  1. If I were creating a chart of my own this is the order I would put it in.
    1.) Diamonds-Rihanna
    2.) One More Night-Maroon 5
    3.) We are never getting back together- Taylor Swift
    4.) good Time-Owl City and Carly Rae Jepson
    5.) Skyfall-Adele

    In my opinion I put these songs in this order based on there rhythm,beat,melody, and the artist, that I listen to the most.

  2. If I was suppose to rank these 5 songs, this is the order I would put it in.
    1) One More Night by Maroon 5
    2) Skyfall by Adele
    3) We Are Never Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift
    4) Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen
    5) Diamonds by Rihanna

    I ranked these songs in this order because the rhythm of the songs I ranked first and second are less likely to be dance/party songs. The rhythm of the songs I ranked first and second are less upbeat an more calm and slow.

  3. If I was creating chart of my own, I would rank the songs in this order:
    1)Diamonds -Rihanna
    2)Skyfall - Adele
    3)One More Night-Maroon 5
    4)We are never getting back together- Taylor Swift
    5)Good Time-Owl City and Carly Rae Jepson
    I would put these songs in this particular order because the first song (Diamonds) is a really catchy song. There is a beat that stays constant throughout the whole song. Skyfall is made by Adele and is a slow song. I like slower songs. The other three songs I don't really like, so I put them in a random order. My reason for not liking them is because they're annoying.

    1)We are never ever getting back together-Taylor Swift
    2)One More Night-Maroon 5
    3)Good Time-Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen
    4)Diamonds-Rihanna
    5)Skyfall-Adle
    I would do this order because the first song is really good.Its tune and the beat are very fascinating.The second song, I put number 2 in it because it's kinda pop and it's sounds and beats are also fascinating.The three left songs are not that good for me so I rank them in that number.

    I would put this in order because it is ver catchy and the beat of the song is really good.My second song is also good but not as good as the first one because the tune is ok and also the beat. The last 3 songs were the same to me it was not catchy to me it was just ok

  6. I would create a chart of my own in the order of
    Skyfall- Adele
    We Are Never Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift
    One More Night - Maroon 5
    Good Time - Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen
    Diamonds-Rihanna

    Adele would be first because the way of how skyfall sounds and how it is for the movie James Bond. Taylor Swift would be second because because the way her song feels where ever i hear it people start to jump and just sing a long. One more night is third because i never really liked the song because i didn't really like the way he was singing the song. When i first heard the song i heard him just bouncing the notes for example: hE wAs.
    I chose good time by owl city ft carly rae jepsen because the chorus was bad i just kind of found the chorus annoying to. I made diamond by rihanna to be last because i did not really like the lyrics.

  7. Skyfall - Adele
    We Are Never Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift
    Diamonds - Rhianna
    One More Night - Maroon 5
    Good Time - Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen

    If I were to create a music chart of my own, I would rank the songs in this particular order. First of all, I always love listening to Adele's soothing voice and meaningful lyrics so I would rank her first. I enjoy listening to Taylor Swift's We Are Never Ever Getting back together because of its upbeat rhythm and catchy beat. Diamonds by Rhianna ranks third for me because I always here it on the radio, and it has a foot-tapping and head bopping beat. One More Night by Maroon would be fourth, not because it's one of the songs I like least, in fact, it's quite an enjoying song in a way, only because of it's dance worthy tempo. Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen ranks fifth because it's kind of a meaningless song.

    One More Night - Maroon 5
    Diamonds - Rihanna
    Skyfall - Adele

    If I were to create a music chart of my own, I would rank the songs in this order. I rank the songs in this order because first, i love taylor swifts "We Are Never Getting Back Together" for the great rhythm and tempo. This song always makes me wanna dance and Im sure it will for other people too. I put "Good Time" second because of the same concept, the song also has a great rhythm and tempo.. its very upbeat which makes you want to just dance. Then I put "One More Night" third because it is more of a soothing but still fast tempo-ed song. Lastly I put "Diamonds" and "Skyfall" next not because I think they are bad songs, I still like the songs because they have great meaning and are soothing, but just because I like the other three songs a bit better due to their upbeat rhythms and tempo.

  9. Skyfall- Adele
    We are Never Getting Back Together- Taylor Swift
    Good Time - Owl City and Carly Rae Jepson
    One More Night - Maroon 5
    Diamonds - Rihanna

    Adele would be the first one because I like the tempo of the song especially the chorus part. I picked Taylor Swift the second because I like singing the song but I don't relate to her lyrics. I picked Good Time the third because I listened to it for a few weeks then I got bored. One More Night is my forth because it's a new song and I don't listen to it very often like the others. Finally, I picked Diamonds because I don't like the lyrics.

  10. I would create a chart of my own in the order of
    Skyfall- Adele
    We Are Never Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift
    One More Night - Maroon 5
    Good Time - Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen
    Diamonds-Rihanna

    Adele would be first because the tempo of the song is very different from the others. I put We Are Never Getting Back Together second because it has an amazing rhythm and tempo. I ranked the three other songs third, fourth and fifth because I'm not really feeling the rhythm and the tempo.

    We Are Never Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift
    One More Night - Maroon 5
    Diamonds-Rihanna

    Adele would be first is because she has meaningful lyrics and nice voice so I would put her first. I put we are never getting back together 2nd is because its a catchy song and it has nice beat. The other three songs I don't really like to listen to so I just randomly put them in order.
