Year-End List 2015: 25 Songs From Reality Singing Shows

This is something new for the year-end list this year. You see, DAM NATION thrived because of reality singing shows - in general - and I figured that it's terribly fine to recognize a few songs from different alumni of different shows that go unnoticed for 2015. Well, not everyone since some of the songs in this list were big commercial successes, but you know what I mean.

For a big fan of these shows, it's just interesting to see them survive the tough world of music and push themselves out of obscurity. Of course, there's Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, and One Direction in the mix, but you'd be surprised who else are in the list. 

Enjoy!
