Have you seen our list of the top 100 songs of the year? We picked a No. 1, of course. But we want to know what you think, so we gave you these 32 songs in four brackets—Pop, Rock/Country, Dance and R&B/Hip-Hop—to choose from.
Our No. 1, Carly Rae Jepsen‘s “Call Me Maybe,” has been upset in the first round by Cher Lloyd‘s “Want U Back,” which has now made it all the way to the finals, triumphing over fun. and Janelle Monae’s “We Are Young.” There, it faces G-Dragon’s “Crayon,” which absolutely obliterated Meek Mill and Drake’s “Amen” in its final four matchup.

Round Five (12/20 - 12/22)
What: Want U Back
Who: Cher Lloyd
Why: Cher Lloyd's unapologetically narcissistic post-breakup lament made for one of the year's catchiest, most quotable and most relentlessly imitable pop singles.
[Listen]
What: Crayon
Who: G-Dragon
Why: "Crayon" was one of the year's goofiest, least-predictable and most stupidly thrilling pop songs. We're guessing that knowing what the lyrics meant wouldn't help make it much more intelligible—hoping, really.
