Top-Rated Pop Songs for No More than $0.69

Listen to the timeless 1967 hit from the "The Queen of Soul" herself, Aretha Franklin. While it was originally written and released by Otis Redding in 1965, the slight modifications to the lyrics turned it into a feminist anthem. 

Redding's story was of a desperate man who doesn't mind being treated wrongly, as long as he gets "respect" when he brings money home. Franklin, however, was the strong and confident woman who never did her man wrong and, thus, demands respect. Aretha Franklin's hit is often regarded as one of the best R&B songs, earning her two Grammys in 1968.

Only Time by Enya

Irish musician Enya released this song in 2000 as the lead to her fifth album "A Day Without Rain," topping charts in Canada in multiple countries in Europe. It also peaked at number ten on the Hot 100.

The new-age track is perfect for rainy days or for people looking for relaxation while studying or meditating. Enya's chant-like vocals, her Irish accent, and softly undulating rhythm backing her up made "Only Time" one of her best hits, and rightfully so.

Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield

With its memorable chorus, "Feel the rain on your skin/ No one else can feel it for you/ Only you can let it in," Natasha Bedingfield's breakthrough single is a modern classic. It is even heard in the reality TV show "The Hills," as well as movies "Ice Princess" and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." 

The upbeat song radiates positivity in its verses, made stronger with the gospel choir accompanying her towards the bridge. In other parts of the world, the iconic chorus has been the flagship theme for radio and TV ads of haircare brand Pantene.

Moves Like Jagger (Studio Recording From The Voice Performance) by Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera

The electropop-disco song and 2011 party anthem "Moves Like Jagger" is perfect for those looking to put a healthy dose of energy in their playlists. Aside from lyrics referencing The Rolling Stones' frontman Mick Jagger, Adam Levine, and Christina's Aguilera creates an intimate atmosphere in the middle of the loud and electrifying music.

"Moves Like Jagger" was monumental in both Maroon 5 and Aguilera's career, adding a number one notch on their respective records by topping the Billboard Hot 100 shortly after it debuted at the 8th spot.

Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot

Another timeless classic from the Canadian country music legend, Gordon Lightfoot, "Sundown," makes a perfect addition to your easy listening playlists. "Sundown" evokes long afternoon drives or those old western saloons, with Lightfoot's groovy vocals going over lyrics such as "I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress/ In a room where ya do what ya don't confess."

With only his guitar on "Sundown," Lightfoot follows his other classics such as his cover of "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Early Morning Rain."

You Are The Reason by Calum Scott

The youngest entry in this list, this surprisingly affordable hit song, is a must-have in any playlist. Calum Scott first released "You Are the Reason" in 2017 as a part of his debut album "Only Human."

As one of 2017's best-selling hits, it has more than five million copies sold around the world as well as more than one billion streams across audio and video streaming services.
