It did make my close calls, but it did not make the top 100, no.

Bound 2 indeed sounds like a throwback to his earlier albums, but it's so out of place on Jeezus. The whole thing is is so trollish. The samples, the atmosphere, the lyrics. I hated it passionately at first, but it grew on me after that ridiculous video which yet again highlighted its trollish nature

That is actually one hell of a way to look at the song, and I can't disagree with it at all.

Okay, in lieu of another set (that will, most likely, come sometime tomorrow), I am going to liberally steal an idea from my brother in "Re", Rem.
Basically, here's what's going down. Over the course of the top 100, I'm going to be leaving hints for songs that are coming up in the upcoming set. This is something I have done for years and is nothing new on the YECA. What WILL be new, however, is that you will actually earn something for your guessing efforts if you do well enough.
Whoever guesses the most songs correctly at the end of the top 100 will win a $10 iTunes gift card. No, this is not a joke. If you do not live in the US, then I will try to find something of similar value to give. Recommendations are always welcome. But this is not the only prize that's possible.
If you finish second or third, you will receive a $5 Amazon gift card or a gift of similar value if you do not live in the US. Again, recommendations are welcome for non-US posters. The date that you will receive your prizes is to be determined, but it will, obviously, be after the top 100 ends.
With that in mind, let's get started.

HINTS #1
A Red Crush of YECA past returns with a new current hit single.
An emerging electronic artist appears with their first of two singles on the top 100.
A big current single from a popular pop rock act impacts the top 100 after I literally just got into the song a couple of weeks ago.
The first of FOUR top 100 singles from one of my favorite albums of the year arrives, and it has much more of a chance of impacting in 2014 than it did this year.
The first of two singles from a beloved and critically acclaimed alternative act lies in this set, and it also looks to have a bigger impact in 2014.
Happy guessing!
