22. Bottoms Up - Trey Songz, Nicki Minaj

I've talked about this one multiple times before, it's just a really fun club song with a fantastic Nicki verse. Don't have more to say I haven't already. 

58. Circle The Drain - Katy Perry 

Besides Last Friday Night, this is my favorite song on Teenage Dream by Katy Perry, an album I think is really good. It's a disco-rock/hard rock song. Yes you heard me right. A disco rock/hard rock Katy Perry song. It shouldn't work as well as it does, but it does. Katy telling off an ex who was additced to drugs because she was tired of helping him rather than loving him.  Her performance on it conveys the punch it needs and the instrumental kicks ass. Fantastic song. 

77. As She's Walking Away - Zac Brown Band, Alan Jackson

This song is kinda like if You're Beautiful by James Blunt was a good song. It's about a guy meeting a girl randomly, and falling in love with her right as she walks away, and then the wise man near him inspires him to try and get her. And combined with as usual fantastic organic country instrumentation and a fantastic performance from Zac Brown and you have a great single. 

89. Bed Intruder Song - Antoine Dodson, The Gregory Brothers

So uh this one will need some explanation for those who don't know. In 2010, there was a home invasion and attempted rape in Huntsville, Alabama, of a black woman named Kelly, and the news interviewed her brother Antoine. And The Gregory Brothers who make songs by autotuning parts of the news autotuned it into this song. And it went viral on YouTube. And I think it kinda slaps. It's obviously amazing ironically, but the "lyrics" are really good and I think it works unironically with the beat and the autotuned vocals fit really well. Great song. 

92. Like A G6 - Far East Movement, The Cataracts, DEV

"Got the 737 rockin' like a g6!" Okay but for real this is still a banger, and it's automatically based for inspiring Drunk On A Plane. 

96. Rhythym Of Love - Plain White T's

I still adore Hey There Delilah, it's one of my favorite hit songs of 2007, but this is sadly in the vein of white ukuele songs I can't stand like I'm Yours and Hey Soul Sister. The lyrics are nothing at all interesting, the ukuele is incredibly annoying, the singer sounds annoying. So yeah I hate this. 

97. Love Like Woe - The Ready Set

This is just really annoying. The fucking woahs, his awful voice that reminds me of The Kid Laroi, yes the instrumentation is fine, and the lyrics are servicable, but yeah I find this really annoying. 

98. Little Lion Man - Mumford And Sons 

I'm not a Mumford And Sons fan by any means, and this is just a pretty standard folk song that I don't really have strong feelings on either way. It's just kinda there. 

100. Hot Tottie - Usher, Jay-Z

I'm not a fan of OMG by Usher, although I can get some ironic enjoyement from it, which is why I don't hate it like some do. And also this is much worse. The fucking awful mixing, the weak performances from both, and the annoying backing vocals from the woman. Shit song. 

So that was this week! Worst Of The Week is going to Hot Tottie by Usher and Jay-Z, with Dishonorable Mention to Rhythym Of Love by Plain White T's. Best Of The Week is going to Circle The Drain by Katy Perry with a three way tie for Honorable Mention between As She's Walking Away by Zac Brown Band and Alan Jackson, Bed Intruder Song by Antoine Dodson and The Gregory Brothers, and Bottoms Up by Trey Songz and Nicki Minaj.
