JAPOY'S BEST OF 2012:
TOP 100 SONGS: 65-61
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: Torches
RELEASED: 01.10.2012
LABEL: Columbia, Startime
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
This is the final time we see Foster The People in my list this year. Don't Stop (Colors On The Wall) fair well in my countdown earlier this year and it's good enough they're able to land on a comfortable position at #65. Let's see if they can still break their one-hit wonder status probably next year.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 8
PEAK POSITION: 04
DEBUT: 01.28.2012 |
65. FOSTER THE PEOPLE “Don't Stop (Colors On The Wall)”
Yeah, yeah, I said don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, talking to me. Don't stop, don't stop, don't stop, giving me things...
2009: PARAMORE "Brick By Boring Brick"
2010: TIMBALAND F/ JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE "Carry Out"
2011: SKYLAR GREY "Invisible"
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded
RELEASED: 06.12.2012
LABEL: Young Money, Cash Money, Universal Republic
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Riding on the success of Starships, this single was released next. Pound The Alarm is another fun-pop dance track for everyone to enjoy. To be honest, I really enjoy Nicki Minaj releasing this songs on the pop genre rather than hip hop.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 9
PEAK POSITION: 06
DEBUT: 08.25.2012 |
64. NICKI MINAJ “Pound The Alarm”
Oh, oh, oh, come fill my glass up a little more. We 'bout to get up, and burn this floor...
2009: FLO RIDA F/ NELLY FURTADO "Jump"
2010: BRUNO MARS "Grenade"
2011: TRAIN "Marry Me"
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: Hello
RELEASED: 07.31.2012
LABEL: Epic
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Karmin makes their first appearance with the title track from their latest EP. Hello is easily one of the catchiest pop tunes this year and you can hear Amy interpolating with Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit with this one.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 9
PEAK POSITION: 04
DEBUT: 09.15.2012 |
63. KARMIN “Hello”
Too nice, too clean, too white, too green. Little haters, big dreams, I don't care what you think about me...
2009: PINK "I Don't Believe You"
2010: KE$HA "Take It Off"
2011: SELENA GOMEZ & THE SCENE "Love You Like A Love Song"
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: R.E.D.
RELEASED: 07.10.2012
LABEL: Motown
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
This one is supposed to be inside the top 50 because of it's good stats. I have adjusted my list with this song because I think Let Me Love You quite lack some charisma unlike Ne-Yo's earlier hits. At least, this still manage to be as high as #62 here.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 11
PEAK POSITION: 06
DEBUT: 09.08.2012 |
62. NE-YO “Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself)”
Girl let me love you, and I will love you, until you learn to love yourself...
2009: AKON F/ COLBY O'DONIS & KARDINAL OFISHALL "Beautiful"
2010: MIKE POSNER "Please Don't Go"
2011: ENRIQUE IGLESIAS F/ LUDACRIS "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)"
 | SONG DETAILS:
ALBUM: MDNA
RELEASED: 02.03.2012
LABEL: Live Nation, Interscope
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Madonna appears for the second and the last time in this list. I admit I was really looking forward for her comeback single. Give Me All Your Luvin' is ok, but it's a bit generic that eventually led me to lose some interest on it. Nevertheless, it's a cute cheerleading track alongside Nicki and M.I.A.
COUNTDOWN STATS:
WEEKS: 8
PEAK POSITION: 06
DEBUT: 02.04.2012 |
61. MADONNA F/ NICKI MINAJ & M.I.A. “Give Me All Your Luvin'”
Don’t play the stupid game, cause I’m a different kind of girl. Every record sounds the same, you’ve got to step into my world...
2009: RIHANNA "Russian Roulette"
2010: RIHANNA F/ DRAKE "What's My Name"
2011: FAR EAST MOVEMENT F/ RYAN TEDDER "Rocketeer"
