I liked What Are You Waiting For? but it reminded me of Neon Jungle's Trouble too much.
I think people hate XO because it is very pop while the rest of BEYONCÉ follows a more urban/ R&B flare. Similar to hoe people are currently hating on Nicki's The Night Is Still Young. I love XO.

Ain't It Fun
Paramore
Peak: 1 || Weeks: 7 || #1: 1 Week
Top 3: 1 Week || 3x Platinum
Chart Run: 5-6-6-6-OUT-1-6-10 Don't go crying, to your mama, cause you're on your own, in the real world This is Probably Paramore's best single and definitely one of their best songs . I'm hppy it's their most successful single in the US but it could have smashed worldwide .
Last Year: Anna Kendrick - Cups (When I'm Gone)

Goodness Gracious
Ellie Goulding
Peak: 1 || Weeks: 6 || #1: 3 Weeks
Top 3: 4 Weeks || 4x Platinum
Chart Run: 1-5-OUT-2-1-1-8
I loved this straight away when Halcyon Days was released. I couldn't ask for a better music video but it's too bad this underperformed in the UK. The fact that Ellie's label released Beating Heart in the US instead of this . This is another amazing song froduced by Greg Kurstin .
Last Year: Drake - Hold On, We're Going Home (feat. Majid Jordan)
#7
Dark Horse (feat, Juicy J)
Katy Perry
Peak: 1 || Weeks: 6 || #1: 2 Weeks
Top 3: 2 Weeks || 4x Platinum
Chart Run: 1-5-OUT-1-5-5-5
My second favorite song from Prism (behind Double Rainbow ). I got used to Juicy J's verse after a while but the rest of the song is perfect . The music video is funny but the live performances with the dancing are hilarious .
Last Year: Pitbull - Timber (feat. Ke$ha)
