Jennifer Lopez (feat. Pitbull) — "Dance Again"
Even though it is a carbon copy duplicate of J.Lo's "comeback" single On the Floor, you can't deny the infectiousness of this single. As soon as you hear it on the dancefloor, it's good times. On a personal note, this was by far the most played song I heard at Pride in Chicago.

Bei Maejor (feat. Waka Flocka Flame) — "Lights Down Low"
Little mama want her hair pulled! Ahh! This was my jam! The production, the catchy, stupid lyrics, I lived for this song. It would've been killer with another feature but Waka's unintelligible verse fits the urban club atmosphere of the track. Get into it. Bei Maejor is a highly underrated artist. I love him!
Ohh la la la! Sorry but Azealia Banks is the hottest femcee out there right now. Her EP 1991 was one of the best albums of the year. It even sh*tted on some full length albums released by other female rappers this year. And it was like what 4 tracks??
Y son las cosas pequeñas/ Un te quiero/ Un te amo (un te amo)...Such a sweet song! 2012 was the year I discovered Bachata. Prince Royce, Romeo Santos...that's some good music.
Since 2009, I've been a HUGE Kid Cudi fan. After 4 years, it still remains the same. I love how Cudi has gone back to his roots with this track. Has me excited for that new album next year. CUDI 4 LIFE!
I'm typically not the biggest Katy Perry fan but POM was definitely a good song for her. I could relate to the lyrics so much especially when I was going through a difficult period earlier in the year. A lot of people dismiss this single as forgettable but I still enjoy it.
"I never knew love could feel like a heart attack"...God I love Trey Songz. His singing and performances might be mediocre but his songs are amazing. The production on this single is perfect. He definitely deserved that recent GRAMMY nomination.

Nicki Minaj (feat. 2 Chainz) — "Beez In the Trap"
"I beeeeez in the trap, beez, beez, in the trap"...oh Nicki, Nicki, Nicki...what an interesting year she's had. Of all her 145 singles released in 2012, Beez In the Trap was certainly one of my favorites from that album. It's so repetitive that it becomes stuck in your head whether you like it or not.
