This song could of been a radio hit had it been promoted. But of course, with the show cancelled here in the US, Alex & Sierra weren't going to be promote, because Simon had no reason. In all honesty, they aren't as intriguing on their original songs as they were on their covers. Alex and Sierra sound annoying on some parts of this song, but the chorus is really good. I'm not invested in them like ForeverNow90 is though. So I don't mind. Still, they are the best winner to come out of X Factor USA.
Final appearance of Alex & Sierra
99. Ariana Grande f. Iggy Azalea - Problem
In terms of quality, this song is miles better than Break Free and Bang Bang. It does however get annoying really quick. So I think it was wise of me to not buy this until December. I feel sorry for everyone that drives. They had to hear this song so much this year.
Fifth of six appearances by Ariana Grande. Third of six appearances by Iggy Azalea
98. Sia - Chandelier
ATRL really overrated this song this year. It's a good song, but it's not amazing like everyone says. Sure, Sia's vocals on this song are cool, but she's not the only singer to sing like that. It's cool that for someone with such a unique however is able to slay. Better than generic singers like Celine, Whitney and Mariah.
Second of three appearances by Sia
97. Foxes - Let Go For Tonight
The only radio friendly song Foxes did this era. I think if this was released in the US, it would have eliminated her one hit wonder status here. Well, her label's loss. I'm sure Foxes doesn't care that much though. I rarely listen to this song anymore, but this song really added some pizzazz to Foxes.
Only appearance by Foxes
96. Charli XCX - Break the Rules
This song just feels like Fancy Part II if you ask me and the video pretty sealed that comparison for me. It's still better than that bubblegum emo wannabe Boom Clap though.
Second of three appearances by Charli XCX
95. Lorde - Tennis Court
Considering I used to hate Lorde, I'm shocked that all four of her entries in this list are all in the Top 100. I guess her music served better quality than most people this year. This song was the weakest in my opinion.
First of four appearances by Lorde
94. Meghan Trainor - Lips Are Movin'
This song basically has the same structure as All About That Bass, just with more singing. When I first heard this song, that's literally what I thought. It's definitely catchy, but I just thought Epic was being lazy and afraid that releasing something different after AATB, melody wise I mean, would flop. I guess this song needed to happen in order to solidify a successful era and album release, but the AATB cloning is the reason I'm giving it the axe at #94.
Trivia: She's only 3 weeks older than me.
Second of three appearances by Meghan Trainor
93. Echosmith - Cool Kids
Considering I was a cool kid in high school without having to fit in, I honestly thought this song was just too cliché. However, I now think this song is kind of mocking the popular mentality of people wanting to fit in with the in-crowd and doing mindless things to do so. So, I do think this song is smart in the way I perceive, but then again, I'm also 20. I wasn't a high school student that long ago. A person like Mr. Link, who constantly refers to them as a toy band, probably didn't even talk to people in general except some of the trashy members on this forum like Spartak92, because they try to be like cool kids by inviting me to Facebook chats on Facebook . But you get what I mean, the older crowd might not get this song. I still somewhat like it though.
Only appearance by Echosmith
92. The Chainsmokers - #SELFIE
If I had to be honest, the beat is just way too infectious to not include this song on the list. The lyrics are a bit too messy though . I don't take this song too seriously though. I just enjoy the beat.
91. Lorde - Team
Two Lorde songs already punched out. I don't know, I think it's because I actually got into this song that's it is not as intriguing anymore. The other two Lorde songs are.
Wow this was a great set! The only one that I don't like is that Foxes' song and I don't know #100.
Tennis Court is amazing! Love Meghan, Chandelier, Cool Kids and #Selfie
Another SUPERB set! I only dislike #SELFIE and I don't really care that much for Tennis Court and Charli but other than that Team is really great but i wonder what other two Lorde songs are left. I hope Yellow Flicker Beat is one
Comment on mine, too! Link in the signature. Thanks
