Well, here's the list. The list of all the songs I wannnnnt to hate, but just can't dammit.

This is the catchiest bop of all time. No idea why, but it has me screaming "Shake it off" all day long. *shrug*

This is the weirdest song, with a ridicously catchy chorus.

My entire childhood, I didn't think this was a real song. But it totally, totally, is.

11. "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas

The song title says it all.

12. "Wannabe" by Spice Girls

To be totally honest, it's catchy...but the lyrics are creepy.

I want to not like Cardi B, I really do. But her song "Be Careful" is an actual bop. I'm almost ashamed but proud to say I know every.single.word.

14. "Psycho" by Post Malone

Along with Cardi B, I want to dislike Post Malone. And yet, I love him. Literally all of his songs are stupid catchy. Lyrically, some aren't great, but the beats are insaaane.

15. "All Mine" by Kanye West

You seriously can't understand half of the song until Kanye SCREAMS "I love yo titties, because they prove I can focus on two things at once!" Offensive? Probs. Catchy? Damn straight.

16. "#Selfie" by The ChainSmokers

You're lying if this song doesn't want to make you take a #selfie...

I actually like Nicki, but the video for this is even weirder than the song...which I thought was impossible...boom badoom.
