This is just so beautiful. I get chills everytime I listen to it!
Tenth out of twelve appearances by Lana Del Rey.
#28
Lana Del Rey - Brooklyn Baby
from "Ultraviolence" Listen here
My favourite single off Ultraviolence, after the lead, is even the most upbeat one. Those guitar just give you the sensation of chilling in the summer. Can this girl do some wrong?
Eleventh out of twelve appearances by Lana Del Rey.

Disclosure - Latch (feat. Sam Smith)
from "Settle" Listen here
I'm kinda sure I had this on one of my old Best Ofs already because I used this song since its release in 2012 but when it blew up to be a hit in the US and got more attention on the site I started listening to this jam more again.
Only appearance by Disclosure.
Third and final appearance by Sam Smith.
#26
Nicki Minaj - Anaconda
from "The Pinkprint" Listen here
We can appreciate her serious hip-pop or her dance-pop jams but there's no better Nicki than the campy/crazy one that we all got and fell in love with. Anaconda is the mastering of all of this!
#25
Katy Perry - Unconditionally
from "Prism" Listen here
You can't help but scream at the top of your lungs when "Uncle De Sean A.. Uncle De Sean A-li!" comes
First out of four appearances by Katy Perry.
#24
Clean Bandit _ Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne)
from "New Eyes" Listen here
This was my Top song of the year until a few months ago but it grew pretty annoying on me now The violins are still genius and Jess' performance is still amazing tho!
Only appearance by Clean Bandit.
Only appearance by Jess Glynne.
#23
Beyoncé - ***Flawless (feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie)
from "BEYONCÉ" Listen here
I've been seeing the most of you preferring the Nicki remix over this? HOW? How "bitches be thirsty, Hungarian" be better than this amazingly inspiring speech by Chimamanda? I'm puzzled.
Seventh out of fourteen appearances by Beyoncé.
Only appearance by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
#22
Taylor Swift - Shake It Off
from "1989" Listen here
I used to hate this "pop debut" upon its release but then I let go of my snobbish self and the fun of the song got me. Taylor is the artist with the most entries in the Top 100, thanks to her strong new album, but none of her songs could make it to the Top 20. Better luck next year? I'm still using 1989 after all!
Sixteenth and final appearance by Taylor Swift.
#21
Iggy Azalea - Black Widow (feat. Rita Ora)
from "The New Classic" Listen here
Dark Horse (Pop/Rap version). I actually got hooked on this but more for Rita's merits than Iggy's kinda whack verses.
All of the songs from the last two sets except Latch
I don't like Brooklyn Baby that much but Shades Of Cool is perfect
I Will Never Let You Down
Uncle, ***Flawless and Shake It Off
my favorite song of 2014, just amazing!
The violins are still genius and Jess' performance is still amazing tho!
