Top Ten (Mainstream) Songs of 2013! Since I hate hipsters saying "Remember when music used to be GOOD?", I compiled a list of the best of this year, but only the ones that made the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 (For the first time).

Honorable Mentions: Treasure - Bruno Mars, Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke, When I Was Your Man - Bruno Mars, Let Her Go - Passenger

10. Get Lucky - Daft Punk

Overplayed to death, but as a Daft Punk fan, while this isn't their best, it's still solid, and from one of their best albums.

9. Royals - Lorde

This is the type of music you'd EXPECT to not be mainstream. Minimalistic style, without sacrifcing an overall entertaining song. Incredibly well written.

8. Berzerk - Eminem

If Rap God made the Billboard Year-End list, it'd be here, but it didn't make it, so we'll have to settle for Berzerk, and incredibly well mixed song, and Eminem, while he has his mediocre moments, still helps make this an incredibly fun song.

7. Locked Out of Heaven - Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars isn't perfect, he has a lot of mediocre material, but when he certainly knows how to make good music. Very "The Police"ish, but I love The Police. So there.

6. Heart Attack - Demi Lovato

Nope. Not even explaining this one... JUST GO TO THE NEXT NUMBER

5. Suit and Tie - Justin Timerlake

Incredibly smooth, fun, energetic stuff. I always liked Justin Timberlake, even through his faults, and this is him at his best. Also, Jay-Z is on it, and he's really good too.

And now, because I know none of you expected it, the top four are all rap songs... Three from the same artist... I know.

4. Thrift Shop - Macklemore

Seriously, The Heist was a great album.

3. Can't Hold Us - Macklemore

Like... Really great. Listen to it.

2. Swimming Pools - Kendrick Lamar

So good to see a rapper constantly balancing between underground and mainstream get a popular song. The rhymes all flow incredibly, the lyrics are actually really interesting, and it definitely offers a lot to think about.

1. Same Love - Macklemore

Have you listened to The Heist yet? Like, go do that... Right now.

Feel free to share your own lists below, and even degrade my own opinion... I kind of deserve it... If it's any consolation, I heard Demi Lovato is a bad person in real life, so that's... Something... *Sigh*
