90. Pharell Williams - Happy [2014]
10 weeks at #1
I have NO idea why I ranked this so high. I think there was a clerical error but its too late to revise this list now so WHATEVER!! i did kinda enjoy this at first cause it was so mindless but it became grating really quickly and also FUCK PHARELL for screwing over kelis
89. Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee - Despacito (feat. Justin Bieber) [2017]
16 weeks at #1
Blocked: DJ Khaled - Wild Thoughts (feat. Rihanna & DJ Khaled)
The original of this does go off ngl but the justin bieber remix was so unnecessary. its sad that america was the one of the few countries that didn't stan despacito until the bieber remix came out cause justin adds absolutely nothing. i will never forget when somebody asked jb to sing this at his concert and he said he didnt remember the lyrics??!!?
88. The Chainsmokers - Closer (feat. Halsey) [2016]
12 weeks at #1
Blocked: Twenty One Pilots - Heathens
This song is white girl bait so i should stan but it's kinda messy and halsey can't sing *insert video of her singing blink-182 at the mall*. idk its okay i guess but it did not deserve to be the hit it was. the production is :/ and a drop in particular is god awful. i pray that one day the chainsmokers have an original concept for a song
87. Kendrick Lamar - Humble [2017]

I like Kendrick's music a lot but this was an odd lead single choice?? Maybe I'm wrong here cause it did go #1 but I just can't bring myself to have any strong feelings toward it and it's just an average track on his only average album. the girl who did the weird ass cover of it kinda outsold (https://twitter.com/hillsidevids/status/1243001692586684416 )
86. Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass [2014]
8 weeks at #1
Blocked: Hozier - Take Me to Church
OKAY this song is like objectively terrible but it's an ironic slay. the instrumental like sucks ass and is like the most forced attempt at a throwback i've ever heard. i really do appreciate how 'positive' miss meghan pretends to be and then theres that random line where she drags skinny people (as she should)
85. Travis Scott - Highest in the Room [2019]
1 week at #1
I mean okay I guess??? travis scott making an unremarkable trap song... revolutionary. i do appreciate how dreamy the beat is though i just wish it went anywhere and that the song did anything interesting at all
I'll probably get dragged for this one but miss kesha did carry the song. this was one of pitbull's weakest efforts which says a lot about a man who puts absolutely no effort into any song he releases. i hate whatever tf that old-timey instrumental is in the chorus is cause its grating as hell. kesha did what she could but it wasnt enough
83. Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven [2012-13]
6 weeks at #1
Blocked: Taylor Swift - I Knew You Were Trouble
I mean... it's passable. It doesn't want to make me rip my ears off like half of bruno's songs do but that's mainly because the good production. "cause your sex takes me to paradise" is cringe though. i break out in hives everytime bruno mars tries to say something seductive
82. Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - Shallow [2019]
1 week at #1
This song works really well in the movie but it's kinda lame outside of that context. the best part is definitely the build-up to the final chorus but aside from that it's just a generic ballad >_< whoever told bradley cooper he could sing his own parts in this movie set him up btw
81. Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be [2010]
2 weeks at #1
Okay this is hot garbage but like... if i stop thinking critically while listening it bops. It's one of the weaker songs on this album but it was the only #1 in this decade (just can't get enough deserved). the best part of all black eyed peas songs is that none of them can rap or sing and they try to make up for it with these bizarre electronic beats that they probably thought sounded futuristic but instead sounds like an early 2000's ssx background song
80-71 HOPEFULLY coming tomorrow but i'll probably forget again
and Happy shouldn't have been legal
