1. “Best Song Ever” (2013)

Best YouTube Comment: “Can we have a moment of silence for all the directioners that died during the major hotness of this video…”

We knew they were aces at music video dress-up, but it’s a nice surprise to see 1D flexing surprisingly strong acting chops, transforming into everyone from a sexy female secretary to a swishy choreographer to Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. In the clip, the lads take over a Hollywood production office, reject a prepackaged boy band concept and lead the office staff in an exuberantly cheesy synchronized dance that ends with Mary Katherine Gallagher’s famous “Superstar!” pose. Resistance is futile to this song and video, which are so amazing that their release caused Kate Middleton to go into labor. There are no words for this charmer other than “oh oh oh” and “yeah yeah yeah,” but with pop this perfect, do you need any others?
