TOP 100 SINGLES

Swim Season
"Soldiers"

One of my favorite videos this year. The 80’s new wave influences are definitely there, but Swim Season have put their own flair to the single and have continued to ride out this groove and synth heavy wave that I've been loving about the bands in this genre. I'll be checking for them.

Christine and the Queens
"Tilted"

Continuing with the 80s/90s revival wave here comes one of my favorite songs by a French artist ever. I don't particularly enjoy the English version but I have to agree it was necessary for commercial purposes. My favorite part would be the music video, it's the proof that great music videos can be made without a high budget.

The Lumineers
"Ophelia"

I wasn't really expecting much from The Lumineers this year and hell they took me by surprise. I'm in love with the concept behind this album and everytime I listen to this song I fall in love with it again. I love the piano part it gives me life and peace. It gives you this calming, adventurous and hopeful feeling

Lukas Graham
"You're Not There"

One of my instant favorite songs from this band's debut album which is also one of my favorites of the year. Lukas has a very unique way of expressing and transmiting feelings with his voice alone and combined with these lyrics it just gives me chills. It's a shame this flopped, it should have been released right after 7 Years...

Nate Ruess
"Take It Back"

I'm still not over the fact that fun. has split up so soon. They were really making magic together. Nate's music is missing something, he has great lyrics and vocals but the production and instrumentals just don't make the cut. I hope they reconsider recording another album together. This song is my favorite from his latest album and I'm glad it got a video (even when it's so cheap).

Gwen Stefani
"Make Me Like You"

This was a very short lived return for Gwen. When I first listened to this song I was like yeah this is the Gwen I was waiting for, sadly it came out way too late and it got zero support outside The Voice. The music video was totally genious can't she believe she pulled that off 100% live. She's starting to give Madonna vibes though.

Foxes
"Better Love"

I didn't really expect to like this song as much as I did, it quickly became my second favorite Foxes song ever and that's saying a lot. If only they had made it a duet with Dan Smith it would have been awesome but I'm satisfied with what we got. So sad Foxes never got any success, pop radio would never touch this.

David Guetta feat. Sia & Fetty Wap
"Bang My Head"

This is a very random collaboration but it's europop at its finest. Sia will never fail to deliver in every field she just slays pop, EDM and R&B like no other, hell even her random soundtracks give me life. I first listened to this song early this year and I've been jamming to it since, it's so infectious I'm still not over it.

The Rubens
"Hoops"

Everytime I listen to this song I'm thrown back to the early 2000s alternative sound of bands like Lifehouse, Weezer and Nickelback somehow, especially the former. I love the tune, it's catchy as hell, but i have no idea what the lyrics mean. "Hoops and everything get back, never get back too soon" What?.

The Veronicas
"In My Blood"

God I love this video and the song itself is mesmerizing and addicting. It's like The Veronicas have finally found a sound that suits them so well and they're taking full advantage of it. It's a shame their label insists they should stay local cause this would have been a huge hit in Europe.

Thanks for your comments.

Topmaster 2

8/10
La de Lukas es su mejor, no es molesta, no tiene gritos desafinados como en Mama Flop

y el video es el mejor de los 3 que sacó.

Soldiers UFF pendeja puta, no veo los créditos, escribes pura mierda y no me agradeces haberte hecho escuchar esa masterpiece. Tilted me encanta, ambas la francesa y la versión internacional.
Ophelia es buenísima no pensé que iban a volver a pegar tampoco y ahí están con esta canción, el álbum tiene las suyas también pero ninguna superó a ésta.

Take It Back es una mierda. Make Me Like You es hermosa, el video me encantó a pesar de ser en vivo hecho como 5 minutos

. Better Love me encanta <3, Bang My Head es horrible, nunca me gustó y el video es x's.
Hoops es buenísima y ese video ayudó buena posición. In My Blood está genial, las Veros volvieron con todo

Sweet Lovin

I like those powerful vocals at the end of TSOS, they give the song a whole new life.

40-31
I kinda hate MMLY, it's so generic and bad for Gwen's standards but maybe I'm the only one who thinks that way.
That's kinda high for Bang My Head but I do like it better than any of Sia's solo work...
Ophelia should've been top 20

Legend E

This update!

The Veronicas, Guetta, Foxes, Gwen, Christine

Better Love

Ophelia is okay

Poor Gwen

It seemed like they invested a bit in MMLY but sadly it was still pretty half-assed and it couldn't do anything to save her career

In My Blood
