10. Marina and the Diamonds - Primadonna (2012)
Impossible to deny Marina Diamandis at her most playful and OTT. The Electra Heart alter-ego didn't last long but it was fun while it lasted. And, again, fuck Dr. Luke.

There are definitely cooler Katy Perry singles (and it's a pity Dr. Luke has a hand in it) but this mid-tempo stomper with its lyrical references to Radiohead and Johnny Cash is my favourite of hers.
