HHIR's Year-End Lists, Part 1: Top 7 Guilty Pleasures of 2007

You know these are true...
And if they aren't, then feel free to laugh at me...
;-D

#7


Gym Class Heroes - Cupid's Chokehold
I'm sorry, but the fact that they sampled Supertramp and totally Hip-Hopped it out was Grade A in my book. Did it get annoying as f*ck after a while? Absolutely! But I dug into this one for a while...



#6


Smitty + Robin Thicke - Died in Your Arms Tonight
Okay, I guess I just like songs that sample other songs that I already like. Scott Storch flipped this 80's classic into a frenzied club banger with a catchy hook. Based on the consensus of practically everyone I know, however, this song was wick-wick-WACK. But I dunno... I kinda got hooked in.



#5


MIMS - This is Why I'm Hot
In my review of this song earlier in the year, I stated that the track had "mundane lyrics." And boy were they mundane! But this was the kind of track where it didn't really matter... I liked this song 'cuz it was hot. If you didn't, then you're not!



#4


British Girls
Now I'll be honest: British girls are always my guilty pleasure. LOL. Who doesn't love a British accent? I digress...
Our friends from across the Atlantic owned the music scene this year, particularly during the first half. Cheers!



#3


Ciara - Like a Boy
So addictive. Word to 50.



#2


Beyoncé - Irreplaceable
Yes, I know the song was originally released in late 2006. But I only really got into it in '07, and it stayed on repeat on nearly every radio station for at least 4 months. Great song; very catchy.



#1


Rihanna's album:
Good Girl Gone Bad
One word:
'-ella.'

...Seriously though, this album was nice. You know it.



More lists coming soon!
Stay tuned...
