iv. 'Toxic' past Britney Spears

vii. 'Rehab' by Amy Winehouse
'Rehab' was always a great pop song, but following Amy Winehouse'southward tragic death in 2011, it's acquired a hauntingly poignant quality, too.

Rest in Ability, Amy.
8. 'Blinding Lights' by The Weeknd
The Weeknd has been a pop heavyweight since he dropped his coke-fuelled banger 'Can't Feel My Face up' in 2015. But the Canadian superstar took things to another level with 'Blinding Lights', a synth-driven monster that somehow managed to brighten upwardly the summer of Covid, blasting out of cars everywhere as people escaped their bubbling. More than a yr later, its power has merely grown.
9. 'Dancing on My Own' by Robyn

It'due south a welcome reminder that withal shitty things get, you'll always notice salvation on the dance floor.
10. 'Hey Ya!' by Outkast
Outkast ATLien André 3000 took a suspension from changing the rap game for this unexpectedly sunny '60s throwback that sees the superstar hit pause as an emcee to play bandleader. In a discography of unexpected twists and turns, it was a move nobody could accept seen coming from the 'Ms. Jackson' legend, and further proof that André can do pretty much annihilation. Truly cooler than a polar bear'southward toenails.
eleven. 'Hips Don't Lie' by Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean
Topping her global breakthrough hit 'Whenever, Wherever' was always going to exist a tall order, only Shakira managed it in 2005 with this colossal reggaeton bop. More than xv years later, 'Hips Don't Lie' still gets everyone on the dance flooring, though not anybody manages to echo Wyclef'due south'Shakira, Shakira' shoutoutquite on the beat.
12. 'SexyBack' past Justin Timberlake
'For whoever is claiming that they are bringing sexy back, sexy never left!' certified Sexy MF Prince quipped when JT started blazing up the charts with this Timbaland-produced all-timer fusing raw sexuality and funk bonafides. Prince was, of form, right. But as far as a career reinvention goes, Timberlake's is 1 for the books: 'SexyBack' doesn't so much close the door on the vocalizer's ramen-haired boy-band chapter as fire it to the ground.
13. 'Phone call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen
This song made 2012 the year of the cheesy pickup line after Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's lip-sync sesh catapulted this tune onto the radio. Jepson hasn't had another equally huge hit since, but she has facilitated millions of hasty flirtations and phone number solicitations. Thanks, Carly Rae!
14. 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars really struck gilt with this Michelle Pfeiffer-namechecking throwback jam. Not only did 'Uptown Funk' clean upwardly at the 2015 Grammys, even winning Record of the Year, but it became the third most-watched video ever on YouTube. Wedding ceremony reception dance floors will never exist the aforementioned once more.
fifteen. 'Poker Face' past Lady Gaga
Gaga's entire catalogue is a celebration of individuality, allyship and letting your freak flag fly. 'Poker Face' remains a staple of the pop pantheon thanks to its grimy-glam melodies and bombastic vocal breaks. Plus, Gaga managed to sneak the line 'f*ck her face up' onto radio for yeears without anyone noticing. If that'due south non the marking of a queen, nothing is.
16. 'Hollaback Daughter' past Gwen Stefani
Rumour has it that this 2004 chart-topper was aimed at Courtney Beloved, who had apparently dismissed Stefani as a 'cheerleader' in an interview. Either way, at that place's no denying that the minimal beat supplied by the Neptunes still hits hard, or that Stefani sounds great spelling out 'B-A-N-A-N-A-S' over information technology.
17. 'Starships' past Nicki Minaj
The hip-hop queen'south most sugary, hyperactive and kaleidoscopic song is a titanic explosion of free energy. Transitioning from a catchy hook to rapid-fire rap, via saccharine melodies and undulating electronica, it actually does make you feel elevated regardless of whether you're really 'higher than a motherfuc*er'. Pure anarchy, and an absolute blast.
18. 'Royals' by Lorde
The modest-town New Zealand export was but 15 when she penned this international mega-hit deflating hip-hop's obsession with bling and braggadocio. Information technology's not the kind of thing that happens a lot in popular music, which makes the incredibly thin, intricately layered, ultra-swish 'Royals' even more of a treasure. 'Permit me be your ruler,' sang Lorde. 'Aye please,' replied millions.
