This piece of audio **** just goes to show that even legends can **** up sometimes, as evidenced by the second most talented and successful artist in history teaming up with her felonious ex-boyfriend/abuser to record the worst song of all time. Literally too many reasons this thing sucks to name. Next.
Note: For the purposes of this countdown, the word "single" is used loosely. While most of the songs listed did receive an official release of some kind, others were held back by a number of factors. To avoid punishing these songs while maintaining a sense of exclusivity, in order to be listed here a track must have attracted some kind of attention outside the context of its parent album.
Poor K$, she was set to appear on the big list until I realized I forgot something major 5 seconds ago.
I apologize to anyone who truly expected her to reinvent pop music, but as it is the song is already a step in the right direction. Basic? yes. Catchy? yes; but as of right now it has outlasted its projected shelf life by a margin of several months with no signs of getting worse. And with Ke$ha, that's all we can really ask for.
A delightful little burst of synthpop. As someone who, like many, was ignorant to the majority of her work outside of "Lights," this served as a good entryway to her newest album. Nice lil shriek towards the end.
Very unique. Very raw. Very inspiring. Unfortunately I wasn't able to listen to their debut album in time for this countdown, but this leaves me with hope for them.
Rags-to-riches -- with several twists along the way. Expertly produced and presented with massive amounts of on-record personality, he never forgets to keep it serious no matter how grand or ridiculous his claims become towards the end of the song. SURPRISINGLY sweet.
Eww, I like a song by an English-speaking boy band. Maybe it's because just by listening to the song you would never be able to tell that, but either way, it's a slick pop record that grew on me throughout the year. And i c u with that song title.
but Payphone is amazing 
and Boyfriend is a guilty pleasure 
waiting for more
