2.

I'm a seasoned professional...

I wanna go missin', I need a prescription
I wanna go higher, can I sit on top of you? (Oh-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
I wanna go where nobody’s been (I wanna go where nobody’s been)
Have you ever had fun like this? Oh, woah (Have you ever had fun? Yeah)

 

 

 

Beyoncé, "CUFF IT" (167)

 

1.

Now, I just fell in love
And I just quit my job
I'm gonna find new drive
Damn, they work me so damn hard
Work by nine
Then off past five
And they work my nerves
That's why I cannot sleep at night

I'ma let down my hair 'cause I lost my mind
Bey is back and I'm sleepin' real good at night
The queens in the front and the Doms in the back
Ain't takin' no flicks but the whole clique snapped
There's a whole lot of people in the house

Tryin' to smoke with the yak in your mouth
(Good at night) And we back outside
You said you outside, but you ain't that outside
Worldwide hoodie with the mask outside
In case you forgot how we act outside

 

If you don't seek it, you won't see it
That, we all know (Can't break my soul)
If you don't think it, you won't be it
That love ain't yours (Can't break my soul)
Tryin' to fake it never makes it
That, we all know (Can't break my soul)
You can have the stress and not take less
I'll justify love
We go 'round in circles, 'round in circles
Searchin' for love ('Round in circles)
We go up and down, lost and found
Searchin' for love
Looking for something that lives inside me
Looking for something that lives inside me
 

 

Beyoncé, "BREAK MY SOUL" (185)

I would expect a forum of gays to be a little more discerning in choosing Ren songs than to put Cuff It so high but I guess that’s my fault.  

Between Cuff It and BMS I'm definitely going for Cuff It so! Would rather have AHAP, VG, and whatever else in BMS's place but whatever.

AIW is a bop despite being basic so it's fine with me. No complaints about the top 2 either, for a long time BMS was going to be my #1 but then I decided to have a few songs higher instead. Still a great choice though.

I actually love "Some Nights." But "Call Me Maybe" is one of the greatest pop songs and should have been right up ATRL's alley.

Well, 07 and 08 could have/should have swapped, with Rihanna for "Umbrella" and Britney for "Womanizer." (Funnily enough, those were the number 2s of their respective years!)

 

Gaga had three songs make the top 10 in 09, but Ms. Clarkson was the sleeper cell. Just mass ... liking? And no split votes, as that was the only hit off the album for a while.

I think it did really well because it was the return of this massive, guitar-driven pop sound that had been dormant for a couple of years. ATRL at that time loved the pop-punk sound. "My Happy Ending" was basically considered the greatest song of all time.
