UK charts were fun back then.
Love the Way You Lie, intense.
Shape of You, Ed Sheeran dominated 2017.
Someone Like You, every karaoke night in 2011.
Blurred Lines aged badly.
Old Town Road? No, that was 2019 in the US, different list.
Happy in 2014, unavoidable.
Somebody That I Used to Know, still a banger.
