JAPOY'S BEST OF 2012:
TOP 100 SONGS: 55-51
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: Girl On Fire
RELEASED: 09.04.2012
LABEL: RCA
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Alicia Keys always release a grower track, and Girl On Fire is another example. When this was released, I wasn't into it that much. After a couple of weeks, I find myself being mesmerize with the brilliance of this track. Girl On Fire is about the different achievements accomplished by a woman, and Alicia delivered the message clearly.

RELEASED: 10.01.2012
LABEL: Atlantic, Elektra
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Locked Out Of Heaven is currently my #1 song in my weekly countdown. This is good enough to chart as high as #53 in my list. Just like Girl On Fire, this one slowly grew on me up to this point where I see myself liking it that much. The 'Ooh' part throughout the song is just too addictive and can't ignore it.

 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: PSY 6 (Six Rules), Part 1
RELEASED: 07.15.2012
LABEL: YG, Universal Republic, School Boy
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
The dance craze of the year is just too good to be left out in my list. Yes, the phenomenal Gangnam Style managed to capture my attention. This probably picked up where Call Me Maybe left when it is already loosing steam. I may not be K-Pop fan, but this year, I have to make exemption only with Gangnam Style. Love it or hate it, deal with it.
COUNTDOWN STATS:

2011: CHRIS BROWN "Yeah 3x"
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: Talk That Talk
RELEASED: 11.14.2011
LABEL: Def Jam
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
We Found Love was untouchable in the last quarter of last year. The challenge for Rihanna is to follow that hit with another. Unfortunately, it did not happen with the follow-up You Da One. At first, I was not hooked at it. It became eventually one of my favorites after like a month or two thanks to my favorite radio station.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 9
PEAK POSITION: 07
DEBUT: 01.07.2012 |
52. RIHANNA “You Da One”
You the one that I dream about all day, you the one that I think about always, you are the one so I make sure I behave...
2009: PINK "Please Don't Leave Me"
2010: TRAIN "Hey, Soul Sister"
2011: BLACK EYED PEAS "Just Can't Get Enough"
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: Born This Way
RELEASED: 11.15.2011
LABEL: Streamline, Interscope, Kon Live
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Lady Gaga barely missses the top 50 with Marry The Night. Though Gaga didn't make any noise when it comes to music this year, she still managed to have one entry with this leftover from Born This Way. I must confess, I only watched the full length video once. I just hope her next era will be better and massive.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 8
PEAK POSITION: 05
DEBUT: 12.10.2011 |
51. LADY GAGA “Marry The Night”
I'm gonna marry the night, I'm not gonna cry anymore. I'm gonna marry the night, leave nothing on this street to explore...
2009: THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS "Hush Hush, Hush Hush"
2010: SARA BAREILLES "King Of Anything"
2011: PARAMORE "Monster"