19. 'Party in the United statesA.' by Miley Cyrus
This song hails from a different era of Cyrus, before she transformed into a Robin Thicke-humping sexpot with a Gene Simmons tongue. This midway signal between mod Miley and Hannah Montana is a ray of sing-forth sunshine. Anyone who claims non to know the words (or belt them out and roll the windows downwards whenever the song'south on the radio) cannot be trusted.
20. 'Bad Guy' by Billie Eilish
Like fellow pop purple Lorde, Eilish was only a teen when she dropped this subversive ode to bad behaviour. Blood brother Finneas' thumping beats and spooky hooks hold the whole affair together, but it's Eilish'due south smoky voice — bounding between deeply unsettling and sprightly — that sells the whole ghoulish affair. The result cemented her as the antithesis of a squeaky-clean popular star and scared the ever-loving shit out of her target audience 'southward parentss.
21. 'Proficient every bit Hell' by Lizzo
An instant feel-great classic, Lizzo's 'Good every bit Hell' is the very definition of infectious thanks to its instantly recognisable piano beat, Lizzo's forceful-yet-playful cadence and a pervasive, universal ability to make anybody inside earshot strut for its entire runtime.
22. 'Become Lucky' by Daft Punk featuring Pharrell
With Pharrell on vocal duties and Nile Rodgers on guitar, the helmeted Frenchmen's biggest not-Weeknd hitting is a piece of wipe-clean disco so immaculately crafted you might imagine there was some algebra involved. Similar all smashing popular songs, it throbs with life, but also glows in brilliant neon that's wholly Daft Punk's.
23. 'Dynamite' past BTS
The K-Pop supergroup has taken over the world, and at that place seems to be no sign of them slowing downwards. You lot either become on the railroad train or get run over by it. Luckily, the band's long-awaited English-language debut delivered, hijacking airwaves and talk shows with its perfectly calibrated bubblegum. Twenty years afterwards NSYNC said 'bye bye bye', a new kingdom pop has raised its flag.
24. 'Adore You' by Harry Styles
The old I Direction star's solo career has gone many unexpected places, no more and so than on his recent, genre-hopping album ' Fine Line' . And while the funky 'Watermelon Sugar' brings the double entendres, 'Admire You' is Styles at his most endearing and infectious: a ho-hum-paced, driving, and vocally lovely instant archetype. As a bonus, the surreal video finds the hearthrob enamoured with a giant fish... and it'southward everything.
25. 'No Tears Left to Weep' past Ariana Grande
Ariana'due south evolution from sugar-sweet popular princess to her generation'south foremost chronicler of the Kama Sutra has been astonishing, if a little much for some pearl-clutching early on fans. She hit a universally appealing sweet spot with this 2018 bop, which ascends to the stratosphere with each repetition of 'pickin' it up'. As her voice swoops and soars, information technology seems to confirm the arrival of a global superstar whose talent stands taller than fifty-fifty her highest ponytail.
26. 'Drivers License' by Olivia Rodrigo
Popular's current heir apparent exploded onto the scene with this universally gripping, emotionally ripe tale of teenage yearning: a piano ballad with a forlorn melody, a driving backbeat and some of the near bracing vocals in recent pop. Rodrigo wears her love of Taylor Swift on her sleeve, then much so that fans call her the second coming while haters weep ripoff. For what information technology's worth, Swift (dissimilar Courtney Honey) is a fan… and rumours go on to swirl well-nigh an upcoming collaboration that could rock the pop globe to its core.
27. 'Sorry' by Justin Bieber
Taking a hiatus from making music to focus on growing up a little, the Biebs came back with 'Purpose' in 2015. 'Sorry', the second unmarried from the album, was mixed past Skrillex — and in a stroke of genius and surprising modesty, he excluded himself from the music video and focused on an oft-imitated squad of dancers instead.
28. 'Titanium' by David Guetta featuring Sia
Empowering, escalating and full of raw power, 'Titanium' is what happens when one of the globe's best producers meets one of its almost prolific popular writers. Namely: fireworks. Sia may accept establish further success swinging from chandeliers, just every bit a vocalist she has never been more explosive than here.
29. 'Happy' past Pharrell Williams
But somebody as tuned-in to the pop landscape equally Williams could accept a throwaway rail from a Minions movie and plough it into an enduring ode to being in a great mood. Think of it like this: Three years afterward 'Happy', Justin Timberlake tried to replicate its good vibes for the Trolls soundtrack . But, we're not talking about Justin Timberlake here. Such is the power of a Neptune using his powers for good.
xxx. 'Hotline Bling' past Drake
Take away the mountain of memes, ignore Drake'southward beautiful dad dancing and this pop song would still exist a winner for the ages. That delicate, trickling calypso vanquish effortlessly shrugs off the lover who never calls, transforming a archetype tale of ghosting into an eminently danceable revenge song that everyone – ex included – would struggle to resist. No wonder information technology was literally inescapable for the whole of summer '15.
