This song already has a new version with Beyonce in it called the “Perfect Duet.” The “Perfect Duet” has already helped Beyonce score her first No. 1 hit in 9 years.
Rockstar by Post Malone featuring 21 Savage is a hip-hop/rap song that is very catchy and popular. The rapper, Post Malone has been seen stage diving while performing this multiple times.

Gucci Gang by Lil Pump was released on August 31, 2017, and is still in the top 5. This is Lil Pump’s highest charting single to date.

Gucci gang is again another party song that is fun to play when out with friends.
Thunder, by Imagine Dragons, was released April 27, 2017. This is Imagine Dragons fourth top ten hit that they have released throughout their albums. The song is one that the popularity stretches to all people and is something that is very common with most of Imagine Dragons songs that become hits.
