Grooving Through 2015: Today's Top Songs

by Laura Zakrewski

Its 2015, we are already three months in!  With that being said, there have been many songs released so far that have captured the attention of its listeners.  So, here are the top ten new songs that hit it big in the New Year:
10. Blake Shelton- Lonely Tonight
This song is undoubtedly country and it has very touching lyrics.  Lonely Tonight was written by Brent Anderson and Ryan Hurd and the track features country artist Ashley Monroe.  Blake Shelton’s voice is clear and the song has serious crossover appeal that any person could appreciate. 
9. One Last Time- Ariana Grande 
Ariana Grande has quickly become one of the biggest pop stars of today, and 2015 will most likely be a huge year for her music.  One Last Time is a dance-pop anthem that lyrically explains Grande’s desire to be with her ex-boyfriend “one last time”.  This song displays Ariana Grande’s great vocal talents without being too over the top.
8. Lips Are Moving- Meghan Trainor
 At the end of 2014, Meghan Trainor came onto the scene with a vengeance.  She is a rapidly growing artist from Cape Cod that has been getting a lot of radio play lately.  Lips Are Moving has a fast beat that is perfect for dancing.  
7. Blank Space- Taylor Swift
 Taylor Swift has come back yet again and proved to the world that she can do anything.  She has completely switched her genre from country to pop, and she does it flawlessly in the song Blank Space.  This song is all about being independent and strong.  The message is positive for all listeners.   
6. Love Me Like You Do- Ellie Goulding
 This song was featured in the popular movie Fifty Shades of Grey.  She constantly produces hits and collaborates with many other artists.  This British blonde will most likely win many accolades in 2015. 
5. Jealous-Nick Jonas
  This previous Jonas Brother has decided to focus on his solo career, and it seems as if he’s doing a great job so far. Jealous came out last year and is still played constantly on countdown lists.  It has even been remade into a duet with singer, Tinashe.    
4. She Knows- Ne-Yo feat. Juicy J
 This song is Ne-Yo’s comeback and it’s one of those songs that you hear all the time in the car.  It has a perfect blend of rap and hip hop, so expect to hear even more of this song.     
3. Thinking Out Loud-Ed Sheeran
 Thinking Out Loud is written with beautiful lyrics about loving your significant other forever.   It is a song that will most likely be played at weddings and the accompanying video is very romantic.    
2. Uptown Funk- Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars
  This song has a throwback vibe that has hit it big all over the world.  Its radio play has been non-stop since its debut.  Right now it is number one on the Billboard Top 100 because of its complete uniqueness.
1. Sugar-Maroon 5
 Maroon 5’s recent hit is by far one of the best songs of 2015 because it never gets old.  This song has disco-funk feel to it and the video is based off of the movie Wedding Crashers.   
             This New Year is just beginning and it already has been a great year for music.  The future will most likely have hits from these artists and many others, so be prepared
