Popular Music in the United States?

I'm finding myself returning to the United States this Summer and was wondering what songs there are that are considered popular by the mainstream music media.

Could you list me some so I can listen to them?

Don't hold back. The longer the better. =D

Any genre as well.

Update:

Why popular songs?

Because all I listen to now is heavy metal that no one else in the United States has probably heard of before.

So I'd like to broaden my horizons a little bit. =)

    Well I agree with checking I-tunes it would be your best bet to see what is popular. Cause the list can go on and on. But here are the top 100 songs that are popular right now. They are in order with the songs name first then the band or person who sings the song and then the cd the song is on. I hope this helps!!!

    I think that Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Ke$ha, umm maybe Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Miley, Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Paramore, so many! I don't listen to a lot of the popular/now music, I listen to Evanescence (!!! :), Paramore, Demi and that's kind of it :D I live in the USA, I just know those artists I listed above are popular because their songs are always played on the radio. I hope I helped a bit!! Your question was interesting xD

    the music everyone listens to right now in the clubs, bars, and on tv is just horrible, i can't stand it, basically its all rap remixes of good classic songs. I mainly just listen to classic rock and the dave matthews band.

    music sucks here now. You have to go back to the 60's and 70's and find yourself some good classic rock. The early 90's had some good grunge but now it is just all sugar coated crap.

    Go to iTunes. There's always top downloads. Just look at the tops, go to YouTube and just listen. Simple. ;)
