Justin Timberlake, "Not a Bad Thing." Normally we'd be furious that Justin Timberlake put out a music video that he's NOT EVEN IN, but we'll forgive it with this one.

Cash Cash ft. John Rzeznik, "Lighting." This song is so Goo Goo Dolls, it's unreal. Know why? Because the band's frontman John Rzezenik sings lead vocals on this track! But it's better than a typical Goo Goo Dolls song because it features Cash Cash's techno vibes in the chorus, making this track perfect in every way. PS, you can buy Cash Cash's new EP on iTunes now!
