Pop music has taught us valuable lessons about everything from sexuality and self confidence to heartache and despair. Perhaps the most beneficial thing pop music taught us is how to spell. Here are our top picks of songs that increased our vocabulary both on and off the dance floor. You can jam out to these tunes by making use of our corresponding playlist!
