The Top 10 Best Hit Songs of 2015

Huh. 

You know, I got really mad the end of that last list, and while it was nice to give... that song, as well as the others, the thrashing they deserved, I don't like being a Negative Nelly, and I'd imagine nobody does.

Which is why I'm saying that we've had enough bile and venom for one year. It's time to get to the good stuff, the best of the best. You heard me right, it's time to celebrate!

So sit back, wrap yourself in about a hundred blankets, and grab a nice hot cup of your favorite beverage, because today, we're counting down the best hit songs of 2015. Kick it off!

I railed against a lot of, quote, "party" songs in my Worst Hits list, and I realize that may give off the impress that I hate or am fundamentally against fun or partying or even mindless hedonism in music.

But that is not the case.

See, the problem with a lot of the songs on that list is they were so shittily made, ingenuine, and dumb to be remotely fun or happy. Granted, they also had a myriad of other problems, but that's the core of why I couldn't respect them even as """party""" songs.

Believe me, there is plenty of great dumb party music out there.

Case in point.

#10. "Shut Up And Dance" by Walk The Moon

Shut Up And Dance is one of the best examples of what a party song should be.

It's a vibrant, colorful track with its chugging guitars, gleaming synths, infectious energy, and one hell of a charismatic vocalist in Nicholas Petricca.

What really strikes me about Shut Up And Dance is how genuine it is. It's just a passionately joyful song about finding solace in forgetting all your problems and just letting go for the night, that moment where you think, at least for the time being, everything's OK. It's pure happiness put to music.

Shut Up And Dance represents the simple yet passionate joy in finding escapism through fun and dancing and laughter and love. It's what every bad party song in the radio *should* be.

It's a blast of pure joy in a pop world that needs it.

I've pulled a few pretty big shifts in opinion over the past year, including some complete 180's. Cool For The Summer I went from not caring about to absolutely loving, My Immortal by Evanescene went from one of my least favorite songs of all time to one of my favorite songs of all time, among many others, but I think the biggest 180 (aside from My Immortal) that I pulled this year was on DJ Snake.

Yeah, I stand by that Turn Down For What and Get Low are both awful songs and made me somewhat rightful in my terrible first impression of the guy, but I found that when he's not making obnoxious noise, he's actually a very talented and unique producer. Major Lazer helped him unlock his potential with Lean On, and it's pretty much been all butterflies and rainbows from there.

I mean, honestly, how how bad could someone be if they can produce something like this?

#9. "You Know You Like It" by DJ Snake feat. AlunaGeorge

For what in the surface may look like it would be another loud, banging club song, You Know You Like It takes a surprising twist in a very dark direction.

The general feel of this song is intense. It's brooding and contemplative, bordering on the edge of insanity. It's chill and atmospheric yet utterly chaotic all at the same time, the lyrics bringing to mind images of mental insanity, self-destruction, and madness, as AlunaGeorge does a beautiful job playing the part of that temptation, those visions and images, with her alluring yet sinister vocal performance. It's all incredibly nuanced, and it all comes together spectacularly.

And what pulls it all together is the atmosphere. DJ Snake has produced a borderline perfect beat on this song, the heavy, dark synths, the trap hits and finger snaps coming in at exactly the right moment, the way it syncs with AlunaGeorge's vocals perfectly, and wraps the song in an air of dark, dreariness. It creates such a heavy mood that fits the song perfectly, the verses and prechorus being the perfect proverbial calm before the storm before it spirals into the drop, which perfectly displays that chaos while not losing its distressingly calm tone.

It's brilliantly structured and framed, perfectly produced, and it is no doubt DJ Snake's best song. Great work.

Five years ago, the pop music world was taken by storm, one of the most talented and amazing artists to break into the mainstream this century became one of the biggest and most influential pop stars of the 2010's, producing a string of hit singles and having the biggest-selling album of the year two years in a row. With the same album. And now, after a long hiatus, she's back, and she's better than ever.

#8. "Hello" by Adele

Let's be honest, we all knew from the second this song was released it would be absolutely massive. It was, and I couldn't be happier about it.

