'Single Ladies' is undoubtedly one of the catchiest pop tunes of the last decade! Who can forget that famous dance?!
Katy Perry: 'I Kissed A Girl'

Taylor Swift: 'Love Story'
These days Taylor releases massive pop tunes such as 'Blank Space' and 'Look What You Made Me Do', but back in 2008 the singer's country roots gave her major success, including this amazing single 'Love Story'.
Lady Gaga: 'Just Dance'
Unbelievably it's been 12 years since pop princess Lady Gaga first made waves in the music industry. She released her debut single 'Just Dance' in 2008 and the rest is history.
