Maroon 5 makes workers "more productive." A new study carried out by online music concierge service Songza discovered that half of respondents believe the group's hit single "Moves Like Jagger" makes them do better at work, while 42 per cent of those surveyed rely on Gotye's "Somebody I Used to Know" to give them an early morning boost.

Most Desirable Woman Emmanuelle Chriqui

The year has barely even started, but Canadian actress Emmanuelle Chriqui has already been named the Most Desirable Woman of 2010.