Hello is a musical emotional trip, a song about trying to confront the demons of the past and close if those final lingering emotions, and... not being able to. It's a heavy feeling, as those emotions and painful memories only come crawling back to you. It's a powerful and incredibly real sentiment, helped by the fact that this song sounds absolutely incredible, starting off with that simple piano line before slowly building into the sweeping, orchestral powerhouse with the stomping percussion, violins and strings, and that choir, which amplify the power tenfold but doesn't rid the song of any of its key emotional subtlety.

And of course there's Adele herself, and I don't even think I need to say it, but she sounds fantastic. It's a perfect combination of quiet reflection and powerful belting, of subtlety and bombast, as she drives the emotions and themes of this song home with a stunning performance.

It's one of her best songs without a doubt, and rightfully as massive as it was, and let's hope 25 gets itself on Spotify soon, because of this is any indicator, I've got something incredible waiting for me.

Sam Smith is a pretty polarizing figure in the world of pop music. Some see him as an incredible talent with a gorgeous voice and one of the most respectable artists in pop music right now, while other see him as a boring, generic nobody whose entire success is based on a fluke. I, personally, am in the former category. Sam Smith might be one of the finest talents to come out of pop in the 2010's, hell, I might even put him on the same level as Adele. He's just got such emotion and passion in all of his songs, they're so genuine they're outright heartbreaking.

And to date, at least as far as his hits go, this is without a doubt his most effective.

#7. "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith

Death is a difficult subject to tackle in any medium. It's an extremely heavy topic, and a very emotional one at that. With Lay Me Down, Sam Smith capture that emotion beautifully.

By far, the strongest aspect of this song is the opening. Over a simple yet powerful piano line, Sam Smith just lys out his feelings in a very intimate and personal, yet in a way relatable manner. The minimal instrumentation serves the pure, internal sadness well by letting Sam express his emotions through his stunning vocal performance.

Then the instrumentation starts to pick up, we hear violins, percussion, a choir, and the song becomes an absolute powerhouse, going from an intimate almost speech-like baring of emotions into somewhat of a symphony of sadness, as Sam Smith just starts belting and he sounds fantastic. The emotion is also reflected in the music video, which shows Smith flashing back to memories with his loved one, from their wedding to the funeral, and the imagery is absolutely stunning.

It shows a very personal experience with death, showing the emotion of anyone involved in such an unfortunate scenario perfectly.

Beautiful.

OK, so I might be cheating just a little bit with this entry. Not regarding whether or not it was a hit, it was, but what version was a hit. Billboard wasn't exactly clear on which one was the one that made the year end list, as it had a remix that was also quite successful and I'm not sure which one counts as the "hit", so I'm just including this on the almighty clause of Screw You It's My List And This Song Is Amazing.

#6. "Waves" by Mr. Probz

I actually missed the boat on Waves initially. It charted really early in the year and I never really heard it. But I heard it while going through the year end chart, and man, am I glad I did, because Waves is stunning. It's a perfect balance of soaring and subtlety, all balancing together to make a perfect, excuse the pun, tidal wave of emotion. 

Mr. Probz is a phenomenal vocalist. His performance here is so weak and vulnerable, sounding genuinely heartbroken, confused, and depressed, as he sings lyrics that bring to mind images of fading away, losing all hope, everything crumbling away from you. It's such a powerhouse of sadness it's damn near impossible not to shed a tear while listening to it.

But the real star of the show here is the instrumentation. That faded guitar riff, the piano, the horns, they all come on and off at the right time to pack just the right punch. It all comes together into a sound that feels empty, almost hollow, but remaining elegant and gorgeous all at the same time. It's some of the best instrumentation you'll hear in pop music all year.

Honestly, I don't care if this version was technically the "hit". It deserves all the praise in the world nevertheless.

I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't very big on The Weeknd initially. My first impression of the guy was Earned It, and while now I think that it's a really good song, at the time I didn't care for it at all (seewhatididthere). He really just seemed to be another overtly dark, sexual R&B star and that Earned It was a fluke because 50 Shades Of Gray was, unfortunately for everyone, a massive thing early that year, and while I liked Can't Feel My Face from the beginning, it still didn't fully convince me this guy was worth keeping around for long.

But then a miracle happened.

#5. "The Hills" by The Weeknd

The Hills is a song that I would never have expected to be a hit, let alone one as massive as it was, but once it was, I couldn't be happier about it.

