Another incredibly catchy song, Shake It Off will stick in your head for days! A few years ago, we didn’t think Taylor Swift could get more popular and more famous, but she did! This video shows a young, but mature artist, who seems ready to take on the world, head on.

The little girl in Sia’s video is Maddie Ziegler and she’s 12. If you don’t know how can someone dance so well at such a young age, know that this girl began dancing at the age of 2. If you think that her dancing in Sia’s video is amazing, then you should be prepared to have your mind blown away: she did her own choreography, too!
6. Iggy Azalea Featuring Charli XCX – Fancy (Explicit)

Iggy is an edgy girl and this song shows exactly how edgy she is! It’s a nice, party song and video and we believe that this is the main reason it’s been so popular so far. Listen to it, one more time before you leave for work to put you in the mood for life!
5. Jason Derulo Featuring Snoop Dogg – Wiggle

This song is probably the most played song in gyms! While you’re on the treadmill sweating away chocolate bars, this song will make you run a little bit further and a little but harder. What’s pretty amazing is that Snoop Dogg doesn’t seem to give any sings of retiring and we love that! Besides, have you noticed that he looks practically the same as he did a decade ago?! Vampire!
4. Shakira Featuring Carlinhos Brown – La La La (Brazil 2014)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-7knsP2n5w

Shakira’s been around for what seems like forever and she’s the only artist on the most popular YouTube music videos to have two songs featured! That’s quite an accomplishment, but Shakira has always been up for a challenge!
3. Shakira Featuring Rihanna – Can’t Remember to Forget You
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3mP3mJDL2k

Take a look at this video, if you haven’t already, and tell us it’s not one of the hottest videos ever! These two hot ladies seem to play the Who’s Hotter game and it seems that there’s always a tie! The song’s really nice, too.
2. Enrique Iglesias Featuring Descemer Bueno, Gente De Zona – Bailando (Espanol)

Enrique is the type of artist who can have a hit song whenever they want. Ever since he broke onto the scene with Bailamos, Enrique has been putting out hit after hit and this latest one is pretty groovy!
1. Katy Perry Featuring Juicy J – Dark Horse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KSOMA3QBU0

By far, the catchiest song, Katy Perry’s Dark Horse has a wonderful video. Some say that Dark Horse is the best video of all times and I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Until then, hit play and let Katy enchant you.
