Your top songs of 2013

2013 has been a long year with many great songs and many duds. Now's the chance to reflect on all the songs you have listened to in 2013 and decide on your favourites. The songs must have been released in 2013.
I'm leaving it up to you to decide on a top 10 or 20 or more, since many people have different ideas and such.
Also, the lists can include JPop, KPop, CPop and basically any other kind of music. There really is no place to list both songs by, say, Britney Spears and Perfume in your top 10 so why not here?

Anyway, here's my top 20 songs of 2013.

20. Mika Nakashima - Ai Kotoba
Hate her voice in general, but love the song. The piano gets me every time.

19. MiCHi - Saturday Night
Catchy fun, and a sexy British accent midsection.

18. Ayumi Hamasaki - Feel The Love
Kinda weird for 'ole Ayu to rank so low on the list, but doesn't mean I didn't like the song. It's just that I liked more songs moreso.

17. Angela AKi - Beautiful
A standard ballad that I just ate up.

16. Curumi Chronicle - Gozen jyuuichi ji
Idol pop a la Perfume, but good nonetheless.

15. Perfume - Sweet Refrain
The first of few Perfume songs on the list. A great chorus that keeps me pumped.

14. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - Invader Invader
Leave it to YN to make such a catchy instrumental, and have the wig queen of Harajuku sing over it.

13. Tommy february6 - Runaway
The chorus is pure crack and it's nice that Tomoko's experimenting in EDM.

12. Lady Gaga - Venus
A hot mess that just works.

11. Angela Aki - Yume no Owari, Ai no Hajimari
A shame that Angie released this kind of song this year. If this were 2012, she would have easily been no1 with kokuhaku. But this year, we get a standard-but-still-good song.

10. Koda kumi - Pink Spider
I don't know why Kumi doesn't continue in this musical direction, but she should.

9. Tommy february6 - Fairy Dust
The chorus, man. I feel you, its like diabetes waiting to happen.

8. Britney Spears - Work Bitch
You want a Maserati? (yes)
This song quickly became my MOST quoted of the year, involving me asking everyone and their mothers if they want to look hot in a Bikini or party in France.

7. Perfume - 1mm
My September (back to school jam). Finally learned all the words to it.

6. Amuro Namie - Hands On Me
Namie basically co-dominates the rest of the list,. This song was my summer jam, and boy does the chorus deliver.

5. Perfume - Sleeping Beauty
2013's Butterfly. That's the best compliment ANY song can get.

4. Amuro Namie - Ballerina
Although the sample is about 3 years old, it still sounds good. Especially with Namie's 'I don't give a shit' vocals.

3. Amuro Namie - Heaven
One of my fave Namiengrish songs.

2. Amuro Namie - Alive
My (so far) favourite song of Namie's. Love everything about this song.

1. Perfume - Party Maker
Thanks, Nakata. This song is just what I needed when it came out (and still do). Now I wish they would just get a revamped edge or something one day.

Had I not been distracted by Perfume and Namie, the list would look totally different. I recently reverted back to my old electro ways, which I abandoned when I first started listening to Ayu and slowly went back when Ayu released You & Me.
