Next update will be tomorrow. Here are the hints for the top 8 (in no particular order):
- Two Grammy Awards nominees this year for best new artist.
- A female singer that I used to hate, but know I love.
- The greatest comeback of the year (in a collaboration that was also in another single from the same artist this year).
- Two canadian artists that unexpectedly became mainstream this year.
- A song with a music video that talks about the past.
- A song that was in many radio stations from different genres in the US, and it's not "Blurred Lines".
Any guesses?