The Hills does not sound like something you'd think of when you hear "mainstream pop". It's dark, almost oppressively so, heavy, eerie, and ugly, and it's a masterpiece for all of those reasons. It's the closest thing to an outright horror song I think we've ever seen hit the Top 40, at least in this decade.

And as a piece of horror, The Hills works spectacularly. Every element is pitch-perfect to make it the most horrifying, unsettling song possible, from the destructively loud bass booming through the chorus punctuated by the haunted scream just before the disastrous climax, The Weeknd's quiet, contemplative performance on the verses before screaming the words to chorus in absolute anger, the lyrics painting a dark image of an overly hedonistic man walking the line between depression and madness, drowning the voices with booze, drugs, and sex, while those things only prove to push them even further, driving him even further down the deep, pitch black hole he's already trapped himself in.

It's a stunningly dark, introspective song for anything that I've ever seen touch the charts before, and the fact that it was as big a hit as it was is amazing. Never did I think something so depraved, so haunting, and so... disturbed could ever hit the Top 40, let alone be one of the Top 10 biggest hits of the entire year, but man, does it deserve it.

Now, I'm not the most social person. I'm the most introverted, antisocial shut-in that I know. Not socially incompatible or anything, but very rarely do I find myself purposely involving myself in groups of people outside of the Internet. I can't fucking stand long family get-togethers or loud groups and crowds, more often than not I just want to leave. It's an odd mind space where I just can't focus on anything but either waiting or trying to leave.

It's a really fucking painful time, and it especially sucks when it makes people see you as a lonely little woobie and only pile onto you even more.

Sometimes you just wanna be left the fuck alone, you know?

#4. "Here" by Alessia Cara

I think what I like the most about Here is how brutally uncomfortable it is. It perfectly captured that vibe of being stuck in a crown of overly social people and being sick of the rest of the world's shit, fuck all of you, I just wanna go home and binge-watch cartoons and eat chips while blasting much better music with absolutely nobody else anywhere near me. That's clearly the headspace this song was written in, and it captures that kind of mood perfectly, with the off-kilter instrumentation, dense, thick production, and the absolutely brilliant songwriting.

Now, Here has caught some flack for being "pretentious" and "defener music", to which I'd like to call a big fat dose of god damn fucking *bullshit*. Believe it or not, being introverted does not make you a terrible person, and not liking parties or party music does not make you an insufferable snob. Different people view the world in different ways and get happiness out of things, and it's god damn stupid to think that displaying this type of mindset makes you insufferable or defener garbage or even mentally diseased, which yes, many people do make incomprehensible leaps to for people like this. They're idiotic and disrespectful stereotypes that the Internet and people in general needs to stop fucking perpetuating.

No, I don't like parties, I don't like most of the big party anthems that chart today, and I love being alone, and you know what, there's nothing fucking wrong with that. There's a massive stigma against introversion in society, and that's why I feel we need songs like Here, to show introverts get people that, excuse the ironic choice of words, not alone, and that there's nothing wrong with them and it's OK not to feed in to the crap people keep shoving into your face. It's got an excellent atmosphere and real emotion, but it also represents something a lot deeper, something that's necessary and needs to be said.

People are gonna shit on it for daring to venture outside the norm or decent the idea of introversion, but in reality, these two things make it all the most admirable, and is a brilliant piece that people like me can connect to, and sometimes, that's really all you need.

A common defense I often hear for garbage like Anaconda, or basically anything from Nicki Minaj or her affiliates, is that even if it's complete worthless garbage, even if it is offensive, that at least it's "provocative" or "dares to shock people" or whatever, and really, that's a load of horse shit. What's provocative or shocking about someone shaking their ass in the camera and screeching loudly into the microphone?

Stuff like Anaconda may get people talking, but it sure as hell isn't for the right reasons. It wasn't provocative or meaningful in any way, it was shock value for the sake of shock value. So a song is worth praising because it used lazy sexuality at an attempt to generate fake controversy that ultimately leads to nothing? No, that's fucking stupid. There's nothing wrong with a song being provocative or controversial, not at all, but shocking for the sake of shock is the lowest of the low. 

If you do want to do something to generate the controversy, I only have one request; have a purpose.

