“Rak Tong Perd”- 3.2.1 feat. Baitoey R-Siam

While you might not actually recognize the song title we think the words “Nan-Aok” might just jog your memory. Baitoey R-Siam’s most famous single has been a feature of playlists at most Bangkok clubs since May and, of course, there’s the small matter of those 78 milliion views on YouTube.

“Kor Jai Leak Ber Toh”- Ying Lee
The challenger to Baitoey’s dancefloor crown? It would have to be Ying Lee Srichumpon’s “Kor Jai Leak Ber Toh.” The new member of Grammy Entertainment hit big with 73 million YouTube views and continues to be a staple of any cover band's set in Thonglor.

“Tuet”- Kratae R-Siam
Baitoey wasn’t the only R-Siam lady to find success with an old-school electro-meets-look thung number. “Tuet” by muay Thai fighter-cum-singer Kratae was another big internet and dance floor favorite thanks to its incredibly catchy/annoying chorus that beseeched us all to come and dance.

“Kuk Khao”- Cocktails
Finally, a song to give us a break from Bodyslam’s “Ya Pit” and Getsunova on a night out. Cocktails’ latest rock number is now the one we get to hear at least three times a night when out in Muse or Funky Villa!

“Mai Bok Ter”- Bedroom Audio
If you find yourself somewhere that’s playing “Kuk Khao” this year, then you could pretty much guarantee that it would be followed by “Mai Bok Ter.” This pop-rock track really went massive after making it into the soundtrack for the even hotter teen TV series, Hormones. We actually kind of liked it, until we had it played to us 24/7.

“Eye” - Singhto Numchoke
The lion with the ukulele made his long anticipated comeback last year, but he continued to mine the album for hits into 2013 with the release of this, the third single. It had all his trademark tropes, lilting riffs, a sunny disposition and of course an insanely addictive singalong chorus.

“Lom Plien Tid”- Big Ass
What can be better than some good old fashioned pop-rock mixed with heart-wrenching lyrics that are easy to sing along to, even when you’re completely drunk? Big Ass’s “Lom Plien Tid” ticked all the boxes.  

“Rak Tae Yu Nue Kan Wayla” - Pop Pongkul
Another hit tune that was related to a hit TV series, this time the lakorn Suphab Buruj Jutathep. It took annoying to a whole other level by releasing five different versions for each of the five episodes, ensuring we got to hear this saccharine hunk of pop everywhere.    

“Event” - Season Five
Perhaps one of the most covered pop tunes of the year, you might not even know that the original version was done by Season Five. In our opinion, it was definitely a real step in the wrong direction for the band, as we quite liked their first album. 

Good Boy – Taton
A case of so close yet so far for Taton whose single shot up the radio charts this year. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your tastes, her time at the top didn’t last long as the electro-pop scene was taken over by the R-Siam look thung queens.
