#90:Neon Hitch / Rain On Me If we kissed a little longer, would your head be out of the clouds?
This is possibly one of the cutest pop songs in my library. It's so calm and cool, and it perfectly displays what makes Neon unique. The bridge is a rain dance-esque drumbeat breakdown and it's so great, a track that made me really start to love Neon.

#89:Karmin / Brokenhearted Felt the jones in my bones when you were touching me, uh oh
When I didn't listen to this song myself it was on the radio, which I loved this year. Karmin, though mostly hated here, has really got a unique and very good sound about them. This track is undeniably catchy and just plain good! Excited for their 2013 work.

#88:Avril Lavigne / Headset I got my head set on California; fly away tomorrow, won’t even warn ya
This unreleased GEM makes me more mad than Ke$ha's Shots On The Hood Of My Car being scrapped. This song tells a silly punk complete Avril story about leaving home and becoming a big star. It's perfect, and someone remind me why it's not anywhere to be found? B-side?

#87:Eva Simons / I Don't Like You You ain't what I want, and time will never work this out
This Zedd-produced record is ahead of its' time and extremely underappreciated. It's a total smash, beautiful melody, excellent production, amazing vocals. Eva has what it takes This song > all other EDM pop on the radio right now. Take Over Control slayed my chart last year.

#86:Crystal Castles / Transgender Nothing in place of catalysts, and you'll never be pure again
This track has that suggestively odd and misleading title that CC pulls off so well (i.e. I Am Made Of Chalk, Courtship Dating). I immediately fell in love with the track when I first listened to the album, it's so excellently intricate. Everything everyone loves about CC.

#85:Ke$ha / All That Matters (The Beautiful Life) We're made in stars, we're up in space; now in the dark, come kiss my face
As generic as this song may be, it's still a great reflection of the party rockstar girl that Ke$ha is, but in a pop record. Plus, it's impossible not to sing along to. Not the strongest choice, but this song would even slay as a single. It's easily in Max Martin's top 3 tracks for 2012. But not Ke$ha's.

#84:Neon Hitch / Bad Dog Beg be a good dog, or I’ma put you down bang bang like a mad dog
This song... this song. Easily one of the best dirty sexual songs I've ever heard. Trumps Love U Betta in my valuable stan opinion Not in the smash, way, but as a whole it's just good, especially as an album track. The bassline and auto-tune bump The auto tuned woof

#83:Rihanna / Diamonds You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy
As much as I don't want to admit it, I really did love this song this year. It got old quick, but it's such a great jam. Wasn't a fan of the video either, tbqh. Benny Blanco and Stargate producing a song together is clearly going to be a good result. This is my final Unapologetic entry, but not final Rih.

#82:Christina Aguilera / Red Hot Kinda Love I feel a little shy 'cuz you're my, you're my kind of guy, oOoOOoh
Critics highlight this track on the album for a reason, it's so, so good. It's ideal Xtina, if you'd ask me. It's pop bliss, melodic perfection and not-recycled production. It's a shame it'll probably always go unnoticed and under-rated. I never get sick of this BOP.

#81:Lana Del Rey / Bel Air Baby, you've got a flair; for the violentest kind of love anywhere out there
This song is actually stunningly gorgeous. The orchestral and ballad-like production and the incredibly poetic lyrics, the soft ideal Lana vocals. It's one of the best tracks she's ever done. So glad they made it a single, or promo single... whatever she's doing

I definitely think Karmin can bring it even harder in '13. Shame Hello basically flopped
Glad you like Bad Dog and I Don't Like You, as well! Great taste match-up!
