I need Tears Dry On Their Own, Love Is A Losing Game, and Set Fire to the Rain to go.

So the next one is either an Adele elimination, or maybe a Florence one.

14.
Adele - Set Fire to the Rain
Average Rate: 8.578
Highest Score: 10 (13x)
Lowest Score: 6 (3x)
UK Chart Peak: #11
US Chart Peak: #1
Ah yes. One of the only songs in this entire rate to not only do better in the US than in its home country, but to top the chart - grouping Adele with a very small but impressive and/or (Madonna, Whitney) modern (Fergie, Rihanna x2) list of women to have three singles from the same album go to number one. Set Fire to the Rain was written by Adele and Fraser T. Smith, and invokes purposefully meaningless phrases to suggest a renewal of sorts after a bad breakup.

Although promotion was
very limited, it had no problem going top ten in almost fifteen countries, and shooting straight to number one in five - including the United States, where it stayed at the top for two weeks.
Fun Fact: Adele says the inspiration for the song came "in the middle of the night when I got up for a wee…"
