Once again, the lone R&B artist appears with a dance-pop single that wasn't aired on rap/R&B stations; this time, it's Ne-Yo with the Stargate-produced "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)." Dance-pop indeed remains dominant, though the likes of Phillip Phillips ("Home"), Imagine Dragons ("It's Time"), and Florida Georgia Line ("Cruise") break it up a bit. When the compilation was released, all 16 of the principal songs were still on the Hot 100. Most of them were on the way down, but the series remains timely and an accurate reflection of the chart.
