100 BEST SONGS EVER · #64 - 61
♫"Can't find a mirror to see what I see in you, but I will follow you until you see it, too."♫ | 64 · BEFORE YOU EXIT, "I Like That"
Debut Date: July 13, 2013
Weeks on Chart: 4 Weeks
Peak Position: #02
Ultimately one of the cheesiest songs of 2013 though it channels a lower class version of "What Makes You Beautiful". I admit I am one hell of a boyband fan but appreciating these guys' music took me some time. Yes, the song has the charm but it fails to gain recall. Those insights changed when a friend of mine kept singing this track while we were on our vacation. There I realized that this song was good.

♫"At the same time, I wanna hug you. I wanna wrap my hands around your neck. You're an a**hole but I love you, you make me so mad I ask myself."♫ | 63 · P!NK f/ LILY ROSE COOPER, "True Love"
Debut Date: July 6, 2013
Weeks on Chart: 4 Weeks
Peak Position: #11
P!nk's follow-up to the gigantic, monstrous and massive "Just Give Me A Reason". I admit, this follow-up single was extremely underwhelming. But I do understand that its predecessor was so amazing any other single would find it hard to top. This song was originally part of the wannabes but it definitely grew on me a lot during the last quarter of 2013. I realized it wasn't really disappointing at all.
FLASHBACK
2012: SNOOP DOGG & WIZ K. f/ BRUNO M., "Young, Wild And Free"

2009: BOYS LIKE GIRLS f/ TAYLOR SWIFT, "Two Is Better Than One"

♫"But I was taught to never surrender when it's hard to get up, gonna fight till I can stand and say."♫ | 62 · NICOLE SCHERZINGER, "Boomerang"
Debut Date: February 2, 2013
Weeks on Chart: 3 Weeks
Peak Position: #10
Just so you know, I've been a fan of Nicole Scherzinger. Her singles off Killer Love were extremely amazing yet underrated. "Wet", "Don't Hold Your Breath" and "Poison" were well-crafted. This one, sadly, was a bit disappointing compared to her previous efforts. Somehow, I eventually learned to appreciate this song after constant spins. It was good.
FLASHBACK
2012: BRITNEY SPEARS, "Criminal"
2011: PIA TOSCANO, "This Time"
2010: COLBIE CAILLAT, "I Never Told You"
2009: KRIS ALLEN, "Heartless"

♫"Laughing hard with the windows down. Leaving footprints all over town. Keeping faith, karma comes around."♫ | 61 · KELLY CLARKSON, "Catch My Breath"
Last Year: Wannabe #117
Debut Date: November 17, 2012
Weeks on Chart: 5 Weeks
Peak Position: #11
Here comes another re-entry on the list - from a wannabe to a Top 100 scorer. This one, I believe, is a typical Kelly Clarkson hit - pop-rock genre and amazing vocals. Yes, I instantly liked it but it never really stood out for me. However, this one really gained my attention so well this 2013. I've been hearing it everywhere!
FLASHBACK
2012: ALICIA KEYS, "Girl On Fire"
2011: P!NK, "F**kin' Perfect"
2010: ALICIA KEYS f/ BEYONCE, "Put It In A Love Song"
2009: TAYLOR SWIFT, "Crazier"
