30. Replay - Zendaya This year, it was Zendaya who was the Disney star who started on their music career. While her debut album, Replay, underperformed, she found a hit in the single "Replay." The electro-R&B number with a trippy hip-hop beat found itself at #49 on the Hot 100 and is still currently rising.

29. Miss Movin On – Fifth Harmony Fifth Harmony burst onto the scene in an attempt to revive the American girl group scene. THE premier act of The X Factor USA put out a solid EP, Better Together, which was led by the lead single "Miss Movin' On." The top 40-ready song, received acclaim and the girls landed on the Hot 100 and the Mainstream Pop Songs charts.

28. Without me - Fantasia featuring Kelly Rowland and Missy Elliot Former American Idol winner Fantasia had her biggest hit in years with the assistance of Kelly Rowland and Missy Elliot in "Without Me." We love it when Fantasia goes hip-hop on us, and this ladies empowerment anthem garnered Fantasia a Grammy nod for Best R&B Song.

27. Two Black Cadillacs - Carrie Underwood No one sings revenge like Carrie Underwood. We love her sweet stuff, but her dark stuff as well. this song was literally about a murder, and it was good! The song was certified Platinum

26. Beware - Big Sean featuring Jhene Aiko and Lil Wayne "Beware," the solo single we received from Big Sean this year was not typical of his music. Not only did he experiment with a sound, it totally worked. The song was a hit across multiple formats, reaching the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and the top 10 of the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

25. Heart Attack - Demi Lovato "Heart Attack" is Demi Lovato's third-top ten hit and arguably her biggest hit to-date. She sang the heck out of it and the chorus became instant. The song was certified 2x Platinum and cemented Lovato's status as a pop princess.

24. Come & Get It - Selena Gomez Selena Gomez said she was going to try to switch it up with her new album. The lead single from Stars Dance, "Come & Get It" has a infused middle-eastern sound. While it was something different, it still had a Selena stamp on it. Ironically this was technically Gomez's first solo single, the first without her "band", The Scene. Like Lovato, Gomez earned her biggest hit to day in 2013 with this song.

23. Brave – Sara Bareilles Many thought that Katy Perry swagger jacked Sara Bareilles' "Brave" in her single "Roar." In listening, it is hard to deny these claims. Although it wasn't a number one hit, Bareilles got her credit due, as the catchy pop song landed on at #26 on the Hot 100.

22. Neva End - Future & Kelly Rowland Future got Kelly Rowland on board for the single version of his song "Neva End." I hadn't been a big fan of Future's songs before, but this duet with Kelly turned things around. The remixed single made it to #52 on the Hot 100 and was an urban radio hit.

21. It Won’t Stop - Sevyn Streeter featuring Chris Brown

I was a big fan of former RichGirl star Sevyn Streeter's debut single "I Like it." I was slightly salty when it wasn't a big hit, and didn't like her second single, "It Won't Stop." Boy, did it grow on me. Then it was remixed for a single with Chris Brown and was a massive hit, becoming one of the top R&B songs of the year - reaching #30 on the Hot 100.
