Sia - Chandelier
This power ballad was everywhere this year and drove Sia into the spotlight. Her voice's raspiness really shines, and makes the song sound so perfect. It was close to being named the number one single of the year for me this year, but this last month everything was changed. Needless to say though, a top three finish is quite impressive as well.

Idina Menzel - Let it Go
Absolutely stunning of a song. The magical lyrics that were perfectly crafted to give so much emotion and reliability to the main character and in real life, the angelic production and vocal delivery. Truly a masterpiece.

Carrie Underwood - Something in the Water
Perfection at it's finest. Just take a simple listen and you'll see why it's number one.
