11. Nicki Minaj - Super Bass
(written by Maraj, Johnson, Dean; 2010; Released April 2011; UK #8)
There is little in life to be thankful for what Taylor Swift has bought to the music industry, however all was forgiven when she declared on US radio that one of her favourite songs of the moment was a bonus track on some versions of Nicki Minaj's album 'Pink Friday'. What she started became nothing short of a phenomenon in the US, for said song, Minaj's Super Bass, which Swift then proceeded to rap on air, was picked up nationwide and 'forced' dear Nicki to release it good and proper. With all the boom-badoom-booms it was the type of song that got lodged in one's head (and the US top 10 for a record amount of weeks), but it is nothing like an unwanted house guest.
