Entering at the tenth spot, Britney Spears' third single from her seventh studio Femme Fatale managed to hit the mainstream radio playlists across the globe.

Tied at the sixth spot are 2 OPM songs and two international hits. The Philippine band Tanya Markova is known as the group that has the uncanny ability to produce tracks that are out-of-the-box. Their first single entitled "Picture Picture" became a hit on various radio and music television charts since early 2010, garnering over 70 thousand views on You Tube. Most of their songs are filled with idiocy, sarcasm, and childish ramblings.

Another song placed a notch in the sixth place is Rhianna's California King Bed. After her upbeat songs like Only Girl (In the World), What's My Name, and S&M peaked at the top spot, Rhianna went into a very diverse direction. The song speaks about a demise of a once-great relationship, wherein Rhianna sings about how she is desperate to let her lover show his real feelings. This track is a good change of pace for Rhianna, although she still follows a routine pop-ballad arrangement. The song gained mixed critics, praising her powerful vocals and criticizing its impact to listeners.Nevertheless, the song gained moderate success in the international scene, reaching the top spot in Poland, and peaking the top five in Austria, Australia, Germany, and New Zealand.

It often interpolates the lyrics from the song Hustlin' by Rock Ross. Party Rock Anthem topped at number one in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Rounding up the fifth spot is from the reunited American hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil's single entitled Lighters featuring Bruno Mars.

Claiming the second spot is the American rock band who become the most prominent unsigned act in a social networking site back then - OneRepublic.
