The 2015/1967 Countdown - 09/14/2016 Update

Today, we return to our 2015 Crowd Pleasers mix, and check out FourFiveSeconds, a fluke one-off collaboration between Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney that quickly became one of my favorite mainstream pop songs of the year.

Powered by one of Rihanna's very best vocals and a fantastic, understated, almost tropical feeling guitar riff, it's a ridiculously catchy tune, and was met with widespread acclaim.  It ended the year at #42 on Billboard's year-end Hot 100, and presently stands at #72 for 2015 on acclaimedmusic.net.

Here's the official video.
