As we enter the fourth year of the 2010s, there have been some incredible songs that have taken the world by storm.
This series focuses on the songs that made us reflect, helped us persevere through challenges and made us dance the night away.
Today’s tracks that are featured in the countdown will definitely put you in a good mood and should be put in your workout playlist.
50. “I’m Into You”-Jennifer Lopez feat. Lil Wayne
Our countdown kicks off with the sensational Jennifer Lopez’s collaboration with Lil Wayne. “I’m Into You” showcases Jennifer’s seductive voice and some smooth beats from the New Orleans rapper.
49. “Born This Way”-Lady Gaga
The title track to Lady Gaga’s highly successful sophomore album was an anthem for all underdogs everywhere that were teased due of their disability, ethnicity or sexual orientation. I strongly believe that Gaga’s powerful lyrics helped instill self-confidence to millions of people around the world.

Enrique’s energetic “Tonight (I’m Loving You)” was one of the number one dance singles of 2011. The song combined Iglesias’ smooth vocals, DJ Frank E’s catchy techno background and Ludacris’ spirited rap solo that was played on every Top 40 radio station in the country.
