It’s been a weird year for me, but one of the highlights has been my overexposure to my car radio and late night MTV Hits. My days are haunted by Drake saying Moscato and my nights are filled with arguments over whether Chris Brown isn’t the worst person ever. Anywho, here are my five favorite and five least favorite radio bangers of the year.BestObvious exclusion include Meek Mills and Rozay’s “Ima Boss,” which got in just before the Rick Ross is a boss bubble burst; Kelly Rowland and Lil Wayne’s “Motivation,” which, if the year ended in July, would’ve totally made my list, but damn was this overplayed; and, Britney’s “Till the World Ends,” especially the remix featuring Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha. Rihanna - We Found Love (ft. Calvin Harris)Riri’s best since “Umbrella” and probably her best video, if only for this.Miguel - Sure ThingThe video makes the song, which is only aided by Miguel’s subsequent single “Quickie”Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)The fifth single off of Teenage Dream and amazingly her strongest, “Last Friday Night” was a relief after the Kanye-included E.T. and the mediocre “The One That Got Away.” Lil Wayne - She Will (ft. Drake)Here’s a fun game to play: try and spot when Weezy ends and Drizzy begins. This is the moment during which the two’s autotunes collide. This is also one of the rare occasions when Drake isn’t awful.LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem (Benny Benasi Remix) (ft. Lauren Bennett & Goon Rock)Yes, this is seriously on my list. “Party Rock Anthem” was the definitive song for my strange year. I became obsessed with tracking down remixes and youtube parodies, like this or that. I was torn whether to embed the original video, which includes additional dialogue that only heightens one’s appreciation of the anthem or this truly transcendent remix by Benny Benassi. WorstThere is only one rule for my worst of list: either Chris Brown, Drake, or Kanye must appear in one of the song. Obviously this means I’m ignoring truly awful songs like Gym Class Heroes and Adam Levine’s “Stereo Hearts,” whose worstness is so great that I doubt I need to mention it; or Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj’s “You the Boss”—Rozay, we get it, you ‘da bose; or T.

Best

Obvious exclusion include Meek Mills and Rozay’s “Ima Boss,” which got in just before the Rick Ross is a boss bubble burst; Kelly Rowland and Lil Wayne’s “Motivation,” which, if the year ended in July, would’ve totally made my list, but damn was this overplayed; and, Britney’s “Till the World Ends,” especially the remix featuring Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha.

Rihanna - We Found Love (ft. Calvin Harris)



Riri’s best since “Umbrella” and probably her best video, if only for this.

Miguel - Sure Thing



The video makes the song, which is only aided by Miguel’s subsequent single “Quickie”

Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)



The fifth single off of Teenage Dream and amazingly her strongest, “Last Friday Night” was a relief after the Kanye-included E.T. and the mediocre “The One That Got Away.”

Lil Wayne - She Will (ft. Drake)



Here’s a fun game to play: try and spot when Weezy ends and Drizzy begins. This is the moment during which the two’s autotunes collide. This is also one of the rare occasions when Drake isn’t awful.

LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem (Benny Benasi Remix) (ft. Lauren Bennett & Goon Rock)

Nicki Minaj - Moment 4 Life (ft. Drake)



God no Nicki, don’t marry Wheelchair Jimmy!

DJ Khaled - I’m On One (ft. Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne)



“Two white cups and I got that drink could be purple, it could be pink / Depending on how you mix that shit”

Never4Get. Also, you must read this. Also, this song takes on a new meaning when you realize that “one” definitely refers to ambien. DJ AMBIEN DRAKE

Drake - Headlines



Fuck Drizzy. If Take Care is on your best of 2011 list, kill yourself.

Chris Brown - Wet The Bed (ft. Ludacris)

Kanye & Jay-Z - Niggas In Paris
