Comment: This is a pretty good list right? I think what makes it so good is Lordes. Now true, Miley is at # 1, proving once and for all that nobody has lost money overestimating American’s lack of taste (a knock, but only because it’s such a lousy song, but Lordes is really good: she’s like a younger, English Lana. And at least half these songs are pretty good.
