Train really knows how to make funky tracks while keeping it an acoustic sounding. This song is just so great, and the "Drive By-y-y-y-y" is so catchy!
While there is a good possibility that Gotye might be a one-hit wonder, we all can agree they gave us one of the most iconic songs of the new decade. Just everything about it is perfect. Definitely one of the ultimate favorites.
Ok, after 124 Songs that in one way or another made their mark in 2012, 89 Artists from 11 different genres, a variety of style and diversity....
NOW, I am proud to announce....
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)
Call it generic, too pop or "another empowerment song". On a personal level, this song really inspires to keep on going in life and live it to the fullest. The amount of impact this song had on a lot of people this year, it's really amazing. Plus, it always helps to have an amazing vocalist slay the lyrics and own it. So congrats to Kelly Clarkson and "Stronger" for being the #1 Song of 2012!
I want to thank everyone so much for following my very first countdown, hope y'all enjoyed it and I can't wait for next year for even more amazing countdowns!!
