Taylor Swift – Shake It Off [2014]

The song that is dedicated to Taylor Swift’s detractors. Her music video for “Shake It Off” shows a different side of hers. The song sounds different from Swift’s previous releases. It’s more uptempo and not so country. I like her for this. “‘Cause the players gonna play. And the haters gonna hate. And the fakers gonna fake. Baby, I’m just gonna shake. I shake it off, I shake it off”

Nicki Minaj – Anaconda [2014]

The Nicki Minaj song that heavily samples Sir Mix-a-Lot’s one hit wonder “Baby Got Back”. “My Anaconda don’t.. Oh my gosh, look at her butt”

Iggy Azalea ft. Rita Ora – Black Widow [2014]

The music video that is inspired from Quentin Tarantino’s film “Kill Bill”. “I’m gonna love ya until you hate me. I’m gonna love ya. Gonna love ya, gonna love ya like a black widow, baby”

Sam Smith – Stay With Me [2014]

This week’s number 3 (last week’s number 2) single in Billboard Hot 100 (week of August 30, 2014). That soulful R&B song about the pleading the protagonist’s significant other not to leave him. “Oh, won’t you stay with me? ‘Cause you’re all I need.”

Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass [2014]

The current number 2 single in Billboard Hot 100 (week of August 30, 2014). That song that promotes acceptance to one’s body. “Because you know I’m all about that bass.. ‘Bout that bass, no treble”

MAGIC! – Rude [2013]

First up is the current number 1 single in Billboard Hot 100 (week of August 30, 2014).  That reggae fusion song about a man talking to the disapproving father of his lover. An LSS worthy chorus: “Marry that girl. Why you got to be so rude? Don’t you know I’m human too?”
