Canzoni che spaccano
Explanation:
Se il linguaggio è colloquiale, lo tradurrei così, per rendere la loro efficacia e attrattiva sul pubblico in un gergo giovanile.

canzoni da sballo


Explanation:
I think this is a good option - it's what my kids (in their young 20's) would say :)
"da sballo" is an idiomatic way of saying "totally cool"

grandi canzoni/melodie


Explanation:
Il testo mi sembra colloquiale, quindi questo è un suggerimento per una traduzione altrettanto colloquiale. =]

brani/melodie accattivanti/di grande impatto...


Explanation:
Una prima proposta:

anche se "killer tune" viene usato tale e quale nel mondo musicale, qui (e in genere, secondo me, che preferisco tradurre!) è meglio esplicitare.

Qui "killer" è usato in senso "positivo": vedi http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/killer_2

2 informal very attractive, good, impressive etc:
"a book called 'How to Build a Killer Website'"

= "very cool" secondo Urban Dictionary,
quindi puoi sbizzarrirti con l'aggettivo da abbinare (al momento non mi viene in mente qualcosa di più "giovane"!) ;)

Ciao

Hai visitato il myspace di Katie --> http://www.myspace.com/thatvogel ?
Puoi ascoltere le sue canzoni, così puoi farti un'idea del genere: sono canzoncine leggere e piacevoli, con una melodia che ti rimane in mente... anche se non passeranno alla storia!!
