Kelly's first appearance on my list is with Catch My Breath. Taken from her greatest hits compilation, I easily got into this song after a couple of listen. It never came to my mind that she has been in the industry for ten years already.

ALBUM: Planet Pit
RELEASED: 05.27.2011
LABEL: Polo Grounds, J, Mr. 305
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
International Love was released late last year so I decided to put it in this year's list. Pitbull gave us once again another catchy dance tune where Chris Brown does the chorus. Lyrically, it's about praising girls worldwide, ranging from Brazil to Greece.

ALBUM: Push And Shove
RELEASED: 07.12.2012
LABEL: Interscope
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
After almost a decade, No Doubt is back with their latest record Push And Shove. The lead single Settle Down is a grower track that it took me some time to like. Though they might not have a strong comeback, it's nice to hear new stuff from Gwen and from the rest of the band still rocking up to this time.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 9
PEAK POSITION: 07
DEBUT: 08.18.2012 |
68. NO DOUBT “Settle Down”
But you can see it in my eyes, you can read it on my lips, I’m trying to get a hold on this...
2009: BEYONCE F/ LADY GAGA "Video Phone"
2010: LEONA LEWIS "I Got You"
2011: MIKE POSNER F/ LIL WAYNE "Bow Chicka Wow Wow"
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: MDNA
RELEASED: 03.02.2012
LABEL: Live Nation, Interscope
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
The queen of pop makes her first appearance with the erotic Girl Gone Wild. This song got my attention first on her take on Act of Contrition in the beginning. The raunchy lyrics and the auto-tuned voice somehow worked for me with this one.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 9
PEAK POSITION: 05
DEBUT: 03.24.2012 |
67. MADONNA “Girl Gone Wild”
It's so hypnotic, the way he pulls on me, it's like the force of gravity, right up under my feet, it's so erotic...
2009: MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE "Desolution Row"
2010: JASON DERULO "In My Head"
2011: ROBYN "Call Your Girlfriend"
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: California 37
RELEASED: 01.10.2012
LABEL: Columbia, Sony
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
The lead single from Train's latest record California 37 takes the #66 in my list. The same team behind this track is also the team responsible for Hey, Soul Sister. I say I much prefer Drive By because of it's melody and that Pat Monahan sings in a characteristic sing-talk vocal croon.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 6
PEAK POSITION: 09
DEBUT: 02.25.2012 |
66. TRAIN “Drive By”
Oh I swear to you, I'll be there for you, this is not a drive by. Just a shy guy looking for a two ply, hefty bag to hold my love...
2009: JENNIFER HUDSON "If This Isn't Love"
2010: TAYLOR SWIFT "Fearless"
2011: JASON DERULO "Don't Wanna Go Home"
RECAP: 100-96 | 95-91 | 90-86 | 85-81 | 80-76 | 75-71
