Just do note I didn't say the only solo male to appear - there's features of some men in music, or their songs featuring others that will DEFINITELY be showing up soon, and Hozier's was only the top purely solo male song.
27. All About That BassMeghan Trainor
Title EP • Pop • June 30th, 2014
I'M BRINGIN' BOOTY BAAAACK.
Among various other reasons AATB was like a gospel hymn, this line is 2014. This song is the perfect mix of catchy songwriting, gimmicky lyrics, and personality. Meghan is totally unique amongst pop stars in her use of humor and fun, and she made a GREAT smash hit through it.♥
Fun Fact: 2nd Highest Ranking Billboard Hot 100 #1 Hit!
26. Blank SpaceTaylor Swift
1989 • Pop • November 10th, 2014
This is insanely catchy and SO so fun. It's like a playful dig at all the attempted **** shaming that she's seen in her career, while also being literally the perfect song for the game of love. Either that, or I'm as ****ing crazy as her, which is kind of okay because oh my god Taylor Swift. *fangirls* ♥

25. Into the BlueKylie Minogue
Kiss Me Once • Pop • January 27th, 2014
While some have their reservations about Kylie's most recent record, including her own fans in some cases (Cupid!!), I don't share them. The lead single, Into the Blue, is classic Kylie - it's pop perfection with the same enchanting, grand feel that made Aphrodite so amazing. ♥
Fun Fact: Oldest solo female on the list! Potentially oldest artist but I don't have the patience to check.
