The
year is coming to an end, and while we’re ready to usher in 2013 with open
arms, we can’t help but look back at our fave tunes from 2012. We’ve put
together the perfect playlist of jam-worthy hits for these last two days of
2012.
Make
sure to grab your friends, ‘cause this soundtrack will have ya reminiscing
about the year together…and up on your feet, dancin’ to the beat!
“Call Me
Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen
This
song is totes our anthem. It’s perfect for singing along in the car and
choreographing dances.
“Ho Hey” by
The Lumineers
This
song made the list because we can never seem to get the quirky beat out of our
head.
“Boyfriend” by
Justin Bieber
No
dance playlist would be complete without a song by the Biebs. We chose his
biggest hit from the year, natch.
“Some Nights”
by fun.
Talk
about a jam! This tune is absolutely irresistible when you need something to
sing along to.
“I Won’t Give
Up” by Jason Mraz
While
this song is a bit slower, we love the build-up of the chorus. Anything by
Jason Mraz is beautiful, including this tune.
“Domino” by
Jessie J
This
girl-power anthem is perf for hangin’ with your buds, or while doing homework,
or…any time, really!
“Starships” by
Nicki Minaj
Her
singin’ style is totally wacky but we’ll admit, we can’t get enough of
it—especially in this big 2012 song.
“What Makes
You Beautiful” by One Direction
Um,
hello, how could we ever leave out our lovely British heartthrobs? Sigh, this
tune makes us think of summer.
“Somebody That
I Used To Know” by Gotye
Totally
weird, but also totally catchy. We were a little unsure of this song when we
first heard it, but it soon skyrocketed in the charts and we fell in love.
“Lights” by
Ellie Goulding
This
one is also a bit quirky, but we adore Ellie’s voice and the chorus is an
all-out dance party.
“Where Have
You Been” by Rihanna
Rihanna’s
songs always have us up on our feet, and “Where Have You Been” is no different.
We love the mysterious vibe it’s got, too.
“We Are Never
Ever Getting Back Together” by Taylor Swift
Every
good playlist needs an awesome breakup song. And what’s better for 2012 than
this Tay Swift hit?
“Gangnam
Style” by Psy
The
Korean tune that swept the nation through the Internet, Psy’s “Gangnam Style”
was a no-brainer for the perfect 2012 playlist.
“Give Your
Heart a Break” by Demi Lovato
Just
as ya need a breakup song, you’ve gotta include something for when you’re in a
relationship. Enter Demi Lovato, with her heartwarming 2012 tune.
“Glad You
Came” by The Wanted
Our
other fave British boy band, The Wanted’s “Glad You Came” gets stuck in our
head in a second and has us singin’ all day long.
