Maytunes 31: What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction

I felt like I had to end on this one. You probably could see it coming with the whole Brit Invasion and Little Mix being mentioned.

This is their classic song that they will always be known for. It's the song that people who aren't 1D fans have still heard of. So here's their video, and can I just say, they look much more grown up and attractive now than in this video. And their voices have matured as well. But everyone has gotta start somewhere...

ENJOY! And thanks for keeping up with Maytunes!

Maytunes 30: DNA by Little Mix

Girl band! They all have such powerful, amazing voices. Seeing a trend here with these Brits?

Anyways, I love the video on this one too. Dark, mysterious and the makeup is amazing. They all look stunning anyways.

But I must say, I did like the dancing in "Wings."

Maytunes 29: Sweet Melody by Katie Sky

Changing up the mood with a sweet, lighthearted, catchy song. I don't even remember where I first heard it, but it quickly got stuck in my head and I had to download and play on repeat for a few days...

Maytunes 28: Princess of China by Coldplay ft. Rihanna

Of course, I loved almost all the songs on Mylo Xyloto but this one with Rihanna is quite catchy in my opinion.

Maytunes 27: Price Tag by Jessie J ft. B.o.B

I think Jessie J's most famous song is Domino, but I really liked this song. I first heard it on Pitch Perfect, which is such a cute, funny movie by the way. The song is very catchy, and gives a great life lesson.

Maytunes 26: Firefly by Ed Sheeran

Of course, couldn't mention a bunch of British artist without talking about Ed Sheeran. Love this guy's voice. I wanted to mention a song that many people might not know about. It's soft, quiet and romantic, like a lot of his other songs. <3

Of course, he doesn't have any music videos but I'll post a lyric video for you guys.

Maytunes 25: Oath by Cher Lloyd ft. Becky G.

This song is so cute! I know Cher can be hit or miss with a lot of people, but she just seems so real and honest...to an extent that most people don't like because it reminds them too much of themselves - not always in a good way.

Maytunes 24: Set Fire to the Rain by Adele

Adele's albums are so impressive. She is so classy and talented. And this is my favorite song by her.

Here's a video of her singing it live:

Maytunes 23: I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie

This was the band that every wanna be hipster was listening to. And this was their most popular song.

Maytunes 22: A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

It's a sweet love song. Featured in the Breaking Dawn movie. It fits the story perfectly. If only the actors weren't so awkward...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtOvBOTyX00

Maytunes 21: Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia

Another favorite from Pitch Perfect. Good dance/sing along song.

Maytunes 20: Somebody's Heartbreak by Hunter Hayes

Hunter Hayes writes the most sweetest songs! And Bruno Mars was like that on his first album and then his second was like....

But I really love the lyrics on all the songs on the Hunter Hayes album. Such a sweetheart!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20jt6jKMrmM

Maytunes 19: Lucky Strike by Maroon 5

I've grown up with these guys from when I first started getting into music to now. And there were a lot of more famous singles from this latest album, Overexposed. But this song was so catchy! I just happened to listen through the little minute long snippet on iTunes and was immediately drawn in. It's a little dirty, but Adam Levine singing it makes it all OK.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrbteqA139A

Maytunes 18: Poker Face by Lady Gaga

I know Lady Gaga has a whole new album out, but I still like her first one better. And this is my favorite song. Also...might have danced to this one a little bit too much on Dance Central.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bESGLojNYSo

Maytunes 17: Till the World Ends by Britney Spears

And we'll end the throwback with a Britney song. But one of her new-ish songs (from this millenium). Yeah, she does a lot of super pop/dance songs that don't really have meaning. But sometimes, it's nice to just blast some music and DANCE.

Maytunes 16: I Just Can't Wait to be King by Disney

I had to include a Disney song in here when we're mentioning the oldies but goodies. The Lion King was my first and favorite Disney movie so I got to mention a song from there. 

