APOLOGIZE
Fun fact:
OneRepublic was formed in Colorado by songwriter and record producer Ryan Tedder and his high school friend Zach Filkins. The pair relocated to Los Angeles, where they recruited guitarist/keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist Brent Kutzle and drummer Eddie Fisher. OneRepublic garnered much support from the online community, especially on MySpace. Their guitar anthem "Apologize" got a lot of attention, but it was still a surprise when Hip-Hop, Dance and R&B producer Timbaland produced a remix and included it on his Timbaland Presents: Shock Value album. It was this version that bought the song to an international audience.

thrift shop
Fun fact:
Backed by Ryan Lewis' beat, Macklemore parodies the materialistic content of contemporary Rap music, with rhymes about shopping for clothes at thrift shops. The Seattle native doesn't care if he's wearing your grandmother's coat or your grandfather's sweater, as he's a "prolific thrift shopper" and he looks "incredible." Released as the fifth single from The Heist, the comic ode to discount shopping became the duo's first Hot 100 hit.
