Best Songs About the Rich/Lush Life

Attention!!!


So on my recent trip to Macau, I witnessed firsthand how the rich and powerful in that part of Asia live their lives. Surrounded by the casinos and the glamorous hotels anyone gets carried away with the helipads, private jets, limousines, heated pools, branded showrooms and of course the service staff that is there to attend at your beck and call. The fancy lifestyles of the celebrities and the superficial lives of the elite who thrive on these little first world intricacies have been the subject of particular songs.

The following hits are all about the lush life. Crowning the list is Psy’s Gangnam Style which is one of the biggest hits of the decade and the first video to hit 1 billion views on YouTube (recently it passed 2 billion views). At second place is none other than hip-hop duchess Fergie with her worldwide hit Glamorous followed by Iggy Azalea’s Fancy. No specific genre stands out as it is a mishmash of genres ranging from Hip-Hop, Rap and Pop to Rock, K-Pop and even a song from a James Bond Soundtrack. So here are the top 15 songs about the rich/lush life: 
  1. Psy – Gangnam style
  2. Fergie ft. Ludacris – Glamorous
  3. Iggy Azalea ft. Charlie XCX – Fancy 
  4. Gwen Stefani ft. Eve – Rich girl 
  5. Rich Gang ft. Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan – Lifestyle
  6. Zara Larsson – Lush life 
  7. Travie McCoy ft. Bruno – Billionaire 
  8. Nickelback – Rockstar
  9. Far East Movement ft. The Cataracs & Dev – Like a G6
  10. Shania Twain – Ka-ching
  11. Chamillionaire ft. Krayzie Bone – Ridin’
  12. Flo Rida – Zillionaire 
  13. Shirley Bassey – Diamonds are forever
  14. Sheila E. – The glamorous life
  15. Madonna – Material girl

Top 40 Floorfillers of Today

Attention!!!

Have you ever felt like banging your head against a wall or punching the DJ in the face at a party as he continuously failed to play a good dance song? Nowadays DJs may be talented in terms of mixing songs, but most of them miserably fail to cater to the audience in terms of playing some good dance music. Sometimes they play one good dance song and move on to another song which is impossible to dance to. This is where a floorfiller comes in. When you play these songs it will be hard for those on the dance floor to leave it. The period has been restricted to this decade so all songs on this list are those that were released after 2010. Pitbull ft.Kesha's addictive global dance hit Timber takes the crown as it is the saving grace of all DJs these days to bait party people to get on the dance floor. At a close second and third are LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem and Don Omar's Danza Kuduro. Most of these songs are duets or collaborations by famous artists who have come together to produce an awesome dance hit. The genres range from Pop, Hip-Hop, European Pop, Latin Pop and EDM.

Best K-Pop Artists/Bands of All Time

Attention!!!

Although Korean Pop or K-Pop entered the global mainstream with PSY's Gangnam Style, K-Pop has existed for some time. Mostly based in dance beats, the genre originated in South Korea which includes  synthesized beats and more recently EDM, dubstep and hip-hop. The modern era of K-Pop was with the formation of Seo Taiji & Boys, however now there are so many boy bands and girl groups which are extremely popular within the genre varying from duos and trios to groups which includes thirteen members. 

Even before Gangnam Style went viral, K-Pop bands such as Girls' Generation, SHINee, Big Bang, Super Junior and 2NE1 were extremely popular in East Asia as well as in the US. The Korean Wave or the Rise of Hallyu began in the 21st century peaking in the latter part of the 2000s and early 2010s. Whilst the genre is probably an acquired taste with repetitive words, bubblegum pop music and random rapping, it is an interesting genre nonetheless with some awesome hits released by the following artists/bands. SNSD or Girls' Generation takes the crown as the best K-Pop band as they are extremely influential worldwide, with millions of albums sold and their videos surpassing 500 million views on YouTube alone. At a close second is the boy band Super Junior which is as influential and at third is the girl group 2NE1 which had their album Crush ranked No.11 on the Billboard's Year-End World Albums Chart. So here are the Best 25 K-Pop Artists/Bands of All Time:
