100 BEST SONGS EVER · #97 - 100
♫"Sit it right below my navel and watch what I do, and that's my favorite angle. My legs are numb now. Your loving be giving me chills."♫ | 100 · KELLY ROWLAND f/ LIL WAYNE, "Ice"
Debut Date: December 22, 2012
Weeks on Chart: 6 Weeks
Peak Position: #07
X Factor judge Kelly Rowland finally cracks up into the Top 100 with the steamy collaboration opposite Lil Wayne. I wasn't actually a big fan of the song until a friend of mine constantly plays it during our road trips. Though Ms. Rowland seems to release a bunch of singles these years, she still can't give us one that could par with "Stole".

2011: JESSIE J, "Who's Laughing Now"
2010: JASON DERULO, "The Sky's The Limit"

♫"People like us, we've gotta stick together. Keep your head up nothing lasts forever. Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten."♫ | 99 · KELLY CLARKSON, "People Like Us"
Debut Date: June 1, 2013
Weeks on Chart: 8 Weeks
Peak Position: #10
An anthem courtesy of the original American Idol. Despite showcasing her signature vocal prowess, the song never really stood out for me. Maybe it lacks the charisma of her previous hits. After "Stronger", I actually believe the follow-ups were a bit weak. I just hope she comes back impressively after her pregnancy. On the other note, she looks great in the video.
FLASHBACK
2012: REGINA SPEKTOR, "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)"
2011: BAD MEETS EVIL f/ BRUNO MARS, "Lighters"

♫"Losing him was blue like I'd never known. Missing him was dark grey all alone. Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met."♫ | 98 · TAYLOR SWIFT, "Red"
Debut Date: July 6, 2013
Weeks on Chart: 4 Weeks
Peak Position: #12
Taylor Swift compares love and heartbreak with my favorite color. I actually think this is one of the standout tracks off her recent album. The lyrics were awesome. The melody was great. The country elements were there. However, I was over it when it got released - that's why it flopped so bad on my countdown. Plus, the live video did not actually help. Maybe we just need a new album.
FLASHBACK

2010: JOHN MAYER f/ TAYLOR SWIFT, "Half Of My Heart"

♫"I'm a rocket to the sun. I'm a heartbeat on the run. That's what you've done to me. I'm a bullet I can fly. When you kiss me I could die."♫ | 97 · SAMANTHA JADE, "What You've Done To Me"
Debut Date: December 29, 2012
Weeks on Chart: 4 Weeks
Peak Position: #10
Samantha Jade debuts on my yearend list with her debut single after her X Factor Australia stint. I actually cannot remember how I came across Ms. Jade, but I am actually grateful to have discovered her. It's seldom for me to listen to Australian music but I think this girl definitely got the charm. This one's such a very catchy song and the follow-up were good as well. Way to go, Samantha!
FLASHBACK
2012: CHRIS RENE, "Trouble"
2011: CHRIS BROWN f/ LIL WAYNE & BUSTA R., "Look At Me Now"
2010: NATASHA BEDINGFIELD, "Touch"
2009: 3OH!3, "Don't Trust Me"
