I've never seen the song's charm so succinctly articulated. Preach, sis.

It's one of the best pop songs period. But I don't think it deserves the #1 spot on this list. A more acclaimed song like Royals, Get Lucky or Rolling in the Deep should have it.

qorl this whole list is subjective anyway. What would be the point of the writer deferring to critical groupthink, particularly when two of the three of those songs you listed are actually objectively garbage?
