From one crown jewel to another, “Dark Horse” marks Katy’s best rank on my year-end countdown since “Wide Awake” hit the #9 position in 2012. After ranking as my #99 song of 2013, “Dark Horse” rises to the #8 position due to this song’s intoxicating instrumental, shockingly entertaining music video, Juicy J’s feature, and Katy’s soaring vocals. “Dark Horse” will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the highlights of Katy’s career – and the saboteur of “Unconditionally.”

7. Florida Georgia Line - Dirt "It’s that elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on / That plowed-up ground that your dad damned his luck on / That post-game party field you circle up on / And when it rains you get stuck on / Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up / The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up / Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts / Makes you wanna build ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt"
I never expected to be slayed this hard by a song by Florida Georgia Line. After the release of songs like “Cruise” and “This Is How We Roll,” I hardly expected this country duo to come out with a lead single as meaningful and amazing as “Dirt.” The music video makes this song all the more powerful, and it was only outdone by one other country song in 2014. That’s right, there’s still one more country song to come! Any predictions for the rest of the top ten?!
45-41:Bartender, Sleeping With A Friend, Partition
40-36:Stay With Me, Sing, I Wish I Could Break Your Heart, Really Don't Care, Out of Mind! Perfect set!
35-31:Somebody To You, Break Free, Boom Clap
30-27:Black Widow and Blank Space and maybe a lil bit of Anaconda
26-21:Not on Drugs I don't really use J. Lo and Lea's music. I kinda hate Cheryl.
20-15:I love She Ain't You. I hope New Hollow releases more material. Hello Kitty is undeniably a guilty pleasure
14-11:I Will Never Let You Down is actually good, I shouldn't have hated on that song for a long time. 19 You + Me is so sweet. Shower is the guilty pleasure of all guilty pleasures. Why did you put Amnesia outside of the top 10? Well, I even placed them lower on mine so.
10-7:Rather Be is the best EDM track of 2014. Problem was a bop but quite unbearable now to listen to these days. Dark Horse slaying as it should. FGL, no. Just no.
Listen to the damn song before you all write it off as ****
If it was a Taylor song, you would all be stanning for it
You get your hands in it, plant your roots in it
Dusty head lights dance with your boots in it
You write her name on it, spin your tires on it
Build your corn field, whiskey bonfires on it
You bet your life on it
[Chorus:]
It’s that elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed-up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That post-game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
You mix some sweat with it, taking a shovel to it
You stuck some crosses and some painted goal posts through it (damn)
You know you came from it and someday you’ll return to this...
[Chorus:]
...elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed-up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That post-game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
You know you came from it and someday you’ll return to this...
[Chorus:]
...elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed-up ground that your dad damned his luck on
That post-game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
The mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
Makes you wanna build a ten percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
You know you came from it and someday you'll return to it
