1) AWOLNATION ~ "Sail" (Yes, technically, I did post an a cappella cover of this song a couple weeks ago, but in my book that doesn't count.)
2) Katy Perry ~ "Unconditionally" (She has her faults, topically and lyrically speaking, but I have to give Katy Perry props for crafting some really good pop songs.)
3) Maroon 5 ~ "Love Somebody" (I've heard this song I don't know how many times, but I'd never seen the video till now – it's weird. Good song, though!)
4) P!nk ~ "Try" (P!nk never ceases to amaze me – she's consistently awesome!)
5) The Band Perry ~ "DONE." (Good song by a good modern country band – but I really wish those brothers would get new hairdos – Ughsville!)
6) Lady Gaga ~ "Applause" (Somewhat questionable video, but a catchy song – annoyingly so!)
7) One Direction ~ "Story Of My Life" (I must grudgingly admit that this is a surprisingly good song!)
8) Taylor Swift ~ "I Knew You Were Trouble" (I know I should be embarrassed to admit it, but I really like [and own most of] Taylor Swift's music – this song is no exception!)
9) Baauer ~ "Harlem Shake" (Don't worry, there's no booty shaking in this video – it's audio only.)
10) Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Ray Dalton ~ "Can't Hold Us" (I wish this guy didn't pepper the majority of his songs – this one mostly excluded – with foul language, because if so I would probably buy and listen to his music. Oh, well...)
11) Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams ~ "Get Lucky" (It's an undeniably good tune, but I can't in good conscience recommend the lyrics. Big hit, though.)
12) Eminem ft. Rihanna ~ "The Monster" (Sorry, music purists, I couldn't post the official music video for this one. It contained a couple of un-family-friendly words that weren't bleeped, and I prefer to keep it PG here.)
13) Lady Antebellum ~ "Downtown" (This one's obviously meant to be tongue-in-cheek, and that's a good thing. 'Cuz if not…)
14) Carrie Underwood ~ "Two Black Cadillacs" (A darker song for Carrie, but no less enjoyable than her cheerier hits. Sorry that Sound Of Music Live! thing didn't work out so well for you, chica…)
15) Icona Pop ft. Charli XCX ~ "I Love It" (Again with this song, I couldn't post the original music video because of some uncensored lyrics, but the clean version is just as good – no, better! – to me, even if it's not actually a video.)

BONUS TRACK: Ylvis ~ "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)" (Would you believe I never even heard this song till last week? I didn't say "heard of" – I first heard of it a few months ago, but had somehow managed to avoid it till recently. I'm sorry it took me so long to experience it, because the song is hilarious – not epic, but hilarious – as it was obviously intended to be.)
