Britney Spears, " Piece of Me ". I remember hearing this song and thinking the lyrics were incredible, especially the part about sneaking away to the Philippines. The auto-tuned verse made it sound like it was from the future. The Cure, " Close to Me ". I just love the way he sings.

1. Icona Pop ft. Charli XCX – I Love It

At the age of just 25, self-proclaimed futuristic pop star Charli XCX is doing the most, and we mean that in the best way possible. With features on her songs from artists like Carly Rae Jepsen, Kim Petras, cupcakKe, and Cardi B to a current spot on Taylor Swifts Reputation tour — not to mention a mission to uphold the "fabulousness" that is the world of pop music — all add up to one thing: the reign of Charli XCX is only just beginning. Given the British-born singer's four studio albums including favorites Pop2 and Number 1 Angel , a string of recent single releases, and a plan to create more music in than ever, we're counting down the best 10 songs she's released so far.
