Third place in the top 50 went to “Shallow”music performed by the actors Bradley Cooper It is Lady Gaga for the remake of A Star Is Born (2018). The magazine’s editorial board comments that the track was a huge hit even before the film was released.

“The music, including the booming note that Ally Lady Gaga hits in the song’s bridge, it became instantly iconic as soon as it appeared in the film’s trailer. Like the rest of the soundtrack, this track made this risky remake of Gaga and director/co-star Bradley Cooper really shine as brightly as its three classic predecessors and gave it a unique (and necessary) modern feel. As well as her excellent performance in the film, Gaga’s talent for excellent pop and rock songwriting elevates the character beyond just an unknown star with a beautiful voice. ‘Shallow’ shows the advantage of the Ally character and, rightly so, earned the Gaga an Oscar of Best Original Song and another Top 10 hit.”

In second position, “Scotty Doesn’t Know”featured on the film’s soundtrack Eurotrip(2004). Defined as “as gross as it is hilarious”, the track brings a pop punk-oriented approach from groups like Blink 182, on the rise at the time. The magazine’s journalists point out that the derisive number captivated enough to enter the American singles charts in real life.

First place went to “That Thing You Do!”main song of the film The Wonders – The Dream Isn’t Over (1996). Journalists point out that the song features an “irresistible power-pop melody”.

“The first film of Tom Hanks as a director, about an early ’60s group who had a huge hit before disbanding, it wouldn’t work if the title track wasn’t totally convincing. but the deceased Adam Schlesinger proved just how genuine he was as the undisputed master of fake pop music, with tight harmonies and catchy riffs he crafted. The song plays in whole or in part 11 times in the movie and never gets old.”
