I swear, aero usually is last or near the bottom ranks for the number 1 in artist rankdowns, why is that? Because the most obvious pick tends to win, and I'm usually not one to favor an artist's most famous hit. The most obvious song is often one that's deliberately geared towards a mainstream audience, and to me, that's not the best representation of the artist. Sure, it's nice to hear the song on the radio, but it's when you dig deeper through an artist's discography that you truly gain an appreciation for their work and their style. When I rank the #1 lower than everyone else, it's not because I don't like it, but because there are other songs that better represent what I like about the artist. |

#late but great, albeit predictable, winner! But the whole Top 3 was pretty perfect and I would've been happy with any of them taking it, though I was rooting for "Die Young" as it was my #1. Thanks for hosting, Au$tin! |

Die Young would've been my number 1 but Tik Tok would be top 10 for sure.

WAKE UP IN THE MORNING FEELIN LIKE P. DIDDY! "Tik Tok" is such an anthem and I still jam out to it when I hear it like it's 2010. Perfect winner, although the whole top 10 is great!

Great winner! Tik Tok is a great example of a fun, carefree pop anthem that doesn't age  love it still every time I hear it. Still pissed at its blocking Bad Romance, but it's a good song that introduced a Kesha that seemed transparent, with attitude but without taking herself too seriously. I'm a bit sad though that her top 6 was made up only of promoted singles. Her discography is much richer and interesting than her singles! I'm super glad I participated because I learned a lot, discovered great music and increased my appreciation of Kesha. My top 11 has primarily non-promoted songs: Last Goodbye, Animal, Blind (all top 6 deserving), Party at a rich dude's house, True colors, Dancing with tears in my eyes, Hungover... Good to see Your Love as the second highest single though, as this was my runnerup single as well. Thanks Au$tin for hosting!! |
