This one should honestly come with a warning attached, as it is dangerously catchy. This is the second collaboration between the two singers, the first being “I Know What You Did Last Summer” in 2015.

It also went on to sweep a stack of awards, including an AMA, a People’s Choice, two MTV music video awards and a Grammy nomination. On its release, the song was an instant global sensation, charting at number one in a scarcely believable forty countries, including the US. This song was released in 2019 as a supporting single for the deluxe version of Mendes' self-titled third album, and was also included on Cabello's second album, imaginatively titled “Romance”, later that same year. #9 Senorita - Shawn Mendes/ Camilla CabelloĪ Latin-flavored two-hander from Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, this track features castanets, a flamenco-light picked guitar riff, the sort of hook that is destined to nestle in your brain for at least three days, and an extremely sweaty music video. His verse does nothing to explain who or what any of us should be believing. Trivia: The song was re-released in 2019, this time featuring Lil Wayne, who has always seemed to know a good way to make a quick buck. The kind of song that sounds extremely meaningful, even if what that meaning actually is, is not immediately obvious to anyone. The song essentially took over the world upon its release, hitting the top ten in nine countries and featuring heavily in various advertising campaigns, including the likes of Nintendo Switch and the 2017 Superbowl, in addition to underscoring the season finale of Riverdale. With its stop-start dynamic rhythm and vague lyrics, this generic self-help tape is set over a burping clattering racket where every instrument seems to have been mixed to be louder than every other instrument advertising catnip.

Imagine Dragons’ third US top ten single, and lead single for their third album, “Believer”, is almost exactly the same as their first two US top ten singles, at least as far as we can tell. A perfect introduction to both the sort of mainstream uber hits that will be populating this list, and the truly massive numbers we will be dealing with here.
