This song just reminds me of commercials and kids' movies.

Peaked at: #5
Fun Fact: Kevin Rudolf had a record deal with Cash Money Records, making him the first white artist signed to the label.
"Let It Rock" sounds like two years ahead of it's time.
Goodbye - Kristinia DeBarge (2009)
Peaked at: #15
Fun Fact: Kristinia DeBarge's father was apart of the 80s R&B band DeBarge.
This song had sixth grade me saying goodbye to boyfriends I didn't have.

Who else remembers seeing the music video and thinking "Blair Waldorf?!"

Raise Your Glass - P!nk (2010)

This song and it's music video is so fun you will want to raise literally any drink to it, like milk.
Love Like Woe - The Ready Set (2010)
Peaked at: #27
Fun Fact: Pete Wentz makes a cameo in the music video for this song.
The fact that "whoa" is spelled like "woe" annoys me to no end. Also, what happened to this guy?
Bow Chicka Wow Wow - Mike Posner feat. Lil Wayne (2011)
Peaked at: #30
Fun Fact: Posner started out as a record producer, working with Big Sean occasionally.
You probably heard this song once or never on the radio but I listened to it for months when it came out.
Mr. Saxobeat - Alexandra Stan (2011)

How to Love - Lil Wayne (2011)
Peaked at: #5
Fun Fact: Lil Wayne's notoriously delayed album, Tha Carter V (It was supposed to released in 2012!) will be released before the end of this year.
"How to Love" is such a sweet song even with Lil Wayne's autotuned-voice warbling in places.
Brokenhearted - Karmin (2012)
Peaked at: #16
Fun Fact: Karmin is composed of the wife & husband duo, Amy Renee Noonan and Nick Noonan. They gained popularity on YouTube making covers.
Amy's rap verse in this song is either the best or worst thing about this song, depending on who you ask. Her rap skills as Qveen Herby are undeniably amazing.

Too Close - Alex Clare (2012)
Peaked at: #31

Give It 2 U - Robin Thicke ft. Kendrick Lamar (2013)

I think of Jordan Knight's "Give It To You" while listening to this song.
Wrecking Ball - Miley Cyrus (2013)
Peaked at: #1
Fun Fact: Miley Cyrus founded the Happy Hippie Foundation in 2014 that fights "injustice facing homeless youth, LGBTQ youth, and other vulnerable populations." That's amazing!
It was weird to watch Miley Cyrus try to make swinging on a wrecking ball and sledgehammers sexy.
Classic - MKTO (2014)
Peaked at: #14
Fun Fact: MKTO are the initials for Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller. They were the opening act for Demi Lovato's 2014 World Tour.
I thought the lyric "I wanna thrill you like Michael" was "I wanna do you like Michael." Besides being a Thriller reference, the line still doesn't really make any sense.
La La La - Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith (2014)
Peaked at: #19
Fun Fact: Naughty Boy has worked with Rihanna, Childish Gambino, and Lily Allen.
While "Latch" by Disclosure was most Americans' introduction to Sam Smith, "La La La" was mine. That liquid drum and bass, though.
My Way - Fetty Wap feat. Drake (2015)
Peaked at: #7
Fun Fact: Fetty Wap has 8 children with seven different women. I don't know if that's necessarily a fun fact but it's a fact. Drake's also a dad!
Drake's lyric "All I gotta do is put my mind to this shit/Canceled out my ex, I put a line through that bitch," was quoted a lot on Instagram and Twitter.
Don't Mind - Kent Jones (2016)
Peaked at: #8
