The Best Love Song: Reason #21

On a random day in December 2011, I took a glance at the top 20 songs on iTunes. The list is below, and using this title search, it proves that loves songs ain’t love songs no more. And that’s why Bryan Adams 90s classic “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)” is the best love song of all time. To prove the worth of reason #21, I’ve put an asterick next to the songs that might be about real love. How do you feel about these songs? Are they a good representation of the values Americans have in the 21st century?

1. We Are Young
*2. We Found Love
3. Sexy and I Know It
4. It Will Rain
5. Good Feeling
6. The One That Got Away
7. Survivor/I Will Survive
8. Red Solo Cup

17. Party Rock Anthem

Reason #21: “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)” is better than any of the top 20 songs on iTunes in December 2011.
