that two holiday albums will be in the top ten for the year. And with two more weeks of holiday sales to count before the end of the year, it's likely that Michael Bublé and Justin Bieber will move up one or two notches for the year.

Just bubbling under the top 10:

11. Katy Perry, Teenage Dream, 927,000. This is one of three albums to rank among the top 20 albums of both 2010 and 2011. (Taylor Swift's Speak Now and Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday are the others.)

Without further ado, here's the low-down on the 30 best-selling songs of 2011. (Or, in the inimitable words of Pitbull, "Say no more, get on the floor.")

1. Adele, "Rolling In The Deep," 5,813,000. This song topped the Hot 100 for seven weeks, beginning in May. It was Adele's first top 10 hit.

12. Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull, "On The Floor," 3,308,000. J.Lo's comeback smash reached #3 in May. It was her 10th top 10 hit; her highest-charting hit since "All I Have" (featuring LL Cool J) reached #1 in 2003.

13. Chris Brown featuring Lil Wayne & Busta Rhymes, "Look At Me Now," 3,178,000. This collabo reached #6 in April. It was Brown's 10th top 10 hit; his highest-charting hit since "Forever" three years ago. It topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart for eight weeks.

14. Rihanna, "S&M," 3,040,000. This frisky song hit #1 in April, thanks to an assist from Britney Spears. It was Rihanna's 10th song to reach #1.

20. Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine, "Stereo Hearts," 2,760,000. This excellent record peaked at #4 in October. For 14 weeks that I bet he'll always remember fondly, Levine had two songs in the top 10.

21. Katy Perry, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," 2,717,000. This song hit #1 in August, making Perry's Teenage Dream only second album in history (following Michael Jackson's Bad) to generate five #1 hits.

25. Lil Wayne, "How To Love," 2,541,000. This heartfelt ballad proved that Lil Wayne is more than a rapper. It peaked at #5 in August. It was his 15th top 10 hit.

26. Hot Chelle Rae, "Tonight Tonight," 2,512,000. This energetic blend of power pop and bubblegum reached #7 in July. (I admit it: it's a personal guilty pleasure.) It was the group's first top 10 hit.

27. Pink, "F**kin' Perfect," 2,497,000. This was the year's second-biggest hit with the "F word" in its title. The song, Pink's follow-up to the chart-topping "Raise Your Glass," reached #2 in January. It was her 11th top 10 hit.

28. Britney Spears, "Till The World Ends," 2,492,000. This song, Spears' follow-up to the chart-topping "Hold It Against Me," reached #3 in May. It was her 10th top 10 hit.

29. Lady Gaga, "The Edge Of Glory," 2,325,000. This energetic track debuted and peaked at #3 in May. It was still in the top 10 on June 18, when Clarence Clemons, who played sax on the track, passed away.

30. OneRepublic, "Good Life," 2,324,000. Is this ballad pretty or generic? Or both? You decide. The loping, easy-tempo tune peaked at #8 in July, becoming the group's second top 10 hit.
