Ah yes, all four of the past years have had songs that took the world by storm in similar veins - Get Lucky in 2013, Happy in 2014, Uptown Funk in 2015, and Can't Stop the Feeling here in 2016. One of them failed to make #1 but still held a solid run (Get Lucky). Two of them had double-digit weeks on top, were the #1s of their respective year and also made Billboard's Greatest of All Time chart (Happy and Uptown Funk, the latter of which ended very high there). And one debuted at #1 but disappointingly only had that one week, but is still in the Top 5 at the moment (Can't Stop the Feeling). Not only were they radio dominators, but they even had lots moving by other means such as viral resurgences, and Happy even had a 24-hour video to go with it! They were forces to be reckoned with in more ways than one.
While Get Lucky and Uptown Funk were both disco throwbacks to the classics, Happy and Can't Stop the Feeling were both goofy feel-good tracks off of soundtracks to animated movies. And yet, all four songs just fit in the same mold together. Which of these four tracks takes it best for you?
For me, Uptown Funk > Get Lucky = CSTF > Happy. I find the latter to be decent and very over-hated, I wouldn't say it's great but definitely not terrible like many say. Uptown Funk needs no explanation, and I don't think Get Lucky has held up quite as well as it did when it was new, but it's still a fun track in its own right, and CSTF may not bring much new to the table but for the song it wants to be, it does well for that much at least.
I'm basically expecting Uptown Funk to run away with this one, haha. Maybe Get Lucky will be close behind. But we'll see what others have to say based on their orders! Discuss.

"Uptown Funk" is for sure the best song of this group even though I enjoy them all

I'm gonna be in the minority and say "Can't Stop the Feeling". Such a feel-good song that makes me feel happy and full of energy.
Now "Happy" is also (supposed to be) a feel-good song but I find it fairly annoying. It drags on as well.
"Get Lucky" is a close second for me. Such a great song.
"Uptown Funk" is also really good, but slightly below "Get Lucky" for me.

Get Lucky, followed by Can't Stop the Feeling, Happy, and Uptown Funk in a super distant fourth.

"Get Lucky".
"Happy" and "Can't Stop The Feeling!" are boring as shit and after the massive overexposure and rabid stanning by a certain someone here I never want to hear "Uptown Funk!" again.

Uptown Funk by far. The others don't do anything for me.

"Uptown Funk", even though I love them all a lot. Get Lucky would be in a very close second.

1. Happy
2. Get Lucky
3. Uptown Funk
4. Can't Stop The Feeling!
It's very close between the first three. CSTF! is not in the same league, but still good.

I like all of these, but they were also overplayed to death so I don't really listen to them much. Uptown Funk is the one I probably like the most right now.

I will NEVER get tired of "Happy". Truly the one rare time where a song is that HUGE that I actually adore.

Can't Stop the Feeling is atrocious. It was such a blatant attempt at rehashing all the previous songs just mentioned, especially Happy and UT. Totally deserved its placement on Time's Worst Songs of 2016 (it came in at #1 lmao)
Uptown Funk > Get Lucky > Happy > Can't Stop The Feeling
