Video Script
Prepare to be blown away! Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today, we'll be counting down our picks for the top 10 showstopping songs.

For this list, we've chosen songs that have gained tons of popularity all over, from dance-pop tunes to power ballads…you get the picture.

'''#10: "Mama Knows Best" (2009) Jessie J'''

'''#9: "I Will Always Love You" (1992) Whitney Houston'''

'''#8: "Mambo No. 5" (1999) Lou Bega''' Originally done as an instrumental song by Dámaso Pérez Prado, Lou Bega decided to add lyrics to it in 1999, turning it into a love song for several women, such as Angela, Erica, Tina, Mary, and Jessica, thus making it his debut single. At the time of its release, it was reported that the girls Bega mentioned were all his ex-girlfriends but it's probably beyond coincidence that most of them in the song have names that happen to end in "A." This song was a #1 hit in Germany for over 10 weeks and when import copies started to sell in the UK, RCA released it and it went to the top. It was also a record 20 weeks #1 in France and topped the charts in most other European countries.

'''#7: "Con te partirò" (1997) Andrea Bocelli''' Finally, a non-English song.

'''#6: "Firework" (2010) Katy Perry'''

'''#5: "Time to Shine" (2015) Mélanie René'''

'''#4: "Nothing Compares 2 U" (1990) Sinéad O'Connor'''

'''#3: "If I Were a Boy" (2008) Beyoncé'''

'''#2: "Don't Stop Believin'" (1981) Journey'''

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

- "Hero" (2001) Enrique Iglesias

- "Motto Tsuyoku" (2010) EXILE

- "Dark Side" (2012) Kelly Clarkson

- "Skyscraper" (2011) Demi Lovato

- "Planet of the Children" (2014) Krisia Todorova

'''#1: "Jounetsu no Hana" (2015) EXILE''' Remember Enrique Iglesias' song "Bailando"? The one that featured Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona…remember? Well, about a year later…We found a bigger surprise! EXILE's front singers Atsushi Sato and Takahiro Tasaki have delivered sensual songs about interesting subjects, much like other pop majors, but they took a more direct approach by reshaping "Bailando", and made it even more powerful. However, "Jounetsu no Hana" is a bit slower than that. Complete with a flamenco-inspired melody and breathtaking vocal skills of Atsushi and Takahiro, this early 2015 hit reached a whopping #2 on the Oricon charts, and has undoubtedly blown our socks off. Needless to say, we can't wait for EXILE's first live performance of "Jounetsu no Hana"!
