Mark Ronson has crafted many hits over his career, but the horn-saturated "Uptown Funk" remains his biggest smash. For this old-school funk and hip-hop-indebted track, the hitmaker enlisted singer Bruno Mars to create a series of non-traditional pop hooks and a three-part breakdown that spans the sounds of Earth, Wind & Fire, Prince, and Chaka Khan. No doubt, "Uptown funk you up/Uptown funk you up uh" has been ingrained in your mind ever since. — I.K.
