Note: This list is my opinion based on many hours of comparing songs. It includes pop songs, mainstream hits and crossover songs from other music genres. There are two songs at number 14 (that’s not a misprint) because this isn’t the real 2NE1 song because they didn’t release it yet.  The song “Take The World On” is a fan-made song from a song sample or song samples.  As a result, there are 26 songs on a “25 Best” list.
