When I was broke, you bought me shoes
This is the most beautiful (released ) song Ke$ha has ever done. It's SO raw and emotional. People would literally be shocked to hear this after Tik Tok, Die Young, etc. It's what makes me love Ke$ha. I absolutely adore this track, it's one of her best ever, and I mean that.

We ship platinum, them bitches are shipping wood
The diss track pretty much outdid every diss track (coming from a female rapper ) ever. It got so much hate from its' video, which I still loved anyways. Nicki is so outrageous and unorganized and that's particularly why I love her. She knows what she's doing and does it right.

Forget you when I spin this; better dance for this & get your skin wet, bitch
This weird trap track wasn't what I was expecting for Azealia, but clearly I winded up loving it completely. Not only is there an out-of-place dog bark, but her angelic singing just puts the cherry on top for this track, as well. She's excellent at making the music her own. This is a highlight.

Hang up the phone, I've got a backbone stronger than yours
This teen sass ANTHEM has had me in love all year. As a child adoring this album, this wasn't one that stuck out for me; much of her material has stayed with me for this long just because I keep rediscovering her in new ways. Can I also take a moment to crown Avril queen of sing-talk?

My ***** tastes like Pepsi Cola, my eyes are wide like cherry pies
I couldn't possibly have picked a more iconic, impacting lyric. This cult status jam had everyone's eye at one point, and there's more than just attention-hogging lyrics to back that up. The song is 100% melodic and perfectly-structured. Lana keeps writing these perfect songs, damn.

Found out you're full of it, I'm over it, so suck my dick!
I'm listening to this jam right now. In what will probably be snubbed as a single, this song still GOES and is amazing. K$ always has those ex-callout tracks (i.e. Grow A Pear, Kiss N Tell) but this one is the most rock n' roll and c**k rock. She pulls it off, too ![smitten](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ebf69f50.gif)

![](http://i47.tinypic.com/2pziog0.png) | #58: Azealia Banks / Luxury
Took a boat, took a trip, took 3 friends; this bitch said it's open season
This song seriously knocks. I didn't know ZeeZee could toss out these massive bass-scrumptious bops, but I was clearly proven wrong. I'm quite surprised this track didn't actually see a release of some sort, it's clearly one of Fantasea's best.

![](http://i49.tinypic.com/10xaqfb.png) | #57: Lana Del Rey / Radio
I heard the streets were paved with gold; that's what my father said
This song, no matter how simplistic and repetitive, was my first favorite off Born to Die. It's so beautiful and perfect, I can't even put my finger on what does it. This track is one that Lana doesn't seem to try so hard to be genuine, it just works for her. Maybe that's just me.

It's all 'bout you, when the music makes you move; baby do it like you do
I remember when Max Martin and Zedd had first teamed up and talked about this track and it being a hit. I was so excited, and clearly that was warranted, because this song is amazing. It actually was a big contributor to me not disliking Justin anymore. I'm so glad this is a hit now ![smitten](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ebf69f50.gif)

![](http://i46.tinypic.com/2my6afk.png) | #55: Avril Lavigne / Too Much to Ask
Everytime I try to make you smile, you're always feeling sorry for yourself
I fell in love with this song this year. It tells a short story of Avril breaking up with this guy who chose to smoke weed over her, and it was so interesting to listen to this song so often as a child and not know a thing about it, and now I understand it and appreciate it so much more ![smitten2](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/28be1040.gif)

![](http://i49.tinypic.com/2zp30bq.png) | #54: Neon Hitch / Out of This World
Baby, take me with you; fly me over your moon
This Greg Kurstin-produced unreleased track caught my ear this year. A track that no one really knows or acknowledges from Neon has been incredible and a huge part of my summer. I love how strange this song is for a supposed synthpop song, Neon always puts awesome twists on music.

![](http://i47.tinypic.com/33wtfk9.png) | #53: Rye Rye / Hotter
So fresh and new, I can never age; I'm like a Virgin Mary, I ain't never laid
This song is one, if not THE most insanely catchy R&B booty-popping BOPS I have ever heard. This Bangladesh-produced track straight up makes me want to just lose it with a crowd of twerkers, it's not even funny how much this knocks ![eek](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/eek.gif)

![](http://i50.tinypic.com/2eeat6u.png) | #52: Slowdive / Red 5
I know this is completely non ATRL-friendly, but I loved this track this year. It's an unreleased song from a random band that fell off the face of the Earth in like 1995 (year I was born). It's so captivating and a really beautiful instrumental dreampop track.

![](http://i47.tinypic.com/2cpz5zb.png) | #51: Rihanna / We All Want Love
I'm able to close my eyes, but my heart's not so blind
Whoever wrote this beautiful cross-genre jam is seriously being underplayed. This song is not only 100% relate-able (at least for me), but experimentally genius. It's easily one of my favorite Rih tracks of all time, she served pure bliss with this track.
