In honor of 2011, and it currently being the 11th month of 2011, I would like to put out my top 11 songs of 2011. These are all songs that were released this year, 2011. There were a few that I had to leave off because they were released late last year, but gained popularity this year, such as “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele and “If I Die Young” by the Band Perry. Without further ado, in order, here are the Top 11 songs of 2011:
11. Friday – Rebecca Black
I had to. I just had to. Not because it is so good, but because people could not stop talking about it for weeks, which turned into months. You have to admit the song is kind of catchy, and if done right, it could have been a decent song. I rank this in my top 11 due to how it made people know about Rebecca Black.
10. Pumped Up Kicks – Foster the People
No rap, hip-hop, auto-tuning, or electronic composition here. Just good lyrics, good rhythm, and a feel-good vibe. It kind of sounds like they are singing in a parking garage or something, but that part of it gives the song a unique sound.
9. Give Me Everything – Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo, AfroJack, & Nayer
The ultimate dance club song. Whenever I hear this song I think of being at a club and dancing with a bunch of people in their 20’s having a good time. This song has probably been played at a lot of clubs, too.
8. Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) – Katy Perry
All I’m gonna say about this song is that it’s a great party song and the song is backed by its creative music video. So far, this is my favorite Katy Perry song of the year.
7. Honey Bee – Blake Shelton
I had to include a country song, and this is my favorite country song released in 2011. This song just describes how every couple feels when they’ve found “the one”. I love listening to this song every once in a while.
6. Tonight Tonight – Hot Chelle Rae
Never heard of this band before, never really had an interest in them until I heard this song. It just is a quality song and is extremely catchy. Good song for high schoolers trying to live out the best years of their lives.
5. Born This Way – Lady Gaga
My favorite Lady Gaga song of 2011 (sorry Edge of Glory). I just love how she kind of made this a statement song about herself. Also, check out the music video, it’s definitely worth a watch.
4. The Lazy Song – Bruno Mars
This seems like the anthem for all the lazy guys that do nothing after high school. It’s got a nice, almost Jamaican beat to it, and the music video is hilarious with the monkeys dancing behind Bruno. This is also the first of my two songs on this list to feature whistling.
3. Party Rock Anthem – LMFAO
I’m not a huge HUGE fan of this song, but it is a great song to work out to and there really is nothing out there quite like it. I can’t help but dance or move when I hear this song. It was released in January of this year and is still near the top of the charts. It’s success on the charts puts it up this high on my list.
2. Stereo Hearts – Gym Class Hereos ft. Adam Levine
This should almost be called Stereo Hearts – Adam Levine ft. Gym Class Heroes, because the true star of this song is Adam Levine, the lead singer of Maroon 5, with his amazing vocals. He and Gym Class Heroes worked really well together and made a great song. But that wasn’t the only great song Adam did this year…
1. Moves Like Jagger – Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera
I love this song. Not only is it done by my favorite band, but it’s a good workout song. You just can’t help but whistle when the whistling parts come up. I loved this song from the first time I heard it, so that makes it my #1 song of 2011.
