The chicks in the "Closer" and "Despacito" videos are smoking, but the songs are crap and average. "Despacito" seems like the perfect song for a Fast movie. "Closer" is honestly no different than the pop songs they were making 15 years ago.

"Shape of You" wins this by a mile.

Closer is horrible.

Despacito is a little too generic party song.

Shape of You is by far the best.

Closer is not a song. It's an ear grating noise.

I literally had to go watch Despacito on YT because I didn't hear it once up until now. Meh.

Shape of You, while not great and slightly annoying for being overplayed is at least something you can call a song. So SoY it is.

Same for me, and for "Closer". I was surprised to see that "Despacito" has over 2 billion views.

Despacito is being played non stop on the radio. I can actually see why Closer was so popular. It certainly has quite a unique, if bad sound to it. Despacito is just, a song that sounds like it will be played at barbecues this summer and quickly forgotten. The Macarena it is not.

I'm always surprised when people say they still listen to the radio in 2017.

It seems pretty common to me that people listen to radio in the car.

I couldn't think of anything worse than driving with the radio on.

My favorite part about driving is listening to the radio/ music.

Most people listen to the radio in the car still though i guess you can connect up an ipod/iphone or listen to an mp3 mix cd like is still tend to do.

I dont like much of today's music to be honest but like all three of the songs mentioned.

Rockstar is worse than any of these songs. I forget what it sounds like when it's not on. I am pretty bewildered it's this mega of a billboard #1

I even prefer Bodak Yellow. At least that song is so bad its funny. this song is just dull. Hopefully Havana can hit number 1 soon.
