I've heard so many better songs than "Applause" released this year. I'm not a big music video fanatic anymore, so I have no idea what's at the top or what's at the bottom.
We Can't Stop by Queen of Pop Miley is better than Applause.
Guns N' Roses | The Beatles | Janelle Monae | Stevie Wonder | Kanye West | Eric Clapton | The White Stripes | Paul Simon | Jimi Hendrix | Santana | The Offspring | Bruno Mars | Adele | Gotye | The Black Keys | Tenacious D | Gorillaz | Kimbra | Red Hot Chili Peppers | Pendulum| Big Bad Voodoo Daddy | Caravan Palace | Dropkick Murphys | Electric Six | The Temptations | Oingo Boingo | The Lonely Island | Rammstein | Jonathan Coulton
We Can't Stop is better than every song by any of these people. Goddess.
