8. Teddyson Johnson – Allez

Another small island entry, Teddyson John’s “Allez” rose out of Lucian Carnival in the summer to become one of the major anthems in Miami this October. A Caribbean answer to Jay-Z’s “Dirt Off Your Shoulder,” “Allez” has universal lyrics, and its own signature dance — it definitely isn’t your typical soca track. With an appeal that clearly goes beyond Carnival concerns, it is sure to keep waists wining right into next summer and beyond. —Jesse Serwer