31. 'Levitating' past Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa's 'Hereafter Nostalgia' album is full of bangers, just none is quite as instantly timeless as this throwback jam that pulses with verve, confidence and pure joy. One time she reaches the punchy 'yes yep yep' callback, you'll be soaring with her. Go ahead and skip the DaBaby remix… Dua's got this one on her ain.
32. 'Milkshake' by Kelis
Kelis'southward brag that her 'shake brings all the boys to the chiliad' has given this magnetic dancefloor anthem legs. Driven by an all-time dandy Neptunes beat, it's a popular-R&B bop every bit as box-fresh equally when it dropped (as part of Kelis's excellent'Tasty' album) in 2003.
33. 'Despacito' past Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee
Nearly inescapable between 2017 and 2018, 'Despacito' is one of those songs that became so prevalent that people mistook its ubiquity for annoyance. A few years on, however, the ultra-smooth collision of Latin pop and reggaeton has anile remarkably well from song-of-the-summer status to certifiable classic.
34. 'Bootylicious' past Destiny'southward Child
Frankly, nosotros're nevertheless not sure what 'this jelly' is, and xx years on we're still non certain we're ready for it. But what is certain is that the legendary girl group, facing the inevitablility of Beyoncé's solo ascendance, fired off ane last barn-burner to usher in the '00s, and the dance floor was never the same.
35. 'Piece of work It' by Missy Elliott
Missy's avante-garde approach to pop-infused hip-hop is at its best when she has certified master Timbaland at her side, and no pairing hits with the aforementioned mix of chaotic glee, weirdness and pop sensibility as 'Work It'. Only an creative person as nimble equally Missy could have a jumbled mass of backwards-masked syllables and make it one the era's well-nigh recognisable choruses... and one of karaoke night's biggest flexes.
36. 'American Boy' by Estelle featuring Kanye West
Both sides of the pond become some swagger on this pulsing throwback track occupying the space between disco, hip hop and pop. Estelle'due south cockney-infused vocals provide the perfect antidote to Kanye's humbug… no small task, given that the guy is 5-foot-seven of pure ego. Even 'Ye takes a back seat to Estelle when she's firing on all cylinders (with an assist past wil.i.am and John Legend on writing duties, natch).
37. 'Since U Been Gone' by Kelly Clarkson
Simon Cowell may have made Kelly Clarkson a celebrity, merely 'Since U Been Gone' made her a star. OutsideAmerican Idol viewers and the two people who watchedFrom Justin to Kelly, this was the world'south true introduction to Clarkston'southward mighty lung chapters, and a high point for the early-noughties pop-stone explosion. The gleeful break-upwardly canticle comes off similar a glorious cross between Avril Lavigne and 'I Will Survive'. Fittingly in the apartment circle of the pop world, it's now regularly butchered on talent shows worldwide.
38. 'Let Me Accident Ya Mind' by Eve featuring Gwen Stefani
A slinky, swaggering slow jam that meets at the intersection of hip-hop and pop, Eve'southward biggest striking is essentially a four-minute non-so-humblebrag about career success. It'southward the kind of thing that male rappers practise all the time just somehow draws blowback when a adult female does it (see too: 'WAP'). Allow the haters feign their dismay. The balance of united states of america will be out on the dance flooring and soaking in the silky sass.
39. 'Gangnam Fashion' by Psy
Psy'due south cyberspace-breaking sendup of South Korean excess is absolutely impossible to ignore, endeavor though you lot may. The showtime song to achieve i billion YouTube hits, information technology's been parodied, homaged, remade and remixed. Yet it refuses to die. That's considering, against all odds, it rips. Yes, it's a song you're ashamed to catch yourself dancing to. But guess what? It happens to all of united states of america.
40. 'Crazy' by Gnarls Barkley
Long before his vile worldview and accusations of abuse made it all to piece of cake to say 'Fu*grand Yous' to Cee-Lo Dark-green, the quondam Goodie Mob emcee joined forces with producer Danger Mouse to release this slick psychedelic soul curveball. Fifteen years later, it all the same feels gloriously alien.
