Don't worry, the other Kesha songs are safe. 80. Far East Movement feat. Dev - Like A G6
YE Position: #37
Yet, another club song, and really that's all it is. However, this one has a good beat, and at least it doesn't shy away from being just a club song to dance to. Lyrics are just the typical things of drinking and partying, and the rappers don't stick out. But again, it's still a pretty fun song to dance to in a club. Nothing to analyze here.

79. Usher - Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)
YE Position: #82
I'll be honest: 2010's Usher is pretty hit and miss. When he's not making songs like Climax and DJ Got Us Falling In Love, he makes hits that range from meh to crap. This one is well, in between the two. Usher still has a good voice, and yet, it's another song where the production is good. However, the lyrics drag the song down. Since the song is about sex, we get plenty of dirty lyrics, which gives us plenty of stupid moments (rhyming Flexin' with Sexin'...WTF is Sexin? XD). So yeah, a typical Usher hit. Nothing special. At least he gets better in the following years...until 2016 came.
BTW, please listen to the original version, or else you'll have a screaming redneck, I mean, Plies.

78. Boys Like Girls feat. Taylor Swift - Two Is Better Than One
YE Position: #72
Other than one song, I never liked Boys Like Girls. They were just a run of the mill pop band. Now, what happens when you bring it a Grammy winning artist who's known for repetitive love songs? You get a cliche plus two, and like the song says...
While the two singers don't sound that bad together, the song is still full of cliches, especially throughout it's lyrics (The way you taste you make it hard for breathing....what?) In fact, even the title sounds like something you'd see that 80's band Chicago write. In the end, two singers still cannot save this, even if well, two is better than one.

77. Carrie Underwood - Undo It
YE Position: #88
Oh god, I keep digging myself deeper in this rabbit hole.
Look, I think Carrie Underwood is a good singer. In fact, I think she sounds good in this. Plus, it's nowhere near as badly written as the past two songs. So what's my beef with it? Well, nothing stands out from it. Yeah, really, it's forgettable. It's just a standard break-up song. Kind of a shame, especially since her past single around that year, Cowboy Casanova, was not bad, since it had more energy. But again, pass.
I swear, one more country song, and that's it.

Now we're heading towards the Alright category. 76. Rihanna feat. Young Jeezy - Hard
YE Position: #49
Yet another artist who I consider overhyped on Pulse. But still, not a bad song.
Like the production and Rihanna gives an good performance. But I don't know, it still doesn't stand out for me, especially considering the singles after this one. Yeah, I got nothing else. Just a standard Rihanna song.

75. DJ Khaled feat. T-Pain, Ludacris, Rick Ross & Snoop Dogg - All I Do Is Win 74. Kevin Rudolf feat. Birdman, Lil Wayne & Jay Sean - I Made It (Cash Money Heroes)
YE Positions: #79 & #80
I only put these two together, because well, they're motivational rap songs. At least I think they are. Plus, they both have memorable choruses. However, while AIDIW's chorus is more iconic, I only ranked I Made It higher because I prefer the artists' performances in it (even with Snoop), especially Jay Sean. Plus, I kinda prefer the production in that one. But yeah, catchy hooks, but everything else is alright.

73. Train - Hey Soul Sister
YE Positions: #3
I had this 10 places higher on the list. But while I do think it's a fun song, I would be lying if I said this is one of the worst written songs of the year. I mean, it's on par with Blah Blah Blah & Eenie Meenie. The entire song consists of dumb pick-up lines that even go to WTF territory.
"So gangster, I'm so thug."
"Like a virgin, you're Madonna, and I'm always gonna want to blow your mind."
"My heart is bound to beat out of my untrimmed chest.
That last one is just...what? However, it has a memorable guitar bass and a catchy chorus to save it from being totally s###. I feel like this song describes Train. Catchy, but not so good songwriters.
