Alright back to the good songs.

I just switched around my Top 40 last night, but now I'm completely sure of it and it is perfect.
40. Lady Gaga- Born This Way
Everyone seemed to be disappointed with this song in 2011, citing the two main reasons as it being too similar to "Express Yourself" and its somewhat insensitive attitude towards gays, Asians, Mexicans, and so forth. However, I feel like the only reason for this is that everyone's expectations were so high; if she had just released it without saying ******** about it being her best single ever, and the album being the album of the decade, people would have been perfectly pleased. It wasn't one of my favorite singles from her, but after the mess that was "Alejandro", I saw this as a welcome return.
This is the second of three songs by Lady Gaga on the chart.
39. Bruno Mars- Grenade
After smashing hard with the modern classic "Just the Way You Are" in 2010, Bruno Mars immediately dispelled being labeled as a one-hit wonder with the equally epic "Grenade". People were constantly saying it paled in comparison to JTWYA, but personally I thought it was every bit as good, if not better. The most memorable part of the song was likely the video; when I think of "Grenade", I picture Bruno dragging a piano around town just to get his lover's attention.
This is the last of three songs by Bruno Mars on the chart.
38. Red Hot Chili Peppers- The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie
If this song was not from such an amazing band as RHCP, I doubt I would have placed it as high on the list.
Stadium Arcadium was a fantastic album, and "Dani California" and "Snow ((Hey Oh))" were likely my two top tracks of 2006. So, I wasn't surprised when I found "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" to be ever-so-slightly lacking. It just seemed a little ordinary and safe, and not to the RHCP's full potential. However, it still featured a pretty rocking bassline, and the somewhat confusing yet epic lyrics that the band was known for, and despite it not living up to my admittedly high expectations, I couldn't help but love it.
This is the only song by Red Hot Chili Peppers on the chart.
37. Lady Gaga- The Edge of Glory
Coming off of the misguided flop "Judas", it was crucial that Lady Gaga get a successful third single, and so came the very interesting move of releasing "The Edge of Glory", only a month after "Judas" and before the album release. However, any doubts I had about the song were immediately erased as soon as I first heard it. She wrote the lyrics in ten minutes while she was drunk and mourning over a family member's death, and to me that made them all the more powerful. The saxophone hook served as an unintentional tribute to the late great Clarence Clemons. And personally, I wasn't too turned off by the video, I completely get why she did what she did, and she came back full-force for "Yoü and I".
This is the last of three songs by Lady Gaga on the chart.
36. Lady Antebellum- Just a Kiss
I'm not a huge fan of country, but there's always these one or two country songs every year that become huge guilty pleasures, and this was one of them. It definitely had everything necessary to become another huge crossover smash for Lady A: country, yet with a decidedly pop and soft rock feel, and being that they were already established in the genre after "Need You Now", I wasn't worried at all for it. And it delivered, by debuting in the Top 10 on the Hot 100, reaching the Top 25 on Pop, and still Top 35 on the Hot 100 after 33 weeks. Plus, the video was very cute, and I loved its story.
This is the only song by Lady Antebellum on the chart.