#3. "Take Me To Church" by Hozier

Take Me To Church is a prime example of touching on a very touchy subject and doing it in the best possible way; pulling no punches and dealing with very real issues issues head-on. Hozier is no doubt one of the most talented and interesting songwriters currently in the public eye, which is why it's a real shame he may very well go down as a one hit wonder, but let it be known his one hit was a powerful and effective one.

Religion is a very touchy subject, and obviously I'm not gonna delve very far into these issues, this is a music blog and not a politics blog, but I can say that there are definitely religious institutions in the world that are doing a fair bit more harm than good, and on a disturbingly large scale, and Hozier wastes no time getting into the meat of the issues.  

Take Me To Church is a perfect precision strike at the exclusionary, bigoted and outdated viewpoints of some religious institutions, using sexually-charged wordplay and metaphor, describing a toxic relationship with a woman to brilliantly convey the equally toxic attitude of homophobia, sex shaming, and more that are so prevalent in today's society. 

One of the reasons it works so well is the tone. Take Me To Church is absolutely furious, not just in its lyrics, or even the music video that depicts outright religious terrorism, but the instrumentation. The gothic, haunting swell of the production, the drums that come in just before the chorus, the choir, it's all just so dark and heavy and makes this song an intense listen. It's powerful and bleak, all at the same time.

It's some of the best, most brilliantly framed and presented, rightfully provocative, dark music you will hear on the charts. Easily one of the best songs of the year, and in a just world, Hozier would be seeing far more success right now beyond just the one song.

Kanye West is a pretty interesting figure to talk about. He's one of the most polarizing people in the music industry right now, the kind that you either love or hate.

While I do like a big portion of Kanye's discography, I'll admit, I haven't always been the biggest "fan" fan of his. He's an immensely talented producer, rapper, singer, and songwriter, and an incredibly interesting artist, but I've never really been too compelled in all of his discography. He's definitely someone I'd say I respect more than I like, and while his discography is very consistently great, very rarely does his music hit a massive chord, at least with me personally.

I guess I'd say Kanye West songs are a lot like Steven Universe episodes; they're mostly pretty good to even great, but on those few moments where he's at his best, they're absolutely stunning.

#2. "Only One" by Kanye West feat. Paul McCartney

Only One is Kanye's best song.

Yes, I said it, no, I am not exaggerating.

Never before has Kanye's music ever hit me this hard. The emotions on display here are so personal and intimate, the songwriting so brilliantly framed, the production so gorgeous, the stylistic and artistic choices made so perfectly representing the themes and emotions of the song, it's a god damn emotional experience. It still makes me shed a tear every time.

Only One is a song for Kanye's newborn son. It's written from the perspective of Kanye's late mother, looking down upon the two of them and providing words of comfort and pride, showing Kanye at his most confident but also his most vulnerable. He clearly misses his mother, and this song is an excellent tribute to both her and to his new child, the person he'll be raising and seeing grow up, much like his mother did to him. It's a great parallel that shows Kanye dealing with maturing and becoming a responsible parent while still having to deal with fame itself. The writing is so nuanced and touches on so many different very powerful themes that I could go on for hours about it. 

And that intense feeling of personalness is only exemplified by the heavy use of autotune, which creates the perfect emotional disconnect and makes the song so intimately Kanye's, and it blends so well with the production to give this song an atmosphere that's all its own.

Very rarely does a pop song hit me right in the emotions and yet be so fascinating and worthy of dissecting as much as Only One. It's Kanye's best song to date without a doubt, and if SWISH is anything like this, then who knows, it just might go down as the best album of all time after all.

And yet, there was one hit this year that was even better.

But before we get to that, let's burn through some Honorable Mentions, and buckle in, because there's a lot of them.

Lightning Round, go!

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth

Easily the best work of either artist involved, See You Again is the same emotional powerhouse it was the first time I heard it. Charlie Puth's chorus is powerful, Wiz's verses, specifically the second one are beautiful and hit on the theme of death in a very universal and hard-hitting way, and the combination of piano and hip-hop production is seamless and doesn't feel out of place at all.

Pretty much the only reason this isn't on the list is I just feel Lay Me Down did this better and I didn't want to be redundant by including both. Still a damn great song, though.

