And so it begins, the BEST OF 2012, Day 1!
10.) “Turn Up The
Music”
Chris Brown
Chris Brown certainly can make us dance, and this is just
one more example of how well he can get down! It’s yet another club banger with
generic lyrics, but it got us all moving regardless.
9.) “Girl Gone Wild”
Madonna
Madonna’s comeback album may not have been her most
memorable or successful as one would hope, but Madge still had a couple great
songs. This gay anthem (and video) definitely got our feet moving and made us
all feel like bad girls that needed to repent.
8.) “Got Me Good”
Ciara
Poor Ciara just can’t catch a break, but hopefully with this
song she can return to prominence as the Princess of Crunk R&B. In the
tradition of songs like “That’s Right”, “Work”, and “Gimmie Dat”, she still has
all the right moves!
7.) “Die Young”
Ke$ha
So much for Ke$ha coming out with music that was moving away
from the generic pop music like she claimed, but I’m not complaining. She still
delivered this little gem of pop dance perfection!
6.) “Goin’ In”
Jennifer Lopez, Flo
Rida, & Lil’ Jon
My girl J.Lo did it big again in 2012. While most would pick
her literal dance song “Dance Again”, I feel like this one has a bit more bang
and certainly more of a lasting effect than the other. And of course we’re
greeted to yet another Flo Rida verse and random yells from Lil’ Jon.
5.) “Starships”
Nicki Minaj
Here we have Nicki Minaj cashing in on her “Super Bass” success,
but this one has a bit more “oomph” to it. It may not be as memorable and
quirky as “Super Bass”, but it certainly got us dancing a lot more. Nicki Minaj
has a sick flow when it comes to rapping, but it’s in her dance anthems that
have more of an impact.
4.) “Wild Ones”
Flo Rida & Sia
Sia just could not be stopped, whether it was appearances on
songs like this and David Guetta’s “Titanium”, or writing for Rihanna,
Christina Aguilera, or Ne-Yo, she was everywhere and more! Of course no shocker
that it’s yet another Flo Rida dance song, but Sia made it extra sweet!
3.) “Put Your
Graffiti On Me”
Kat Graham
One of the lesser known songs, but one of the most
interesting and fun ones of the year, this Vampire Diaries actress got down and
dirty with all of her graffiti talk.
2.) “Locked Out Of Heaven”
Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars certainly has a way with words, but even more he
has away with getting us up on our feet. Mixing genres and adding on his
signature pop sound, this was yet another up tempo Bruno Mars staple in music
this year.
1.) “Where Have You
Been”
Rihanna
The queen of dance
pop didn’t stop at all with this one. After a year filled with “We Found Love”,
she followed up with this memorable number complete with her ACTUALLY dancing
in a music video for a change! Well done RiRi!
