2011 Year End Ranking Pt. 2

79. Motivation - Kelly Rowland, Lil Wayne (7/10) I like the vocal melodies, decent production and good verse from Lil Wayne. It's not great but it works.  78. You Make Me Feel - Cobra Starship, Sabi (7/10) It's fun but nothing I seek out really. Good Girls Go Bad is a lot better.  77. Till The World Ends - Britney Spears (7/10) Not one of my favorite Britney songs but I'd take this over shit like Hold It Against Me or Piece Of Me any day. Really good hook, decent verses and a nice party atmosphere.  76. Whip My Hair - Willow (7/10) Hearing this after hearing some of the stuff Willow released in the 2020s so far like Transparent Soul and Meet Me At Our Spot is a change of pace given how different this is but it's a good song to be honest. I get why someone would find the hook annoying but I kinda like it and the rest is good.  75. Brighter Than The Sun - Colbie Caillat (7/10) This is the most I've enjoyed any Colbie Caillat song I've heard since Bubbly. It's

  Hey everyone, Drake, known online as Urtar Reviews here, and today I am going to be looking at another year of pop music, 2011. However, I am going to be trying something different that I may do going forward if I feel it works better and that is, rather than doing top 10 best and worst lists, I will just do a ranking of the year end lists I use, those being the Billboard Year End lists, the January-December ones found in this forum (https://pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/191238/january-december-year-ends-1959) and some of my own making using the site crownnote to generate a complete chart run year end that counts song's entire chart runs towards one year, eliminating the problem of songs getting caught between years. So yeah I am going to be ranking every song that made one of those lists for 2011, for a total of 118 songs. This will be in multiple parts. How was 2011 for pop music? Well if you ask me it was a very good year with many phenomenal classics, but it also has a lot
