JAPOY'S BEST OF 2012:
TOP 100 SONGS: 85-81
| SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: Electra Heart
RELEASED: 03.20.2012
LABEL: 679, Atlantic
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
At first I really ignored this track thinking it is not worthy to listen. When I heard this on the radio, it’s a bit irresistible that I got hooked to it. Primadonna reminds me of a combination of Gwen Stefani and Katy Perry’s vocals whenever I listen to it.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Sadly this song did not do well in the charts and I found myself having a hard time liking it. The good thing for this single is it managed to enter the top ten in my countdown that enables this to chart as high as #84.

RELEASED: 11.11.2011

Evanescence is one of the rock bands I looked up way back with especially with their classic hits. Sadly, their releases on their self-titled album were forgettable including My Heart Is Broken.

RELEASED: 10.01.2012
LABEL: Big Machine
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
The 2nd single from Red, Begin Again is one of the beautiful tracks from the record. I also love the video which is shot on the beautiful city of Paris. This tells a story of a girl from moving from heartbreak and being ready to start again.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Will.I.Am teams up with pop princess Britney Spears for this infectious club track. I didn't quite like it at first but it gradually grown on me as time goes by. This is also a rare moment where we see Britney doing features. Sadly, Britney won't be my #1 this year; let's see next year.
