Suggestions for mixtape?

Help for playlist? Every year I make a mixed tape/cd for my brother for Christmas. This year the theme seems to be "almost annoying pop songs that you would never buy yourself but you know you sing along to" and "cool songs that you didnt think to buy yourself." So far I have call me maybe, never ever getting back togther, womanizer by britney spears, telephone by lady gaga, and e.t. by katy perry, for the first half. I have long skirt/short jacket by cake, seven nation army by the white stripes, another way to die by jack white and alicia keys, and oh my by gin wigmore. Can anyone suggest a couple more tunes to round out my mix tape? Thanks!

"Baby" by Justin Bieber. (Ducks and hides from public stoning)
"Umbrella" by Rihanna.
"Super Bass" by Niki Minaj.
"Domino" by Jesse J.

Shuffles off in embarrassment.

Against my better judgment: that Maroon 5 "Payphone" song and that "Drive By" song by Train that's in some car commercial. Bopping now. Can't be helped.

Doesn't sound like you only want new songs, so here are a bunch that seem to fit your criteria (you choose which category they belong in... ;)):
DARE by Gorillaz, F You by Cee-lo, "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield, "Einstein" or "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson, "Bossy" or "Milkshake" by Kelis,
