Top Singles of 2012 (per Sound Opinions Message Board)

Here's a list I submitted like a week ago for their Singles poll. This is a list, but it also is not by any stretch an accurate list of  what I felt were the absolute BEST SONGS OF 2012, because it was only just what I voted for in their poll. And SOMB end of year poll is restricted to songs that were

a) released as an actual single albeit digital or hardcopy cd, lp ("7. "10 or "12 etc)

b) an official music video was made of the song

Now, I'll fully admit, I stuck in a few that did not technically fall under either of those categories, but I at least regarded as a single since the artist had the song available for download in some fashion.

I'd link up videos and whatnot, but I'm not really looking to use the amount of time to track those all down right now. I'll say, most of these can be found on Youtube or Bandcamp (or both). Or by just using Google of course.
