The last two polls barely got any votes and many of the songs were not familiar to most, including me.

But this poll of 2008 and 2009 is similar to it’s American counterparts. Which one would you vote for? And remember you may **vote for more than one.**

Eight Songs got my vote.

“Right Round” (Flo Rida featuring Kesha) and “TiK ToK” (Kesha) get perfect scores in the world-famous **Ponch8 Music Rating System** and get my votes.

In a different year, I may have also voted for “Just Dance” and “Sexy Bitch,” but a vote for these songs would imply that they’re on a par with Kesha, which they obviously are not. Tough shit for “Just Dance” and “Sexy Bitch.”
