Sales rank: No. 32. 32"Good gracious." HUMBLE, Kendrick LamarSales rank: No. 50. 5. 1-800-273-8255, LogicSales rank: No. 1 on the Hot 100, Congratulations was a preemptive victory lap for an artist who finished 2017 as one of the year’s most unexpected defining artists. 3. Sign of the Times, Harry StylesSales rank: No. Magnolia, Playboi CartiSales rank: No. T-Shirt, MigosSales rank: No. 41. Slidewasn’t the biggest-selling song of … "A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega" It's "Dah-LON-e-ga" — one of the real, barely-mapped … Sorry Not Sorry, Demi LovatoSales rank: No. This was less a year for the Katy Perrys and the Taylor Swifts than the Cardi Bs and the Khalids, as musicians  that began 2017 as no-name artists or Soundcloud oddities are finishing as the year's best-selling artists. The very best party songs are Trojan horses for bigger emotion, and while Slide isn't interested in getting too deep, Ocean nails the slipperiness of youth and sex and relationships when life seems too full to make anything other than empty commitments, down to the sly come-on of the song's chorus: — "Do you slide on all your nights like this? Selena GomezSong rank: No. 4. 21 SavageSales rank: No. 40. 23. Wild Thoughts, DJ KhaledSong rank: No. 37 Then there's Horan's former bandmate Liam Payne, whose new, dutifully steamy R&B persona gave way to the wanna-be banger Strip That Down, a song that's at least amusingly bad rather than forgettably so. 1. Castle on the Hill, Ed SheeranSales rank: No. 2017 was a groundbreaking year in pop music in which an exciting new generation of young artists bolstered by streaming challenged the big stars and their stale album rollouts to create the most interesting Top 40 music we've heard in years. 42. 27 Who knew, among all the baby-faced young stars of his generation, that the Charlie Puth of hyper-earnest See You Again fame could make creepingly enjoyable pop songs. 41A song that sounds created in a lab to soundtrack credit card commercials, Feel It Still was one of 2017's most formulaic hits that came from a totally unexpected band, longtime indie rockers Portugal. 20Not only was Cardi B the Cinderella story of music this year, her breakout single was a fiery, instantly-quotable revelation, a song that became a rallying cry for underdogs and strong women and anyone else trying to make money moves. 35 A phoned-in Migos track that shows the famously-boisterous rappers near-flatlining. 3. Slow Hands, Niall HoranSales rank: No. 26A Canadian crooner positioned as a safer, sweeter Justin Bieber, Mendes doesn't quite have Bieber's knack for crafting irresistible pop singles, though he gives his all attempting to be feisty on Holdin' Me Back. 5Released months before Rockstar launched Post Malone to No. 2. Fans' first taste of Harry Styles' solo career came via Sign of the Times' sweeping Elton John nostalgia, a preview of one of the most surprisingly solid debut albums of 2017. 3Lamar has never sounded simultaneously more and less than on his bouncing No. 8. Shape Of You. Location, KhalidSales rank: No. 39That being said, LWYMMD isn't much better, and should be enough to dissuade any future pop stars from using any Right Said Fred samples. Strip That Down, Liam PayneSales rank: No. 19 The defining single of Lamar’s DAMN era, DNA saw the rapper cementing his status at the top of hip hop, asserting his superiority while challenging every force in his path. 21. 44. 7. November 29, 2017 3:22PM ET 50 Best Songs of 2017 Cardi B’s money moves, Harry Styles’ classic rock breakout, the record-breaking “Despacito” and more No. Then, we ranked them, starting with the year's most disappointing best-sellers, and working our way through the list to determine 2017's defining singles. 1. I'm the One, DJ KhaledSales rank: No. 24. 39. 36. 28During a year when the rapper's breakout hit arrived alongside jail time and assault allegations, Black's 2017 legacy will likely be the inspiration Cardi B drew from his name for her track Bodak Yellow, and not for his own middling musical output. 25. Issues, Julia MichaelsSales rank. 16. Now Or Never, HalseySales rank: 46Just listen to Rihanna's Needed Me instead of this skim-milk ripoff. Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber) [Remix] - Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. Passionfruit, DrakeSales rank: No. 29 Love was a little too syrupy to become Lamar's best single of 2017, but it was fun to hear the virtuoso rapper attempt Drake-esque, radio-ready crooning. No. Ed Sheeran. 7It wasn’t the best single of the year, but no song better encapsulated the end-of-days climate of 2017 than XO Tour Llif3, from a come-from-nowhere Philadelphia rapper whose ascent to stardom was reason enough to celebrate the song. Slide, Calvin HarrisSales rank: No. Sounding like an endless summer night and combining career-best production from Cavin Harris with on-point appearances from the Migos, the song's real blessing is its rare Top 40 appearance from R&B's mystery man Frank Ocean, whose verses elevate the song from being just another disco-flavored dance single with his casually-sung stories of hedonistic nights "(All this jewelry ain't no use when it's this dark / It's my favorite part, we see the lights, they got so far"). 26. 1 single in the same year as Shape of You, but by golly, Bruno Mars was determined. Stay, Zedd & Alessia CaraSales rank: No. 49. Bank Account, 21 SavageSales rank: No. 8Hunt stuffs all the country metaphors you can think of and then some into his breakthrough pop hit, with enough charm to win over the cross-genre masses. 21For a song about taking losses, Big Sean really should've tried harder on this one. Despacito. 38. 45. Plus, a chorus about turning on your phone's location sharing is a little on-the-nose for a track about modern dating. 22Bad Liar was Gomez’ actual best track of 2017, but her quietly devastating vocals on It Ain’t Me were proof that not every pop stars’ EDM collaboration has to be soulless. Attention, Charlie PuthSales rank: No. Mask Off, FutureSales rank: No. 11This collaboration between two of pop's most white-bread personalities had more of a heft than it should've. 36The ballsy, brassy single many Lovato fans had been waiting for, Sorry Not Sorry showed off the pop star's very best assets: her devil-may-care attitude and and her throat-shredding vocals. Perfect, Ed SheeranSales rank: No. Unforgettable, French MontanaSales rank: No. 14. But the MVP of Wild Thoughts is Rihanna, who even in an album off year cemented her status as pop’s most consistently entertaining player. 31. USA TODAY worked with BuzzAngle Music and Mediabase to pull the 50 biggestsongs by the numbers (taking into account sales and streaming) released in 2017. 30. 12. Slippery, MigosSales rank: No. 34. 37. 49 This swaggering Young Thug collaboration was the moment Cabello convinced many listeners that she was far more than a former fifth Fifth Harmony member, and could have a future as one of pop's biggest young names. 28. 32. Slide wasn’t the biggest-selling song of 2017, or the most influential, but it was the best. 18 A servicable EDM collaboration that, like much of Alessia Cara's output, is enjoyable in a faceless, Spotify-era Muzak kind of way. Thunder, Imagine DragonsSales rank: No. 03 January 2018 The Top 40 biggest songs of 2017 on the Official Chart Featuring eleven Number 1s, including Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris and Clean Bandit. The Man. The ManSales rank: No. 15. 45 out of 50Slim Jimmy and Swae Lee's cringeworthy follow-up to their 2016 hit Black Beatles doesn't even come close to its predecessor. 24After his maddeningly inconsistent 2016 release Views, Drake became loveable again on More Life this year, with Passionfruit the peak of his island-inspired experimentations. 19. 47. RihannaSales rank: No. Below, see our ranking of the 50 biggest songs of 2017, ordered from worst to best. In Case You Didn't Know, Brett YoungSales rank: No.
