Find the doppelgangers of your favorite “Top 40” songs.

If you like Justin Timberlake’s “Suit and Tie” …try “Wicked Way” by Benjamin Taylor.

Timberlake’s sound has evolved over the years bringing in more big band sounds from the smooth jazz era of the 1940’s. Taylor, son of James Taylor and Carly Simon, has a similar beat with more of a folk twist.

If you like Gwen Stefani’s “What You Waiting For?” …try “Nobody Like Me” by Madison.

From her days of being in No Doubt to her solo career, Stefani has brought theatrics to her performances that reflect her individuality. The unknown artist Madison has Stefani’s similar techno beats and unique personality.

If you like Imagine Dragon’s “It’s Time”…try “Next in Line” by Walk the Moon.

The indie band Imagine Dragon made it big with this song that was featured in various movie trailers and commercials. Their sound is upbeat and has a positive anthem. Walk the Moon shares the same beat that would be described as happy pop electro.

If you like Lady Antebellum’s “I Run to You” …try “Boyfriend” by RaeLynn.

The lead singer Hillary Scott has a soft voice that she brings to many of the popular country group. Up and coming RaeLynn got her start on NBC’s “The Voice” released her first single that is both relatable and enjoyable vocals.

If you like Eminem’s “Just Lose It”…try “And We Danced” by Macklemore.

We all enjoy Eminem’s fun song that is different than his usual heartbreaking and depressing lyrics. Macklemore, who recently became popular, is known for his fun lyrics but also has a serious side related to his childhood. “And We Danced” shares the silly chorus that “Just Lose It” is comprised of.
