 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: Up All Night
RELEASED: 11.11.2011

One Direction appears once more this time with the underrated single Gotta Be You. I easily liked this song after a couple of listen and the winter concept of the video adds more emotion to the song.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 4
PEAK POSITION: 14
DEBUT: 07.28.2012 |
90. ONE DIRECTION “Gotta Be You”

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Rita Ora makes her first appearance on my list with her #1 single in the UK for R.I.P. The song was written by Drake which was initially offered to Rihanna but eventually went to Rita after being rejected. Well, it did work for her.

 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: O.N.I.F.C.
RELEASED: 04.23.2012
LABEL: Atlantic, Rostrum
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
I'd say I prefer this single rather than Black And Yellow. Wiz Khalifa delivered a good hip hop track that gained enough longetivity in the Hot 100. This is his second appearance and first as a solo artist on the list.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 4
PEAK POSITION: 13
DEBUT: 06.30.2012 |

The bigger the bill, the harder you ball. Well I'm throwin' mine, 'cuz my money long...

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
I've been hearing this song yet I don't know the title. When I found out that this is a Calvin Harris song, I was surprised that he is the one singing this. It really worked for my pleasure and I got hooked on this for quite some time.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
The Mexican melody at the start of the song got me interested with this one. It managed to spend a couple of weeks in my countdown and peaked inside the top ten. This is the first entry by Train on the list.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 6
PEAK POSITION: 10
