JAPOY'S BEST OF 2012:
TOP 100 SONGS: 80-76
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: Torches
RELEASED: 12.02.2011
LABEL: Columbia Records
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Despite struggling to overcome the one hit wonder status, Foster The People released the interesting Call It What You Want. This single in my opinion could have at least earn as much success as what Pumped Up Kicks received.

PEAK POSITION: 07
DEBUT: 12.03.2011 |

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Good Girl is the only entry by Carrie Underwood on my list. This country-rock single talks about warning a good girl about her ex-boyfriend, saying that he is actually no good, and that she is better off without him.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
First of the many entries by British-Irish boy band The Wanted on the list. I find this song catchy and sexy but at some point I have second thoughts whether I like or dislike the falsettos on the chorus part.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
I love most of Lifehouse's singles like You And Me and Hanging By A Moment; and having a Natasha Bedingfield as a feature for this single made this one clicked for me. It's just like what happened to Jet Lag last year.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
It took me awhile to discover and eventually like this song even though I always hear this on the radio. I may not be a fan of alternative rock bands but Imagine Dragons proves again this is worth listening to.
COUNTDOWN STATS:

PEAK POSITION: 07
DEBUT: 10.27.2012 |