This one is so carefree and Simba is so cute when he is little!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGIoRUlzE2Q

Maytunes 15: Don't Stop Believing by Journey

Classic. What more can I say.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcjzHMhBtf0

Maytunes 14: Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney

He was THE heartthrob of the 90's. And every teenage girl knew him and all the words to this song. I am no exception.

I can't find a music video...so here's him singing it in the studio!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdIx0cc4T1E

Maytunes 13: Thriller by Michael Jackson

How about a throwback? Enjoy some songs of the good old days. Gotta start it off with the king of pop. And who has not done this dance at least once?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOnqjkJTMaA

Maytunes 12: Stronger by Kelly Clarkson

This was the song I was referring to a couple of days ago. Another woman power song. And this song, like yesterday's song is not just about breakups and men. It can be applied to any obstacles that life may throw at you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn676-fLq7I

Maytunes 11: Part of Me by Katy Perry

Speaking of strong women...Katy Perry is definitely one of them. Dare to be different. She's wild and crazy but such a role model that little kids and young adults can look up to.

And this song is my absolute favorite by her. If you can't tell already, I really like strong, rich, powerful voices. It's a song about how no one can bring her down and how to use the pain to do something useful and change the world.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuwfgXD8qV8

Maytunes 10: Heart Attack by Demi Lovato

So I'm totally a Lovatic. And today is the release of Demi's new self titled album. She's been through some rough times and now she is a role model to a lot of people. And her voice is so strong and impressive. And she's a judge on the X Factor. Um, impressive much at the age of 20?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AByfaYcOm4A

I love quite a few songs on this new album: Warrior and Really Don't Care to name some. But this song came out first as a single and totally got stuck in my head for weeks. Love you Demi <3

Maytunes 9: So What by P!nk

A fun, upbeat "I'm cool with the break up" song. I'll have another one of these coming up soon, but tomorrow's featured song/artist is gonna be someone special.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJfFZqTlWrQ

Maytunes 8: Fireflies by Owl City

I first heard this on the radio and was like OH cool it's electronic pop. It was new and different and I liked it. And then I thought I'd like this guy's entire album...but no. All the songs sound too similar for me. But this song is good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psuRGfAaju4

Maytunes 7: Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

Ummm, recent obsession? I don't know what it is about this song. About honestly, Macklemore is a good rapper. Color me impressed.

The beginning starts off really rap song like, and you expect to start talking really fast...but then the music jumps in and makes you want to dance. So the rap actually goes on like a song. And he tries to make the topic so serious that it's funny.

Maytunes 6: Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood has such a strong voice. I love how she almost snarls when she sings the chorus. And she's also drop-dead gorgeous.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaSy8yy-mr8

Maytunes 5: New Divide by Linkin Park

Alright, I promise, last intense song..for now.

I heard this in Transformers and I'm the kind of person that definitely does pay attention to music and musical score in movies. This song stuck out to me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysSxxIqKNN0

Maytunes 4: Cinema Remix by Skrillex

We're continuing with the intense song trend. This was my introduction to dubsteb. And now, I'm obsessed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6lVhGeyXuw

Maytunes 3: My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark by Fall Out Boy

Loved Fall Out Boy back in the day, and now they come back with a iTunes topping winner. Again, intense song, but loooove it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkIWmsP3c_s

Maytunes 2: Radioactive by Imagine Dragons

Loving the intense songs right now. Radioactive is one of those. Intense music, intense lyrics. Like something life changing is about to happen.

Maytunes 1: Mirrors by Justin Timberlake

I wanted to start of the month of May with a song I've been recently obsessed with. "Mirrors."
I'm actually in love with a lot of songs off JT's new album, the 20/20 Experience. He is SO talented: he can sing, dance, and act. And he's not too bad to look at either ;)

Some of his lyrics are a little intense...but because HE is saying it, and the way he says everything so smoothly, it's all good.

Enjoy yourself some JT:
