Only two seasons in and the hilarious trials and tribulations of financially-strapped Brooklyn waitresses Max (Kat Dennings) and Caroline (Beth Behrs) aspiring to start a cupcake business on 2 Broke Girls has raced to the top of the TV charts. With Max’s comically promiscuity and Caroline’s romantic dreams of finding love, the show highlights strong, single female characters not afraid to live life on their own terms (including the perpetually randy Polish neighbor Sophie Kaczynski, played by Jennifer Coolidge). This playlist reflects the sound of grown-up girl power that celebrates all that is fun, fierce, flirty and free.
