Just the two most famous and acclaimed modern poets together, no big deal. Between them 24 Grammys and 1 Pulitzer
Haven't listened much to this in the last few years, and the biggest thing I notice is
instead of the standard remix of putting a rapper in the bridge of the song, Kenny is put up front in verse 1 AND 2!
They've both all done much better work but it's still lots of fun.

This video freaks me out because she has that one weird dance and just keeps doing it and doing it.

lol! I'm guessing the goal was to learn all the dances. I do like its celebration of other cultures, but it's weird when most the people in lead positions are white. Sorta like in the "Uptown Funk" video where suddenly its Marc Ronson amid a sea of POC, but at least usually he's just bopping in the background. Song is pretty good tho -- like that Diplo. I'll spare y'all a long appreciation vs. appropriation rant again.

Gonna predict this'll probably be her song most known decades from now.

Billboard agreed with you. According to their numbers, Shake It Off is by far her biggest hit. Debut at #1, stay there for four weeks, and then remain in the top 10 for six months. Impressive.

I didn't realize that song was performed by someone I don't recognize. I know the song... I just would have guessed it was by someone more famous.

Honestly not a lot of Bieber on this list, right? Kinda surprising. (I get he'll have at least two more songs, including a probable #1, in later years)

Yeah, I also thought Bieber sang Fight Song, Mike.

Oh right. Her. I thought 22 was Event Horizon, the song that will now be stuck in my head all day.
