BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
One of the odd collaborations of 2012 is between B.o.B and Taylor Swift. Both Of Us was surprisingly good and eventually became a moderate hit. B.o.B provides the rap verses while Taylor simply provides the simple yet irresistible chorus part.

Jennifer Lopez teams up with Flo Rida with the energetic track for Goin' In. Though this single flopped in the charts, I still find this one catchy to listen. Good enough to make an appearance for my list. This is Jennifer's first entry and Flo Rida's second.
