The Way I like that song! but I think the singles she released this year are better
Royals! One of my favorite songs from 2013 (it was my #3 song!). Lorde I really want another album from her.
Stay tuned, Paramore has a song coming up soon Thanks for commenting

Oh wait. I like The Way. You're ok again.
Don't scare me like that S&S is a poorly-written bop Ariana will have much more impact on 2014's countdown Thank you for commenting

I agree, I like Ariana's My Everything era a lot more I'm really looking forward to Lorde's future work I didn't like YFB at first, but the video slayed me Thank you for commenting!

#45 Tegan and Sara - Closer
"All I want to get is a little bit closer / All I want to know is, can you come a little closer? / I want you close, I want you / I won't treat you like you're typical..."
This song has a bit of innocence I can't say exists in a lot of songs. I wish this song was a hit as well, the guitars and synths are so infectiously bubblegum that I can't believe this didn't catch on with pop radio audiences. I'm looking forward to Tegan and Sara's future releases after this smash that got away.
#44 Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness (Cedric Gervais Remix)
"I got my red dress on tonight / Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight / Done my hair up real big beauty queen style / High heels off, I'm feeling alive... / Kiss me hard before you go / Summertime sadness / I just wanted you to know / That, baby, you're the best"
As promised, Lana features again on my Top 100 of 2013. I'm just a bit upset that Lana's mainstream relevance was prompted by a remix of one of her otherwise flawless songs, but I'm really glad that she finally got some mainstream recognition and a top ten hit. The future looks bright for Lana, and I am truly excited for her.
#43 Matt Hires - Restless Heart
"Everyone's looking for love / Looking for something to hold onto / Oh I've been looking for 25 years / And I know I won't find it in you / Hey, you've got a restless heart / Beating ou-ou-ou-out on your sleeve..."
Thanks to iTunes' Free Single of the Week for turning me on to this song. Restless Heart is all about wanting love- but not letting someone take advantage of you. This song carries with it a powerful message that you should love and be loved. I think that's why I'm so fond it.
#42 Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Wanz - Thrift Shop
"I'm gonna pop some tags / Only got twenty dollars in my pocket / I - I - I'm hunting, looking for a come-up / This is ****ing awesome... / "Yo - that's fifty dollars for a T-shirt.""
In what is perhaps another shockingly low placement of a 2013 smash hit song, Thrift Shop is actually quite a bop. Thrift Shop is annoying and overrated, yet somehow still enjoyable. It was an unepected hit, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis managed to defy the odds as independent artists and achieve success in 2013. I'm excited for their future material.
#41 Pepper - **** Around
"I don't want to **** around unless you want to **** around"
Check this song out if you've never heard it. I had to post a live performance of this song because it's the only clean version I can find; just do a quick search if you want to find the explicit studio version. This song captivated me the first time I heard it- the lyrics are captivatingly honest, and the guitar riffs are incredible.
Closer was my jam last year!
I love Summertime Sadness! and I love dance/electronic music... but for the first time I think I prefer the original one
Thrift Shop! That song is still amazing
Closer and Summertime Sadness are so good. Love those songs.
Closer is incredible Lana slayed so effortlessly with her Born to Die album Thanks for the comment

I love the original version of Summertime Sadness too but the remix kept the song relevant to me last year, so I think both versions are great Thanks for commenting,

Britney's British accent slayed me in S&S as well. She needs to use it more. I was amused when it confused some people as to why Britney was speaking in a British accent. XD

#40 Marina & the Diamonds - How to Be a Heartbreaker
"How to be a heartbreaker / Boys they like the look of danger / We'll get him falling for a stranger, a player / Singing I lo-lo-love you / At least I think I do!"
Marina should have smashed with this song; it's practically crafted for pop radio. The video is pure eye candy as well, so why this flopped is really beyond me. Since Charli made it into the mainstream, I still have hope for Marina. I hope Marina can still make it as a major pop girl in the industry.
#39 Katy Perry - Roar
"I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath / Scared to rock the boat and make a mess / So I sat quietly, agreed politely... / I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire / 'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar"
Katy added another hit to her discography with this song. Roar is an inspirational anthem which you can't help but sing along to. It's amazing how Katy keeps outdoing herself; I can't wait to see what's next for her.
More updates later. Thank you all for the comments!
