Earlier this week, Billboard Magazine compiled a list of the 100 Greatest Choruses of the 21st Century. All the usual suspects were there – Call Me Maybe, Mr. Brightside, Ms. Jackson, Ignition (Remix).
Coming in at no. 74 was none other than Gotta Tell You. Here’s what the magazine had to say about the song:
