i would agree w/ both of these things except for the thing where "ET" is also on the list

I haven't heard Super Bass, but I bet I'd like it.

lol, I have much time for "ET" completely against my better judgment; I think I just like Katy Perry the most when she's being a stompy non-preachy monster

"super bass" was the song i had most in-the-wild moments to this year. rapping every word at so many house parties <3

Just the other day one of our students said, amazed, "You like 'Super Bass' and not Drake?"

I'd probably rank the Billboard songs like this:

1 "Rolling In The Deep" - Adele
2 "Party Rock Anthem" - Lmfao Featuring Lauren Bennett & Goonrock
6 "Grenade" - Bruno Mars
4 "E.T." - Katy Perry Featuring Kanye West
7 "F**K You (Forget You)" - Cee Lo Green
8 "Super Bass" - Nicki Minaj
9 "Moves Like Jagger" - Maroon 5 Featuring Christina Aguilera
5 "Give Me Everything" - Pitbull Featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer
10 "Just Can't Get Enough" - The Black Eyed Peas
3 "Firework" - Katy Perry

If I ever hear Moves Like Jagger again I'm gonna fucking punch a wall

should be a poll imo

i like the chorus of that song a lot, don't really like xtina on it at all but what else is new

Someone at work keeps singing it at me because they know it winds me up.

xposts oh you cunt.

when i was in russia i heard "moves like jagger" like literally 5 times a day. i kind of...came round to it :(

basically exactly what miami did to me 12 months previously with "only girl in the world"

Thanks for breaking my browser.

just change the lyric to "louis jagger" in your head, might make it funnier.

it could be worse, if I had mod powers here I could have made them all autoplay

the only one of those songs that i know for sure i've heard is fuck you; i think maybe i've heard party rock anthem and firework also.

oh i've heard super bass too, nevermind.

A nation thanks god that you were exposed to kryptonite then.

Just the other day one of our students said, amazed, "You like 'Super Bass' and not Drake?"

Was the angle Drake-love or pop-hate?

really "Firework" is the only one I find unbearable; the one that gets consistently underrated is "Grenade"

"If you like that thing, then there's no reason why you can't love Drake too."

Super Bass is far and away the best thing on that Billboard list.

"Super Bass" suffers a little from the start-stops and the bridge is somewhat disconnected from the rest of the song

only one that comes close is "give me everything"

is it wrong that I look at that Billboard list and think to myself "LOL @ Blake Shelton"?

I don't mind "Give Me Everything" now, thanks to our Clear Channel station playing it every 14 seconds.

Although I tend to think of Super Bass as an end-credits mallpop song rather than a rap record.

gimme a few minutes and i'll do a poll of the top 50 hot 100 songs where we can take this convo

"Super Bass" is prob. best on that list, though my weakness for disco-pop means I also like "Rolling in the Deep" and "Moves Like Jagger."

I hate Katy Perry's voice on "Firework," but I think it's a well-constructed pop song.

seriously, the "MO-oo-OO-oo-oo-oo-ves" part gives me some weird pokemon j-pop vibes that i dont really understand why

ay-yi-yi
I'm your little butterfly
With the moo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooves like Jagger

"super bass" is the best big pop single of the year - everyone still goes crazy when it comes on at parties/clubs/any public space. could've been "countdown" though if beyoncé had given it a proper push. ;_;

I hate Katy Perry's voice on "Firework," but I think it's a well-constructed pop song.

yeah totally. actually I don't even mind her voice on it. I'm a little surprised everybody hates it.

Moves Like Jagger and ET are awful though.

That Pinch & Shackleton album hasn't made a lot of lists cos it's only come out in the last couple of weeks, but it's a really great album imo

Wow, people really seem to like that Peaking Lights album. Didn't really do much for me, although i only heard it once

Epic third place for Lulu on yr list Matt.

psychic savagery

Glad to see that Cosmin TRG album making an appearance.

Peaking Lights didn't do much for me either, and I bought the fucker

Peaking Lights is growing on me, I only gave it half a listen but started coming back to it now. It's cool.

heard the Pinch & Shackleton playing in store last time I was in Other Music and it sounded good to me
