1. “Someone Like You” by Adele
I personally am happy to be hearing another song of Adele’s on the radio. While I fear that this song, much like “Rolling in the Deep”, will become overplayed, I embrace the soulful cries of Adele’s new tune. I think the lyrics are heart-wrenching, truthful and authentic: “I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited/ But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it./ I had hoped you’d see my face and that you’d be reminded/ That for me it isn’t over.” I think Adele definitely deserves to be number one.
2. “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5 (featuring Christina Aguilera)
I am so sick of this song. Even after only sixteen weeks on the charts, I never want to hear it again. While I have always been a Maroon 5 fan, this is not one of their usual type of songs. I miss their romantic pop/ rock music and I strongly dislike the new image they’re trying to create with this dance anthem. Also, note to the band: stick to featured artists like Rihanna and Lady Antebellum, no more Christina. Even though it is beginning to slowly fall on the Billboard charts, I do not think it should be up there at all. See ya later, Maroon 5.
3. “Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People
Every time I hear that beginning beat me feet just start tapping and all I want to do is dance. I’m really excited for alternative music to come into the spotlight.I would also like to make a note about the music video that Foster the People created for this song; it’s great. The band looks like they are having so much fun making music together – and isn’t that what music is supposed to be all about?
4. “Sexy And I Know It” by LMFAO
When I first heard this song, I honestly thought it was “Party Rock Anthem” and the lyrics sound just like “I’m in Miami Trick.” Not only do I not like this song and strongly disagree that it should even be on the Billboard Chart, but I don’t like any of LMFAO’s music. Get a new tune guys. Sorry, but this song does not “Rock the Beat.”
5. “Stereo Hearts” by Gym Class Heroes (featuring Adam Levine)
There you go, Adam Levine! Now I know it isn’t his song, but I must say his chorus is my favorite part of the entire thing. I also have to applaud Gym Class Heroes; they did a really great job creating this song. It has such a great concept: comparing love to music. I’m hoping the return of the Gym Class Heroes will produce more great hits like this one. I have faith that the Gym Class Heroes and this song will rise to the top!
