I guess I slept through halftime this year, but here are my favorite songs that came out this year so far. (Who knew my list would be topped by the 20-years-later comeback single from a band that no one Stateside outside of John Peel Show fanatics had ever heard of – or that the guy from Erasure and the guy from Depeche Mode would even put a dent in my chart? Ahhhh, pop music.)
