Yeah, not the most original title ever, but it will do. I decide to do quarterly countdowns because I see some members doing that and since my personal countdown, The Zone, hasn’t been updated since October, I want to let you all know what I’ve been listening to. I don’t know when I will bring back my personal countdown. I know I’m going to do a Best of Q2 update before my fall classes begin. I might or might now do a Mid-year. You probably at least have some idea what songs I like based either on my votes on request countdowns or just commenting on your countdowns, but I want to put it altogether like this. First up is the Best of Q1 update.

For this quarter, I haven’t really listening to a lot of music or at least new music since I was busy with the Best of 2014 that was extended through February. Also that I was busy with college work and other stuff. In this countdown, besides new music, you will see album tracks and songs that were from 2014 either because of leftovers or I was late to like it. Without further ado, here’s my Q1 countdown.

Yup! The top 2 is Imagine Dragons. Predictable as f**k, but whatever. What did you think of this? I think that I like how I order it, but I don’t know. This is mostly based how I remember what songs I like and how much I like it and listen to. Anyway, I did it and I will bring Q2……………..wait for it…………….Soon!

Until then, comment and my birthday was three days ago and I turned 21. That means I can legally drink alcoholic beverages publicly and hit the 21+ clubs where I’m from. Regardless, I stayed home and watch random videos on You-Tube. That’s because well, the few friends I have live in another town and they have their own thing and I don’t have a car. I’m not very sociable and have much of a life. Plus, I was too lazy to leave the house. At least I ate Pizza, lasagna, chocolate cake and flan.

I like those!

Happy birthday lazy boy! xD

Uptown Funk in the top 3

Thinking out loud, I'm Not the Only One, Take Me to Church getting good spots in the top 20 too

Truffle Butter is my favorite Nicki single from her last album.

pray to god & shots are definitely my favorites from the top 10

Q1 of 2015 was one of the driest periods in music in this decade so far imo. Still, I really like your top 10 especially Elastic Heart and Shots. Nice to see a few late bloomers from 2014 like I Lived and Stolen Dance

Happy belated birthday btw.

Take Me to Church & I'm Not the Only One making the Top 20
Rihanna making the Top 10

Yes! It's here

I like your Legendary On Deck Hmm. I didn't know that Best Coast put out a new album this year. I will have to check that out. I like them.

Well, your Top is is pretty great Golden even. Why did I start at 8? Who knows? But my wig sure is snatched! Gold is a pretty underrated Imagine Dragons track so it is nice to see it with some love here. What happened to their era? It just kind of fizzled out. I was hoping it could at least spawn a hit with Friction or Gold

If I was rich, I'd come in here dropping 10 Bands everytime I saw Drake just out of sheer enjoyment: I mean, we got 10 Bands, 50 Bands, 100 Bands, Legend, 6 God, Truffle Butter, some of my main faves for sure! There's also some great rock here. Somebody likes to see Hozier (me), nice to see U2 get some representation, Little Toy is completely underrated, Tuesday, Schoolboy Q, Kendrick, there's so much to list it would take me more than a good 4-5minutes to address it all. Nice mid year Flame. Feels good to come in here and check out your chart

im not the biggest fan of ID but im glad your favs delivered for you!

i also see kendrick and kiesza killing it in the top 10, slay!

Amazing Top 3. I didn't know The Shins released music this year but I loved Simple Song from a while back so maybe I'll have to check it out.

Lips Are Movin, Someone New, Hotel Ceiling, Dear Future Husband, Riptide, Shut Up and Dance, Stolen Dance, Girl Crush, I Bet My Life, I'm Not the Only One, Thinking Out Loud, and Pray to God are some of my other favorites in your chart. Mess is Mine from the on deck is great too!

Yay!

My favorite is, probably, Sun Goes Down! By Calvin Harris, I think my favorite electronic music producer right now is Robin
Tove Lo! Hozier slaying this year your charts again
Riptide, Shut Up And Dance Elastic Heart top 10! love that song and music video. Uptown Funk #3

Aw I'd spend your 21st bday with you! If you're ever in Phoenix lets go listen to Imagine Dragons and talk fun music stuff and have a 2nd 21st bday for you

Obviously I love ID Uptown Funk is ****ing amazing I really like around 90% of this list

You're younger than me.

Talking Body Earned It

Good #1, I don't think this new Imagine Dragons album is nearly as good as Night Visions but Shots is probably the best song out of it.

Also great to see Uptown Funk, Take Me To Church, Thinking Out Loud and I'm Not The Only One all in the top 20

Great and diverse list


54 Superpower Beyoncé ft. Frank Ocean
You better stan

Shots on top! Uptown Funk really way up there despite the hate it has gotten here.

Ofc Sia will be there. Shocking. FourFiveSeconds also in the top 10!

Uptown Funk, The Blacker The Berry and What Kind of Man are my faves from this list <3

I can relate to that. I didn't do anything fussy for my 21st birthday either. Going to discos is just not my thing.

I hardly remembered So No What and for a moment I recall it was about to be 1st place on my c/d. Let me enjoy it again now.

I actually love the title Octahate, Deja Vu, Talking Body, Ghosts on deck 13/50 from the top 50, Shots and Marvin Gaye

I like Earned It more than The Hills
I Bet, AHOD and FMG in the Top 20
Calvin, Jess, Jason, Natalie, Florence and Leona
