***thanks to Sebas for making the amazing banner***
When 2013 had finished, I was a little bit dissatisfied with the songs back then, even with all the pop stars releasing in Q3-Q4 of the year. This year was more fresh to me, I have met new, innovative sounds, I became to know amazing new artists and to enlarge my musical taste. I am pretty proud of how good the singers did this year.
In this 2nd annual chart, I will present you some of my favourite moments over these past 12 months. It was an amazing year for me, musically, one I have definitely enjoyed and hopefully, I'll keep on listening to many of these songs/albums/artists from now on.
Here are the charts you will be presented:
The songs had to be released between December 5th 2013 and December 1st 2014. Same applies for albums and artists (artists who haven't released any album in this period, are not allowed to take part in the chart).

01. Katy Perry - "This Is How We Do"
Fergie - "L.A. Love (la la)"
I think I have put this song too low. Anyway, Fergie didn't really impress me with this "comeback", but I liked her AMAs performance and I have started to like the song. It is really a nice bop and good for trips
.
99.
The Veronicas - "You Ruin Me"
I have known about The Veronicas just by their old hit "Untouched" or by their newer "Lolita". I was surprised when I saw them on the 8th position of the UK charts and I knew I had to check it. I wasn't disappointed, it's an amazing ballad for sure.
98.
Tinashe - "Pretend" (feat. A$AP Rocky)
Tinashe is for sure one of the best artists that broke through this year. Her album, "Aquarius" has delivered some amazing tracks, like this one. I like the instrumentation of this song. It's so soft and calm, yet Tinashe's voice doesn't make it feel like boring and gives this song a lot of life. It's not better than her debut single, "2 On", but it's an amazing addition to her discography.
97.
Yelle - "Completement Fou"
In search of new songs, I have discovered this electropop masterpiece. When I firstly listened to this song, I didn't like it, I thought it was a bit annoying and it had no musicality, but it has grown on me and I couldn't keep it out of my head.
96.
Azealia Banks - "Chasing Time"
After 100 years of struggling to release an album, this year it was finally out. It has included a few good songs and "Chasing Time" is one of them. It has an interesting, dancefloor-style rhythm that would make you tap your feet anytime. Azealia's flow of course adds to this characteristic sound of hers and that's why I consider Azealia so original. She has made a sound of herself, which is amazing.
