This is a collection of Top Ten songs based on recall (demographics = friends)

Criteria also include: Chart Position, and Youtube hits.

10.  You Get What You Give 
Artist:  New Radicals|Released: 1998|Album: Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too
YouTube Views (52,611,364) Chart Position (#36 US Billboard Hot 100)

 


It would have been top 3 if not for its dismal showing on Billboard's Hot 100.
When Joni Mitchell and The Edge are overheard saying "wish I wrote that song," you know you have something good going.

09. Dilemma
Artist:  Nelly & Kelly Rowland |Released: 2002|Album: Nellyville
YouTube Views (510,747,106) Chart Position (#1 US Billboard Hot 100)




Ah, the early 2000s! When Nelly was being heard on the radio, office elevator etc. A whopping 510 million views on YouTube. Reason (partly)for this is the Kelly Rowland scene where she's texting Nelly using Excel! (go to 3:15)

08. Closer

     Artist:  Chainsmokers & Halsey
AlbumCollage
Released2016



YouTube Views (276,28,568) Chart Position (#1 US Billboard Hot 100)






Biggest hit of 2016. It was so big that a study was made to find out why it was such a big hit. It's a no brainer, really. Catchy tune about sleeping with your Ex? No surprises there.


07. Irreplaceable

     ArtistBeyonce
Album: B'Day
Released2006



YouTube Views (298,291,974) Chart Position (#1 US Billboard Hot 100)
