Top 10 Songs of 2013

In my opinion, these are the best songs of 2013, or really just 10 of my favorite songs! 

1. Roar by Katy Perry ~ No shock. I absolutely love Katy Perry. You have no idea. I loved her since I Kissed A Girl and Hot 'n Cold. I used to save only Katy Perry pictures on this old iPod my family shared and I didn't care. I saved them and never deleted any and kept adding. Those pictures are still on there, but we lost the iPod. Roar was the start of Prism, it went viral! I screamed first seeing the lyric video for Roar. I love her and Roar was big for me and 2013. 
2. Royals by Lorde ~ People may say it's the most overplayed song, but I say it's awesome! And every songs like gold teeth, grey goose, stripping in the bathroom, blood stains, ball gowns, trashing the hotel room. We don't care!  It has a great message to society and Lorde, you go gurl! Speak your mind, do whatever you want, we're free people! 
3. Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis ~ What, What, What, What. Ha ha ha ha ha. This song is super catchy and fun! 
4. Harlem Shake by Baauer ~ You gotta love these 30 second videos, they're hilarious! This song (and meme) really sprung out this year and I love it! Did you know Baauer hates this song? His own song! I don't know why, maybe because the meme got it so popular or he isn't proud of it. All I know is that I like it! 
5. The Fox by Ylvis ~ What does the fox say? Ding Ding Ding Ding! While talking about memes/internet trends, This is also so popular and hilarious! What was your favorite wacky sound they made? The first is mine! Ring-ding-ding-ding! 
6. Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus ~ I know what you're thinking. Miley Cyrus? Hel-lo! Have you seen her? Her and her drugs, twerking, and VMA performance! Gross! Her and her career are dead! I DISAGREE! I'm a weird 11 year old. I grew up watching Hannah Montana and thought it was horrible what Miley has done to herself, but I realized that through We Can't Stop, Wrecking Ball, and her new album, I don't care, instead, now I support her. She can do whatever she wants as the same as you and me. Wrecking Ball is great! It's an emotional song about her ex-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth who he later broke up with Miley. 
7. Stay by Rihanna ft. Mikky Ekko ~ This is a great song about a relationship. It's lovely and meaningful. I strongly support Rihanna, I love her music!
8. Counting Stars by One Republic ~ My cousin first had me listen to this song this summer and it rocked! I started hearing everywhere. It's my friend's favorite song, one of Ryan's favorite songs, and I love it too! 
9. Die Young by Ke$ha ~ I always liked Ke$ha, her music was fun and popular and she is care-free and just wanting to have good time. This upbeat song is about having the time of your life and living your life as if you're gonna die young! 
10. Still Into You by Paramore ~ This song is awesome! I've always loved it, especially since Kalel sang it while listening to the radio! That's why this song has a connection to me, because of Kalel. Kalel once even said my name, but she wasn't exactly directed it to me personally. :)

There was a lot of audsome songs this year and here was some of my favorites! Here's to 2014 and its new music!
