Vh1′s Countdowns are based on record and radio sales, guys. If they weren’t up there, they’re not on there.

i really wish bad romance was on here or alejandro
Where’s Down- Jay Sean ft. Lil Wayne?! That song was epic!! The video was sexy too.
Where’s This Afternoon by Nickelback? That was a CLASSIC video. It should’ve most DEFINITELY been on the countdown. Truthfully, my favorite video of 2010 was Can’t Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus. That was a sexy video.
i’m surprised that bad romance wasnt on there. i mean…telephone? bad romance was much better and had so many views.
I have one question:
WHERE THE HECK WAS FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE? Are you joking?!
WHERE IS ANY JUSTIN BIEBER, WHERE IS WIZ KHALIFA BLACK AND YELLOW, WHERE IS LIL WAYNE? VH1 IS SOOOOO GAY
