I tend to find myself detached from popular music pretty regularly. I know what music I like, I have my playlists on Spotify, and I stick to them. Lately, though, I've been trying to keep up with what's hot. So this week, I'll be doing a song-by-song review of the current top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

1. "Work" by Rihanna featuring Drake

This song has spent almost seven weeks on top of the Hot 100, so clearly it has staying power. It's one of Rihanna's best solo tracks in years, and it's undeniably catchy. I also really appreciate Rihanna putting her cultural roots on display with the style and language of the song and still making it a hit. Drake's rap is OK, I guess. Nobody hate me, I'm just not a fan of his. I think the song would be fine on its own. 8/10

2. "7 Years" by Lukas Graham

So, apparently, Lukas Graham is a Danish pop-soul band that has been making music since 2011 and just now released this album worldwide. This single debuted at the beginning of February and almost immediately shot to the top 10. At first listen, I loved this song. The singer had a good voice and the beat was catchy. But then I listened to it again. And I guess the message is fine, but the lyrics just aren't well-written enough to justify the extreme repetitiveness of this song. I can remember the exact moment when I looked at my roommate and said, "Oh. I guess I don't actually like this song." 2/10

3. "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber

Try to find a person who doesn't love this song. It's impossible. I had Bieber Fever for about two seconds in high school, but this song (and honestly, the rest of the album) almost brought it back. Even though it's very obviously written by Ed Sheeran, Bieber plays it off well enough. The easy contemporary beat and the soft trumpets in the bridge really seal the deal on this awesome track. 10/10

4. "My House" by Flo Rida

I guess it's not the worst thing I've ever heard. It's one of the more tolerable Flo Rida songs in recent memory (I'm so thankful that "Whistle" died), but it still isn't great. The lyrics are basic and it's only catchy enough to last a week or so on the charts. I'm surprised it's stuck around as long as it has. The chorus is easily the best part; once people start rapping, I checked out. It's a dull song. 3.5/10

5. "Stressed Out" by Twenty One Pilots

I've loved this band for a couple years now, and while I'm so glad that more people are recognizing them, I'm really wondering why it's this song that got big instead of one of their more pleasant ukulele anthems. Twenty One Pilots has always been one of those bands that defies genre labels and this song is a perfect example of that. Experimental stuff like this rarely gets any airplay, so the fact that this is a top 10 jam still shocks me. Amazing song, though. 9/10

6. "No" by Meghan Trainor

Oh, Meghan. How much longer can our love/hate relationship go on? I'm perfectly ready to accept backlash for this, but I hate Meghan Trainor as a person and I think her values are so backwards and her songwriting is pretty terrible. That being said, I really do like her voice and she knows how to write a catchy hit. So, while I disagree with the majority of what this song is saying, especially how rude it comes across, I can't deny that I love it. This is the definition of a guilty pleasure for me. 8/10 (I'm sorry)

7. "Me, Myself and I" by G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha

At first listen, I kind of liked Bebe Rexha's voice and enjoyed her chorus and kind of thought that G-Eazy's rapping was okay. After the first verse, I couldn't do it anymore. Both of them annoy me to no end. G-Eazy's lyrics aren't bringing anything new to the game and Bebe's WOO-OOOing gets annoying quickly. I guess G-Eazy's been around for a couple years, too? Interesting. How did this song get big, again? 2/10

8. "Pillowtalk" by Zayn

When Zayn broke free of One Direction last year, I was cackling at the despair of all the fangirls, thinking that it wouldn't amount to anything. I guess I was wrong. Though it's a needlessly explicit song, obviously trying to show just how free of his boy band Zayn is, his vocals on this song are killer. Plus, it's really catchy. 9/10.

9. "Cake by the Ocean" by DNCE

Yet another explicit song by a former boy band member, Joe Jonas is back on the charts with his band DNCE. I used to really hate this song. The lyrics made zero sense to me and I hated how it got stuck in my head constantly. Last week, I gave in and finally added it to my favorite tracks on Spotify. Joe's voice is still good as the frontman, and the song is undeniably very catchy. Though I have no idea who the rest of DNCE are (and the rest of the EP isn't nearly as good), this song is very well done. 8.5/10

10. "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" by Mike Posner

Mike Posner stopped being relevant after the release of "Cooler Than Me" in 2010, though he's been trying to release a song that's as popular for years with abysmal results. This one only got big because it lifted the beat straight from Major Lazer's much better song "Lean On." I honestly didn't even finish listening to this one. I was so mad, and I've always hated Posner's voice. This track is as stale as they come. 1/10.

Overall, though I'll probably be sticking with my favorite artists, I had some pleasant surprises here and I'm happier with the state of popular music than I thought I would be!
