1. Born This Way - Lady Gaga
Well, this title should certainly put those rumors to rest.
6. Tonight (I'm Fuckin' You) - Enrique Iglesias ft. Ludacris and DJ Frank E
This is the song that "Pick Up Artist" dudes listen to while they preen the feathers on their hats before they hit the club.
9. The Time (Dirty Bit) - Black Eyed Peas
B.E.P. used to be a credible Native Tongues rap group, back in the pre-Fergie days. I only hope that it seems as impossibly distant to them as it does to the rest of us.
14. Rocketeer - Far*East Movement ft. Ryan Tedder
Speaking of things that seem like a long time ago, remember when Ryan Tedder wrote a song for Kelly Clarkson and she was surprised that it sounded like one of his other songs?
18. Hit the Lights - Jay Sean ft. Lil Wayne
This song debuts the same week we saw Watson win Jeopardy, which doesn't strike me as a coincidence after listening to it.
20. Ke$ha - We R Who We R
The Ke$ha Home Game: Stand with your back to a mirror and fix your face to say "hot ANNND dangerous" the way Ke$ha does to start this song, then turn and face the mirror. Then pour stale beer all over yourself.
23. I Do - Colbie Caillat
I confess that I haven't listened to this song yet; I'm waiting to listen to it the way it was intended, but I'm all out of strawberry Yoplait and lavender bath oil.
26. Coming Home - Diddy-Dirty Money ft. Skylar Grey
This song is actually a remarkable achievement. There have been dozens of Overcoming Adversity rap songs with a big, uplifting chorus, but Puffy somehow makes the whole idea seem even less fresh. It doesn't help that the adversity he's referring to is everyone realizing that he's a hack.
31. Down on Me - Jeremih ft. 50 Cent
Slumming with Birthday Sex Guy is a bad sign for 50 Cent's career. It's a much worse sign that it doesn't even seem like slumming anymore.
34. Firework - Glee Cast
38. Thriller/Heads Will Roll - Glee Cast
I wanted to use a picture for this entry, but an image search for "threadbare welcome mat" didn't come up with anything decent.