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"Heroes (We Could Be)" by Alesso feat. Tove Lo

This was one of the last big trance/house hits before mainstream EDM shifted just about enitrely to trap and more mellow electronica by the likes of Major Lazer and DJ Snake, and man, is this wasn't a note to go out on.

It's got the same uplifting, anthemic production you'd expect from a great mainstream EDM track, Tove Lo provides an excellent performance and she and Alesso's sunny, wonderful production just mend together with the perfect chemistry, creating a gorgeous atmosphere that culminates into a very strong crescendo and a great drop.

This was one of the smaller hits of the year, but it's definitely worth checking out.

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"Renegades" by X Ambassadors

Yeah, it's a car commercial song, but you know what, it's a damn good car commercial song.

That simple yet effective acoustic guitar riff, the rough, rustic sound of it all, the lyrics about adventure and freedom, it creates such a great feeling of the going outside and having the whole world to experience at your hands, one that fits perfectly on, say, a trip to the mountains or whatever crazy Summer adventures you may go on. It's about going out, experiencing the world, and doing what you love. It perfectly captures the spirit of the great outdoors.

On a similar note...

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"Riptide" by Vance Joy

Riptide is just about the perfect Summer anthem.

With that catchy as all hell ukulele riff, the rustic, mountainy atmosphere, and the anthemic chorus, Riptide is the perfect soundtrack to any epic summer experience, going out and going mountain climbing, beachgoing, skydiving, or anything else, it's the perfect Great Outdoors anthem. It's a strikingly happy song and it just ignites the want for adventure and rough, rustic, fun.

Definitely one of the best of the year's sleeper hits, and one that deserves much more recognition, because it's wonderful.

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"Budapest" by George Ezra

Budapest is a song with a pretty simple sentiment: I'd give up all my riches and possession if I could stay with you. Now, that's a nice if simple sentiment and all, but man, George Ezra just sells it.

That's the key to Budapest's greatness: it's pretty deceptively simple on the surface, but the more you listen to it, the more and more you find to appreciate in it. That fluttering guitar riff, Ezra's deep, rich vocals and earnest delivery, the many little instrumental touches in the background, it's such a well layered song that it all just builds into something all on its own; a glimmering, shining piece of surprisingly complex yet very easy to digest and listen to piece of well-composed indie music. 

It's like the musical equivalent of a really fancy, well-dressed slice of cake, if that makes any sense.

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"Blank Space" by Taylor Swift

Blank Space is pretty much the perfect Taylor Swift, taking the usual elegant fairy-tale fare from songs like White Horse and Love Story and perverting into something more twisted and sinister, turning this perfect fairy-tale girl into an absolute monster. It's pretty much a horror song, with its dark, twisted use of traditionally beautiful iconography as we see Taylor Swift play up the insane, borderline murderous persona of an absolute sociopath in what is easily her darkest song to date, with the eerie, heavy production overlaying the sinister lyricism underneath.

Without a doubt Taylor's best hit, and I'd love to see her put this persona to future use, because there is some excellent material in here.

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"Cool For The Summer" by Demi Lovato

Very rarely does the child-star-gone-bad formula work, let alone work this well.

I wasn't too big on Cool For The Summer at first, but over the months it only grew on me. It's a visceral powerhouse of a song, taking the theme of sexual lesbian experimentation and working wonders with it. Unlike the much inferior I Kissed A Girl, Cool For The Summer doesn't play coy or cute. It's a real, passionate explosion of sexual energy and pure, depraved lust that doesn't feel forced or overbearing. If I may be a bit gross for a sec here, yeah, this song actually is really fucking hot.

And that may be a bit of a weak, base justification for loving a song, but hey, if it's done this incredibly well, who cares?

Although that whispering of "don't tell your mother" in the bridge is still really fucking creepy. We... we probably could've gone without that.

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"Photograph" by Ed Sheeran

Yeah, Photograph isn't the greatest or most complex thing Ed Sheeran's ever done, but it's still a great song nonetheless. It's a very simple yet very nice song about looking back on memories through photographs and wanting to hold on to those moments for the rest of your life, and that's a really sweet sentiment that fits this sort of stripped-back, simple ballad really well.

I'll go unpopular opinion for a minute here and say I much prefer Ed's ballads to his pop jams, and Photograph is a great example of why.

