This song marked one of the very few times when I believe the public at large got it right. Not only was this song the biggest hit of 2007, it was one of the best of 2007. It reached #1 in 25 countries. It spent six weeks at #1 in the US, the 2nd longest of the year, and 10 weeks in the UK, the longest of the decade so far. Ladies and gentlemen, the #1 pick for Trey's Top Songs of 2007 is...


"Umbrella"- Rihanna featuring Jay-Z
Writers: Jay-Z, Tricky Stewart, The-Dream
Producers: Tricky Stewart, The-Dream

Like it or not, this song was everyone, and it deserved to be. This song broke Rihanna out of dance-pop starlet and into international superstardom. Like I said last year, she has a knack for picking really good songs that work well for her limited range. I've said that a great song doesn't need a singer with a huge range, and "Umbrella" is the perfect example. Mark my words: this will go down as one of the greatest pop songs ever.
