This one is a bit hard to believe, considering that it's become a classic and everyone around the globe knows it. However, during an interview back in 1993 with the Rolling Stone, Kurt admitted that ‘It's almost an embarrassment to it. The reason it gets a big reaction is people have seen it on MTV a million times. It's been pounded into their brains'
#3 Lorde – Royals
‘Royals' was Lorde's debut hit which skyrocketed and became everyone's favourite song in 2013.