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"I Lived" by OneRepublic

Man, I Lived is just such an uplifting song. It's a track that practically bleeds optimism.

It's a song about overcoming your struggles, and the satisfaction that comes with it, the sadness finally passing over and giving way into celebration and relief. You've been through the worst, the pain is over, and now it's time to light the fireworks and finally feel good for the first time in forever.

It's a shot of pure joy, and sometimes when I need that sort of pick me up, I still go back and listen to it. It just makes me feel so much better and helps me wash away all the stress.

Great closing single, guys. Looking forward to that fourth album.

~~~

HONORABLE MENTION:
"Downtown" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis feat. Eric Nally, Grandmaster Caz, Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, Nickelback, Junkie XL, Ryan Seacrest, The Wonderbolts, a mariachi band, DJ Khaled, John Cena, The Cast of NBC's Modern Family, and Knuckles

Downtown is the epitome of pure ridiculousness. Yes, it's silly, yes, it's disjointed and messy as all hell, and yes, it doesn't take itself even remotely seriously.

And those are all reasons why I just adore this song. It's so goofy and over-the-top that it just makes me crack a smile every single time. It takes its complete ridiculousness and owns it, pulling in a series of golden-age hip-hop personalities and the powerful vocal presence of Eric Nally to construct the most ridiculous, silly, crazy thing they could; a grand, multi-act tribute to the 80's, mopeds, and how awesome they are, which is every bit as gloriously insane as it sounds. It's everything great about Uptown Funk amplified to 1,000; silly, retro-influenced fun.

Don't take it too seriously, don't try making sense of it, just grab yourself a moped and come along for the ride.

And now, with all that...

In 2014, my favorite movie of all time was released. A story of war, loss, manipulation, passion, fascinating political messages, incredible characters, a stunning orchestral score and soundtrack... it was a masterpiece.

There were many scenes in that film, that wonderful little film, that hit me right in my emotional center, and one of those scenes contained a song. A gorgeous orchestral and vocal piece that brought to mind images of revolution and of war, and the way it was weaved into the lives of the characters at hand and the events taking place on screen led to one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in a movie.

Great songs can really make you feel something. Be it for a fictional world, a concept, or something in your own life, music is a powerful medium, and it can move you in all sorts of emotional ways, and can be used to portray so many things and, yes, even add a true emotional punch to something like a movie scene.

This song is unlike anything I've ever seen chart in the Top 40 before, and I mean no hyperbole when I say that it is, bar none, one of the greatest hit songs of all time. 

It's a song so utterly beautiful, so powerful, so moving, that honestly, I don't know if words can do it justice.

#1. "The Hanging Tree" by James Newton Howard feat. Jennifer Lawrence

It was one of the most powerful moments in the film, and it proves equally powerful on its own.

The Hanging Tree is an absolutely spellbinding piece of music. Jennifer Lawrence's delivery is so raw and pained, perfectly fitting her role in the movie, someone beaten down by war and oppression, and this song is a call for freedom. It's a war cry, a song for revolution, and the way the lines are delivered in that sing-song way only make it more powerful; it's more of a chant than anything, and by god, if it isn't an absolutely moving chant, the kind that puts you right in this fictional world, and motivates you to raise the flag fight along with the resistance. It's that moving.

And then there's the instrumentation, and by god, it's just amazing, unlike anything you'd ever expect in the Top 40. It starts off completely silent, then that small violin comes in over the second verse before more instruments come in, building and building before it all just explodes into a gorgeous inferno of stunning beauty, with a full choir and orchestra of violins creating a grand, stunning full minute of instrumentals that, with no lyrics or words, still manages to move me to tears every time. It's so fucking beautiful.

"Beautiful" is a word I overuse a lot, in fact, I should probably cut down on using it so it'll have a bit more meaning, but if any song in the world deserved that title, it's this one. The Hanging Tree is an absolutely stunning piece that's unlike anything else you'd ever see chart, but in the best possible way. 

It's one of the few "pop" songs that's ever truly moved me to this degree, and it is, with no doubt, the best hit song of 2015.

Thank you all for reading, I'm FlamingScribblenaut, and let's pray I can get those last two lists out before the end of the month.

I'll see you all next time.
