Best Songs About Being Sorry/Ultimate Apology Playlist

Attention!!!

Sorry seems to be the hardest word since no one wants to give in. If you cannot admit that you have wronged a person and cannot express it with words, why not sing about it. There are many songs about forgiveness, some are about apologizing to another, while others are about how a person who has wronged you cannot be forgiven. With the recent emergence of global hits from the likes of Adele, Justin Bieber and Enrique Iglesias, it is definitely time for an ultimate apology playlist. Adele's record breaking smash hit Hello takes the crown, with Justin Bieber's equally titanic single Sorry takes second place. At third place is Evanescence's emotional unreleased single Forgive Me. Pop rules the roost in terms of genre with just a few Alternative Rock, Hip-Hop and R&B songs. So here are the top 30 songs about being sorry:

1. Adele – Hello
2. Justin Bieber – Sorry
3. Evanescence – Forgive me
4. OneRepublic – Apologize
5. Bryan Adams – Please forgive me
6. Willie Nelson – Always on my mind

Best Reggae Fusion Hits of All Time

Attention!!!

We are all a bit Rastafari at heart. We may not be Rastafarian to the point of doctrinal values but as far as the attitude and practices go, most of us adhere to their carefree ways of life. Reggae was born in the trenches of Jamaica. Jamaican musicians, many of them Rastas, soon blended traditional Jamaican folk music and drumming with American R&B, and jazz into ska, that later developed into reggae under the influence of soul. During the 60s and 70s, Reggae entered the mainstream music industry and flourished until pop and alternative rock took over in the 80s and the 90s. 

While Reggae has never been at the helm of the music industry, nevertheless it has always had a presence through various forms. One such form is Reggae Fusion. Reggae Fusion is a fusion genre of Reggae that mixes Reggae or Dancehall with other genres, such as pop, rock, R&B, jazz & drum and bass. While Reggae Fusion was experimented in the 80s, it was in the 90s that the first wave of Reggae Fusion stormed the charts and this commenced in Europe. Eurodance fused with Reggae produced smash hits which became increasingly popular leading acts such as Mr.President, Dr. Alban, E-Rotic and Vengaboys to fuse their styles with Reggae as well. 

Ace of Base takes the crown as well as second place because they were instrumental in laying the foundation for Reggae Fusion with their first global hit All That She Wants which was followed by the massive hit The sign. I believe the next wave of Reggae Fusion is upon us with the likes of OMI, MAGIC! and R.City gaining international success. So here are the 75 of the Greatest Reggae Fusion Hits of All Time:

1. Ace of Base – All that she wants
2. Ace of Base – The sign

Best Football World Cup Songs of All Time

Attention!!!

The FIFA World Cup 2014 is reaching its peak and we are anticipating the outcome. Will it be Brazil? Turning towards the rhythmic side of the tournament spewing World Cup songs is now a trend as well as a highly paid business. Gone are the days when the Football World Cup was only about football. These days every aspect of the tournament is commercialized even the songs that are released. The much anticipated opening ceremony of Brazil 2014 was a dismal failure as Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte were lip synching the already highly criticized song We are One. La La La by Shakira is to be the main event at the closing ceremony. Let's hope at least she will give the football fans what the performance that they want. Official songs became part of the FIFA World Cup since the seventh edition of the tournament held in Chile. Although the earlier songs were not major hits, it was Arrow's Hot, Hot, Hot in Mexico 1986 that paved the way for the dance oriented world cup songs. Now there are official songs endorsed by FIFA as well as those songs which are made famous by sponsors and broadcasters. Therefore, these are the Best Football World Cup Songs of All Time: 

1. Ricky Martin – The cup of life: France 1998
2. Shakira ft. Freshlyground – Waka waka (This time for Africa): South Africa 2010
3. Arrow – Hot, hot, hot: Mexico 1986
4. Il Divo ft. Tony Braxton – The time of our lives: Germany 2006
5. Shakira ft. Carlinhos Brown – La la la: Brazil 2014
6. Anastacia – Boom: South Korea/Japan 2002
7. Daryl Hall & Sounds of Blackness – Gloryland: United States 1994
8. K’Naan – Wavin’ flag: South Africa 2010
9. Vangelis – Anthem: South Korea/Japan 2002
10. Pitbull ft. Jennifer Lopez & Claudia Leitte – We are one (ole ola) Brazil: 2014

The Worst Songs of All Time

Attention!!!

Well, this took ages to complete, but I guess it was worth the wait. Many songs that are released are not worth taking note of. There are so many songs that we haven't heard of by some of our favorite artists and bands, mostly because we only listened to the singles which they release. Therefore, even if there are bad songs among the unreleased songs, we would not know. However, this list concerns the songs that have been released. This list contains songs that are really bad and excruciatingly painful for the ears, but nevertheless gained popularity and even certain accolades. Heading the list is none other than everyone's "favorite" Justin Bieber (sorry to all the beliebers but he has four songs on the list). Some songs like Chinese Food, Facebook uh oh oh and Popozao have such extraordinarily bad titles, one wonders how they became famous. Well not everyone has awesome taste in music, I guess. 

Revered artists and bands such as Cliff Richard, Barry Manilow and The Beatles are all featured in the list and even multiplatinum artists and bands such as the Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Usher, Beyonce and the Backstreet Boys. It just goes to show that it's not just Rebecca Black or Double Take that come up with horrible songs.  Also we must not forget the film and television actors and actresses that decide that they can sing all of a sudden. Kate Winslet, Eddie Murphy and Heidi Montag are featured on this list and not to mention personalities who are celebrities by profession such as Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline. So here is the list of the worst songs of all time, and I won't say enjoy, for obvious reasons.
