The Top 500 Songs Of 2012 - Part 49 of 50, #20-#11

#20 Japandroids - "The House That Heaven Built" from "Celebration Rock" - Japandroids enjoyed a surprising critical break-through in 2012 with their uniquely fuzzy take on garage rock.  This song (along with the album it's on) made a number of the biggest year-end best of lists. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRVCtbfuDqw

#19 Carly Rae Jepsen - "Call Me Maybe" from "Kiss" - I'm always a sucker for a perfect pop song, no matter how cheesy the song (or the video) is. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWNaR-rxAic

#18 Jack White - "Love Interruption" from "Blunderbuss" - It was a tough call to determine which song off of Jack White's solo debut would get top billing, but I'll give it to this ballad. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iErNRBTPbEc

#17 Fun. - "Carry On" from "Some Nights" - The lowest ranking of three Fun songs in the top 17, the most successful band in the 2012 rankings. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7yCLn-O-Y0

#16 Phillip Phillips - "Home" from "The World From The Side Of The Moon" - This is quite possibly the best song from any artist who got their start on American Idol, though there are a few songs from the pre-ranking era that could give it a run for it's money. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoRkntoHkIE

#15 Lana Del Rey - "Video Games" from "Born To Die" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE6wxDqdOV0

#14 Alex Clare - "Too Close" from "The Lateness Of The Hour" - Alex Clare didn't invent the EDM pop song, but he did perfect it. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYXjLbMZFmo

#13 Fun. (feat. Janelle Monae) - "We Are Young" from "Some Nights" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv6dMFF_yts

#12 Passion Pit - "Take A Walk" from "Gossamer" - Five years ago, if I had to wager on what the least likely breakthrough indie pop band would be, Passion Pit would be one of my most likely bets. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZX6Q-Bj_xg

#11 The Lumineers - "Ho Hey" from "The Lumineers" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvCBSSwgtg4
