14. CL – “HELLO BITCHES”
Quote:

As CL’s upcoming American solo debut dangles tantalisingly on the horizon, our obsession with Korea’s most badass superstar – 2NE1’s singer/rapper Lee Chae-rin – is quickly reaching boiling point. While her earlier collab with Diplo, RiFF RAFF and OG Maco (“Doctor Pepper”) gave us a taster, it’s the banging, dance-floor thud of “Hello Bitches” that got our insides flipping. Flitting between English and Korean dialect, and rapping over Middle Eastern melodies and lurching bass, CL sticks a (literal) middle finger up to basics. “Hello Kitty getting hella old,” she raps, “Want me to love them long time, and I tell ‘em no.” CL might have caught our attention as the Rihanna of K-pop style, but she’s since evolved into an artist that defies comparisons.

Rih also made the list (for rihannafan):
7. RIHANNA – “BITCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY”

“Don’t act like you forgot / I call the shots, shots, shots.” Rihanna’s instantly recognisable voice slices through the track’s bouncing trap beats like a knife to a finger. “Bitch better have my money! Bitch better have my money!” RiRi might not have dropped an album in three years (ANTI, where are you?), but she’s arguably bigger than ever, and this uber-confident, tongue-in-cheek revenge anthem served up a stark reminder of her powers. Coupled with a brilliantly controversial music video dripping in cult film references, already-iconic style moments and, of course, blood – “Bitch Better Have My Money” marked a timeless addition to the Rihanna canon.
