know it's not the same as it was in this world welcome to Ms Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 catchiest pop songs released between 2014 and 20124 we'll be considering everything hooks Rhythm vocals and lyrics number 10 work Rihanna featuring Drake [Music] a song can be catchy for all sorts of reasons but in this case good old repetition is to think or blame the title in the chorus alone is enough to Garner Rihanna's work a spot on this list not to mention the singer's sizzling chemistry with then on and off fling Drake but I know you need to get done the lyrics contain dozens of Works in total one of which is Drakes Rihanna is no stranger to paying homage to her Caribbean roots in her music This Time singing over a tropical dance hall beat while work may have gotten over played after its release it's much easier to appreciate in the post anti- Ranna content drought number nine don't start now do a [Music] Lea by doing a full 180 on her sound dual Lipa delivered her catchiest Bop to date don't start now the lead single of her disco infused album future Nostalgia raised her profile and set her apart from the Ava Max's and BB Rex say of the pop landscape the first few seconds of the song tease its Whopper of a before heading into the first [Music] verse and its energy doesn't let up until the end and while it's just a minor production Choice the cowbell adds a lot of character it almost acts as a symbolic alarm to say times up to the ex du was singing about moving on from number eight blinding light the weekend the rest of the song holds up but that electric keyboard Hook is melodic magic 1980s homages were already part of the weekend's brand but blinding lights synthwave influences add a cinematic quality straight out of the decad Sci-Fi movies like Blade Runner and Tron you don't even have to do too much you can turn me on just to touch baby Not only was it the bestselling song of 2020 but it became the most streamed song on Spotify of all time and the longest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100 further evidence of its staying [Music] power of course blinding lights is far from the first time that the weekend released a contagious pop production his dark and sedy take on Michael Jackson in can't feel my face was just a hint of what was to [Music] come number seven bad guy Billy eyh with its booming Bas snapping sound effects and layered Mumble vocals bad guy feels like it was engineered in a lab to possess our frontal loes but despite sounding like it was created by a Full House of producers it was solely the work of Billy ish herself and her brother Phineas so you [Music] it's just with a quirky synrift partly inspired by the Wizards of Waverly Place theme song bad guy has a witchy even Sinister tone throughout as it comments on ish's attitudes towards questionable [Music] men [Music] once things seem to quiet down they ramp right back up with a gritty trap [Music] breakdown number six Havana Camila Cabo featuring Young [Music] Thug breaking out of Fifth Harmony is clearly much easier when you've got this jam up your sleeve while Havana wasn't Camila Cabo's first release as a solo artist the song did so well that it was changed to her debut album's lead single written as a love letter to the singer's Cuban birthplace that piano riff is unmistakably one of the best hooks of the 2010s he took me back to e wa some trap beats trumpet and a guest spot from Young Thug over it and you've got yourself a modern pop classic Cabo still has yet to top the heights of Havana but with a tune like that can you blame her number five as it was Harry [Music] Styles there's only one direction your thumb will go after after hearing this song the replay button Hairy Styles as it was offers a pleasant and Breezy listening experience evoking the feeling of surfing on clear blue Waves to say everything in the seems with its infectious synth Melody and drum pattern it almost brings to mind a ha's take on me it's not the same as it was as it was but don't be fooled by the aforementioned the lyrics to as it was are surprisingly Melancholy and Bittersweet while Styles has released much more rock tinged tracks as a solo artist this is his updated elevated take on the pure pop of his boy band days number four Oldtown Road Lil NAX featuring Billy Ray Cyrus take my horse to the Oldtown Road I'm going to ride till I no more nearly three decades after Billy Ray Cyrus released one of the most annoyingly catchy country songs of all time lightning struck twice and surprisingly it wasn't with the help of his famous daughter instead Oldtown Road introduced the world to L [Music] nosx before the rapper was even known for his sense of humor or provocative videos Oldtown Road Blended country and Hip Hop in a way so satisfying that the remixed version with Cyrus became the longest running number one single ever on the Billboard Hot [Music] 100 it's Brilliance lies in its Simplicity The Bare Bones tune moves at a galloping Pace accessible to anyone and combines two genres that have historically stayed separate wish I could roll back to that old road I want to ride I given its massive success Oldtown Road clearly hit an untapped market number three Shake It Off Taylor Swift good luck ridding your mind of this sick beat that's what people say people say while of course Taylor Swift had previously flirted with straightforward pop shake it off was her official big-time entry in the genre employing the talents of legendary producers Max Martin and shellbach she managed to make the lead single of 1989 her catchiest offering yet got all from its drums and horns to that massive chorus Shake It Off pulls no punches around the fact that Swift would soon be holding an iron fist over the pop zit guys cuz the players going to play play play play play and the hater is going to hate hate ha even more impressively she continued clapping back at the players and haters in the song's equally delectable follow-up Blank Space can't stop won't stop [Music] grooving number two shape of you Ed [Music] Sheeran This song was singularly crafted to stimulate pleasure centers in our brains while no one was really expecting a hookup song from Ed Sheeran the results are undeniably irresistible you know I want your love your love was hand for like thanks in part to repurposing The Melody of TLC's No Scrubs the chorus of shape of you is as tight as a drum and easily the most dancable moment of Sharon's discography I'm in love with the shape of you we push and pull like a magnet do and speaking of percussion the marimba in the instrumental tells you you're getting something different from his usual fair with the very first note after one listen shape of you will be pushing and pulling in your head like a magnet don't say the lyrics didn't warn [Music] you before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions chandelier CA play this song for a good time call going
