1. Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez and Claudia Leitte, "We Are One (Ole Ola)"

10. Edu Krieger, "Desculpe, Neymar"
A counterpoint to the tracks above, this socially conscious song is something of an anti-World Cup anthem. "Desculpe, Neymar" denounces the hefty sums spent on hosting the event and states the case of those protesting the World Cup in Brazil.
