That last one has some insane tuba lines, often coupled with synth tuba, which creates some cool glissando effects. I'd be happy with this top 10 in a Pazz/Jop, not that I wouldn't welcome better stuff, so I'll try hunting down your all's pix.

20 Singles in some order:
“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” - Taylor Swift
“Mirando al Cielo” - Roberto Tapia
“One Thing” - One Direction
“Stupid Hoe” - Nicki Minaj
“Somebody That I Used to Know” - Gotye
“Call Me Maybe” - Carly Rae Jepsen
“What Makes You Beautiful” - One Direction
“I Belong In Your Arms” - Chairlift
“Wut” - Le1f
“Candy” - Robbie Williams
“Gangnam Style” - Psy
“Spring of Life” - Perfume
“Gossip” - Big Boi ft. UGK & Big K.R.I.T.
“Marriage Made in Hollywood” - Bonnie Raitt
“Pop That” - French Montana ft. Drake, Lil’ Wayne and Rick Ross
“Big Mouth” - Santigold
“Sin Respiracion” - Banda el Recodo
“Mamireru” - Kimura Kaela
“Springsteen” - Eric Church
“Survival” - Muse

If there's voting I'll probably end up voting for Taylor and Psy, which I get the sense are Taylor and K-pop for people who don't like Taylor and K-pop, but I do love them.
