Justin Bieber’s “Confident,” featuring Chance the Rapper, capped off his “Music Mondays” campaign with a slick R&B experiment. Released in 2013 as part of his *Journals*, the track blends swagger with Chance’s laid-back delivery, achieving Platinum certifications despite modest U.S. chart performance. Its music video, directed by Colin Tilley, channels Michael Jackson-inspired energy, while a notable live feature during Chance’s 2014 Coachella set kept its buzz alive.
Neon Trees’ “Animal,” from their 2010 album *Habits*, balances polished ambition and controlled energy, peaking at number 13 in the U.S. The track stretched its appeal across international charts while securing a number-one spot on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart after a lengthy climb. Bebe Rexha’s emotive pop anthem “I Got You” paired glossy production with relatable themes, resonating globally with strong digital traction. Meanwhile, Modestep’s 2011 debut “Feel Good” fused dubstep intensity with melodic rock to carve out its niche in early 2010s rave culture.
