Since everyone is starting, I decided I should get started, too.
#40 "Take Care" Performed by Drake and featuring Rihanna
I chose this song because I love it’s vibe and it felt different than most of what was released in 2012. Rihanna's vocals are refreshing and Drake's rapping is flawless.

"Starships" Performed by Nicki Minaj
I didn’t like this song until recently. I suddenly use it and love the verses, I even love the dance breaks now. The chorus can be a little annoying, but I like it for the most part!
Great songs, Take Care is one of the best ballads of this year, and Starships was one of the pop anthems for 2012, maybe the summer songs of the year...
I usually am not a fan of songs that are 50%+ just music, but this an exception. It’s really awesome and I love to blast it in the car. It has a sweeping background music that I just LOVE.

"One Thing" Performed by One Direction
A little cheesy, but everybody loves a cheesy song every once in a while. Not my fave 1D song, but it’s still a bop!

"Esta Noche"
Performed by Azealia Banks
A love the rap and the techno/house-ish dance part. All around it is a very solid song. I hope this is a preview about what she is doing in the future.
