“Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd

“Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap
Fetty Wap’s ode to his ride-or-die chick was one of the breakout hits of 2015, propelled to the top of the charts by its addictively catchy refrain, “I’m like, ‘Hey, what’s up? Hello.'” The song helped put the New Jersey rapper on the map and landed him a spot on Time magazine’s list of the most influential people in the world.

“Hotline Bling” by Drake
Another massive hit from Drake, “Hotline Bling” spent four weeks at No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart (kept out of the top spot by The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face”).
