For the third time in this blog's five years, Avril Lavigne rules the year-end pop chart. She had the biggest "Smile" in 2011, and "Let Me Go," her duet with Chad Kroeger, topped the 2013 edition. In 2015, her charity single for the benefit of the Special Olympics World Summer Games saw her soar to the top spot for five weeks, and that was enough for her to beat other OPC favorites like Simple Plan's "Boom" and Rachel Platten's "Fight Song." Here's the pop punk princess pulling out a hat trick at #1 with "Fly":
