(please note: I couldn't seem to find a reliable source for this list-every list I saw had different top earners, but most lists, at the very least, contained the same top 10 in one order or another--a few names that are missing from this one that I saw on others would be Lady Gaga [Born This Way], Justin Bieber [Never Say Never], and P!nk [F**kin' Perfect]).
1) We Found Love-Rihanna
Ok-I really enjoyed this song at first. It's got a good vibe to it, and I can't say it isn't catchy. HOWEVER-I burnt out on it after the 37 millionth time it played on my radio while I was sitting in the oh so dreadful rush hour traffic. Music is far too overplayed, and this song is DEFINITELY NOT AN EXCEPTION! Poor Rihanna... I'm beginning to hate her and it isn't even her fault.
2) It Will Rain-Bruno Mars
Not a Bruno Mars fan. He's too whiny. Hated this song at first, learned to tolerate it, hated it more when it became yet another overplayed song.
3) Sexy and I Know It-LMFAO
Stupid, kind of annoying, and very fun. LMFAO usually leaves me with my mouth hanging open in utter disbelief (if I try to listen to the lyrics, that is), because the material NEVER bares ANY semblance of logical sense, but the overly egotistical song is good for a listen; it also provides entertainment in the world of amateur karaoke, let me tell you!
4) Without You-David Guetta
I'm becoming a Guetta fan, actually. This song is beginning to be overplayed, but after roughly 3,000 plays so far... I'm not changing the channel in a rush.
5) The One that got Away-Katy Perry
Not my favorite from ol' Perry. E.T. is much preferred, in my opinion. This one just gets kind of annoying after the first chorus.
6) Good Feeling-Flo Rida
As I would indicate if this were Facebook: 'Like'. I liked it the first time, and I still like it. The instrumental makes me feel like I'm in a video game, and the sound is quite appealing.
7) Stereo Hearts-Gym Class Heroes
First listen-thought it was the dumbest song ever. Today (3 million listens later), I pump up the volume and sing along. No lies.
8) Ni**as in Paris-Jay Z and Kanye West
Don't know this one at all, actually.
9) Moves Like Jagger-Marron 5
MOST HATED SONG OF ALL TIME. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
10) Someone Like You-Adele
I'm becoming an Adele fan. I've loved all of her [released] songs (haven't heard the whole album), and I even coerced my piano playing friend to learn some of her stuff so that we could belt it out together. I love everything about her-the lyrics, the music, the style- but I especially love that her sound is competing among all of the pop music that monopolizes the industry. She's different and it's working out for her. I can dig that.
Honorable Mention who probably made some hefty $$$ this year: Nikki Minaj. Super Bass, anyone? Again, this is another artist/song that I didn't enjoy the first few times around, but this song definitely grew on me. Sometimes, when I'm all alone.... I actually try to rap it.
I ALSO DISCOVERED: OWL CITY and MUMFORD AND SONS. Never would have listened to either of these in times past, but friends have a lot of influence over a person... and mine fixed me up with some easy listening. Highly recommend any and every song/album from either artist.
