Top Ten Biggest Earworms of the Second Half of the 2010s (2015-2019)
Hearing a song that's an earworm can be both a gift or a curse for the listener. If you initially like a song, then the catchiness can mean it's infectious and addictive - you most likely buy or stream the track because you can't get enough. If you however don't like it, then the fact that you can't get it out of your head makes it even more annoying, and you not simply dislike but detest it.No matter if you love or hate these songs - they'll definitely be stuck in your ear.
What's catchy about it:
The sung chorus by Katja, as well as the post-chorus by a robotic, distorted voice.
What's catchy about it:
The main synth melody as well as the "Dad-dad-dad-dad-dad" bit at the end of the chorus.
What's catchy about it:
The women's choir singing "we can't stop and we won't drop / drag us underground but we'll crawl back up" and so on.
What's catchy about it:
The melody in both the verses and the chorus, and the ukulele in the beat.
This is the only song on my original list which I absolutely dislike. "Hey Bro" is stupid, but at least it's somewhat entertaining in a silly kind of way. This has nothing truly fun about it.
What's catchy about it:
The beat, the melody in the chorus and the verses. So basically everything.
What's catchy about it:
Katja repeating the title in both the chorus and the post-chorus.
What's catchy about it:
Especially the "I'm peeling the skin off my face" pre-chorus, but also the chorus and the beat.
Personally, in the most positive sense I don't think this is that much of an earworm. The great thing about P! nk is that while she is successful on the scale of huge mainstream pop stars, her music just isn't that gimmicky and relies on good writing and performances.
