As an avid music listener, I find myself a little grossed out by the kind of songs that are higher up on the popular lists. Most of the time, you'll see songs about booties, sex, and every other word being a swear. And, I love a catchy song about going "Side to Side" as much as the next person, but I believe there are a lot of underrated songs that should be hitting the top ten.

1) You're Such A - Hailee Steinfeld

An upbeat song about breaking away from the "difficult little devil" in your life.

2) Scars To Your Beautiful - Alessia Cara


Who doesn't need a pick me up sometimes?

3) All We Know - The Chainsmokers feat. Phoebe Ryan

We loved that rRover, but what about fighting flames?

4) Sad Song - We The Kings feat. Elena Coats


A light, cute song about being sad without their significant other.

5) The Cave - Mumford & Sons


Pulling this one from ye old 2009, this song has a nice, relaxing feel.

6) Rock Bottom - Hailee Steinfeld feat. DNCE

Another Steinfeld, but this time, making things work between you and your S.O. Love conquers all.

7) Beautiful Now - Zedd feat. Jon Bellion

Basically, no matter what, we're beautiful now.

8) Crazy Youngsters - Ester Dean

This song was the last thing you heard if you watched Pitch Perfect 2 through to the credits. A very up beat song to compliment a great voice!

9) Air - Shawn Mendes feat. Astrid

A mellow, pretty sounding song that you can dedicate to the person who is suffocating you.

10) Stand By You - Rachel Platten


Even if you can't find heaven, there's always something who's sure to walk through hell with you, for you.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
