Haven't Met You Yet by Michael Buble loses to 49. Rain Is A Good Thing by Luke Bryanenters a drought down to 51. Rock That Body by The Black Eyed Peas gets rejected down to 41. Pray For You by Jaron And The Long Road To Love loses to 56. The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert drops to 57. Waka Waka (This Time For Africa) by Shakira and Freshlyground loses to 59. Jar Of Hearts by Christina Perri drops to 63. Water by Brad Paisley loses to 66. POWER by Kanye West weakens to 72. She Won't Be Lonely Long by Clay Walker loses to 80. Crazy Town by Jason Aldean drops to 82. Come Back Song by Darius Rucker leaves again to 85. Sex Room by Ludacris and Trey Songz drops to 86. Can't Be Tamed by Miley Cyrus gets tamed to 88. Finally, This Ain't Nothin' by Craig Morgan loses to 93. 


Dropouts include If We Ever Meet Again by Timbaland and Katy Perry, No Love by Eminem and Lil Wayne, Wavin' Flag by K'Naan, The Man I Want To Be by Chris Young all falling short of Year End spots.

For returns, we have Smile by Uncle Kracker back at a new peak for some reason at 33. And Take It Off by Kesha getting the single push to 92. 


To start off our gains, Secrets by One Republic gains to 35. Pretty Boy Swag by Soulja Boy rises to 39. Club Can't Handle Me by Flo Rida and David Guetta gains big to 52. La La La by Auburn and Iyaz rises to 58. Finally, B.M.F. by Rick Ross and Styles P gains to 67. 


20. Teenage Dream - Katy Perry 

This song is just an absolute pop classic from 2010, yeah it's shallow but it not only has incredible production and one hell of a hook, but it conveys the magic of their relationship perfectly. It's just an absolute banger and one I still seek out a fair amount to this day. 


43. Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars

I know some people find the concept of this song a bit creepy but I never did, and even if I did, Bruno sounds so lovestruck and adorable it's impossible to find him creepy. His performance on this song is absolutely excellent and I love the piano production. It was a fantastic first introduction to his solo career that I love to this day. 


75. Champagne Life - Ne-Yo 

This is not bad, but nothing special and not one of the best Ne-Yo songs I know. I'd definitely take Beautiful Monster over this when it comes to 2010 Ne-Yo charting songs any day, not to mention songs like So Sick or Miss Independent The production is fine, his vocals are fine, everything really is fine but nothing wins me over. So yeah it's just fine. 


98. Aston Martin Music - Rick Ross, Drake, Chrisette Michele

This kinda slaps. The woman and Drake trade off really well for a great lowkey hook, and Rick Ross's verses go hard. Banger. 


That was this week! Nothing here was bad, so I can't give out worst of the week awards so I'm giving Best Of The Week to Teenage Dream by Katy Perry and a tie for Honorable Mentions to Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars and Aston Martin Music by Rick Ross, Drake, and Chrisette Michele. 


Thanks for reading! Urtar Reviews signing out! I'll see you next time!

My Top 20 Favorite Hit Songs of 2023 Part 2 (10-1)

  10. Snooze - SZA I think recently SZA finally clicked for me. I haven't tested that yet by going back to her Ctrl era hits since my 2017 best list. Maybe it's just that I like her hits this year more than them, or maybe lately I've been busier and tired more often and more in the mood for downbeat R&B like this, but Kill Bill was one of the last cuts from the list, and Low would have been even higher if it was eligible. This song just did a good job calming me down through this stressful year. SZA's voice just sounds so comforting and smooth, the pitch shifting is fantastic and the beat is just upbeat enough to be catchy and for the song to have rhythm while also laid back enough to be calming. Before I listened to Low as a recommendation from my friends I considered this my favorite SZA song I'd heard, and between the songs I've heard it I actually want to listen to SOS at some point which I never thought I'd say. 9. Cruel Summer - Taylor Swift  Some

My Top 10 Least Favorite Hit Songs of 2020

  Hey everyone, it's Drake, known online as Urtar Reviews and today we are going over my least favorite hits of 2020. 2020 was obviously a horrible year for most of us in real life with the COVID-19 pandemic, the George Floyd incident and more, but how was it for music. Well, while I enjoyed the pop music scene of this year back when it was going on, for the most part, going back to this year in 2023, while it is certainly a more interesting year than 2022 or 2023 so far, there is a lot of stuff I hated from this year and while the good stuff does make up for it and still leave it a decent year overall, man do I hate the worst songs from this year. Everything happening in 2020 carried over to the pop music scene, leaving the year with a lot of downbeat depressing music, and while some of that is good, a lot of it was not if you ask me. Now starting with this list, I am going to be changing my eligibility rules for these lists. I have been working the last few years on posting hot 1
