Song of the Year

Estelle

Estelle – "Thank You"

The second single from Estelle’s third album, All of Me, features a beautiful sitar sample and arguably the British singer’s sweetest lyrics and vocal performance.

John Legend

John Legend feat. Ludacris – "Tonight (Best You Ever Had)"

TheThink Like a Man soundtrack single blasts off with Legend’s breathy vocals, a brash Luda verse and a funky four-on-the-floor groove.

Trey Songz

Trey Songz – "Heart Attack"

Led with a synth-heavy electro-soul beat and Songz’s cascading melodies, this jam knocked down doors for Trey’s fifth album Chapter V.

Tyrese

Tyrese – "Stay"

Tyrese’s beautiful ballad, boasting vocal harmonies and soaring harp lines, is one of his best hits ever.

Usher

Usher – "Climax"

This gorgeous electro ballad from Usher’s Looking 4 Myself is next-level soul and features the singer's finest falsetto work and sparse, pulsing production from Diplo.

Wale

Wale feat. Miguel – "Lotus Flower Bomb"

Wale landed the biggest hit of his career with help from Miguel’s stratospheric hook, smooth soul production and, of course, his own nimble flow.
