4. Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic It's hard to look right, at you baby. But number 4...call my maybe? The dust has only just settled since this summer tune steamrolled the charts around the world, sung by a girl who didn't even win Canadian Idol. Initially this song was destined for one hit wonder land, but it was picked up by music lovers on a global scale. The song was cute, quirky and relatable. The biggest factor that helped the traction of the song was the fellow celebrity involvement and interest in it. Oh and by the way, Justin Bieber was partially to blame for the Carly Rae and the unusual success of a bubble gum pop composition... The Kardashians were in on it, Ellen Degeneres was a big part of it and even One Direction dabbled in the Call Me Maybe phenomenon. It was like Rebecca Black's "Friday" celebrity craze, only this song was genuinely pretty decent. Every corner you turned or station you turned on, Call Me Maybe was there lurking about to fill your ears. Quite frankly, it still is.
