The ending of one year and the start of another is always a time for reflections, either to make that (mostly likely to fail) promise to yourself that this upcoming year, you will go to the gym. Or it's spent compiling your favorites of 2010.
Since at this point, the top 10 lists have been painstakingly researched by everyone on the cyber-sphere, and I’m sure you’ve seen multiple art lovers cite their top films, television, celebrity break-ups, Tweets, of 2010, I thought I’d save you, readers, the trouble and just put the best ones here.
So here is a list of the Top Lists of 2010 Tops (how’s that for redundant?). And I am making no attempt to be impartial. But I hope you, readers, will find it entertaining and informative. Because really, you already know what is your personal top 10 films/albums of 2010, why do you need someone else to tell you?
For only these sources can tell you what were the top public apologies of 2010.
