Come one, come all and welcome to Josh's Best of 2013!
Sorry for the crappy banner. Been very busy
Sorry if I haven't updated this for a while. I'm back at school and don't have a stable connection. Thanks for the comments while I'm gone. I'll comment on yours when I go to the computer shop later..
| 15. Fall Out Boy - Just One Yesterday (feat. Foxes)
[HALL OF FAMER!]
Save Rock And Roll | (WEEKLY: 7 Weeks/Peak:3@01) | (DAILY: 35 Days/Peak:16@01) | (5 of 5 for FOB, 2 of 3 for Foxes)
This song would have made the top 10 had it been released earlier. This is easily my favorite off SRNR and their entire career, it’s hauntingly beautiful and reminds me a lot of Adele’s Rolling In The Deep. Foxes’ addition to the track makes it even more awesome and she truly blends well with Patrick’s voice as well as to the vibe of the song. And the lyrics are also amazing. I waited for so long for its video to be released and they didn’t fail me. The Phoenix still >>>> I wish they had released this as an official single tho. |
| 14. The Cab - Endlessly
[HALL OF FAMER!]
Symphony Soldier | (WEEKLY: 9 Weeks/Peak:2@02) | (DAILY: 41 Days/Peak:2@01) | (2 of 2)
It’s such a shame that I have to leave this only at #14 because this song deserves more, because this song is totally awesome. The story of my hopeless romantic life written by Bruno Mars performed by The Cab, that’s the dream. I can’t even say anything bad about the song. It’s just simply awesome. Period. Anyway, they should release a new album ASAP because they really need to move on from Symphony Soldier. |
| 13. One Direction - Kiss You
[HALL OF FAMER!]
Take Me Home | (WEEKLY: 13 Weeks/Peak:3@01) | (DAILY: 54 Days/Peak:14@01) | (4 of 5)
This song is just soooo feel-good. Calling it catchy as hell is an understatement. It easily gets you hooked where there’s no escape. It’s the catchiest song by them ever. It got too old for me now but I loved the song so much earlier this year making it worthy of the spot. Still, there is one remaining 1D song anyway... |
| 12. One Direction - Best Song Ever
[HALL OF FAMER!]
Midnight Memories | (WEEKLY: 14 Weeks/Peak:4@01) | (DAILY: 65 Days/Peak:19@01) | (5 of 5)
...and here it is. We went into the top 20 and we still had 3 1D songs, and they’ve all come and gone in two updates. Ouch. Anyway, as can be seen in its chart records, it had pretty big success in my countdown and for the life of me, I can’t even think of any good reason why it went that far. (It’s #4 based on my countdown alone). It’s basic. Gods Josh. Still, it is one of the band’s best and one of the few that standout in their latest album (w/c kinda disappointed me). And with that, One Direction is gone. |
| 11. One Republic - If I Lose Myself
[HALL OF FAMER!]
Native | (WEEKLY: 10 Weeks/Peak:01) | (DAILY: 50 Days/Peak:5@01) | (3 of 3)
Aside from Eminem and FOB, this year also marked my unexpected stanhood for One Republic. Their former releases have been pretty good but did not standout for me for some reason. But damn, this era was pure fire! I’ve loved every single song of theirs and this one is probably my most favorite. It shocked me from the very first time how magnificent the song is, it instantly turned me into a fan. The vibe it exudes as well as the feeling it gives you when you belt it out is outstanding. Too bad it flopped. Still, you were awesome this era 1R. Here’s to more success in the future! |

THE WORST SONGS OF 2013
Purely opinionated and no offense meant. I’m tired and I don’t even care so I’m gonna keep this simple.
20. Drake - Started From The Bottom
You had HOWGH up your sleeves and you chose this as your first single. Oh, Drake.
19. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Can’t Hold Us (feat. Ray Dalton)
The song, like the artist, is losing my hate but I had to put it somewhere. Ray makes it annoying.
18. Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness (Original and/or Cedric Gervais Remix)
I thought the remix would save the original. Sadly, it didn’t.
17. Lana Del Rey - Young And Beautiful
Boring.
16. Selena Gomez - Birthday
Chorus hurts my hears everytime. This is probably why I don’t stan for Selena anymore.
15. Jennifer Lopez - Live It Up (feat. Pitbull)
On The Floor was good. Dance Again was ok. But this third saga to their unending collabos was just unbearable.
14. Rihanna - Pour It Up
The chorus is the takeaway. Hurts my ears everytime too.
13. Mike Will Made It - 23 (feat. Miley, Juicy, Wiz)
I don’t remember how it goes anymore because I couldn’t stand listening to it for the 2nd time but it was number 1 in my draft list so probably you destroyed my favorite number.
12. The Wanted - Walks Like Rihanna
The song doesn’t even make sense. Does Rihanna even have some kind of special walk?
11. AWOLNATION - Sail
Boring again. Its longevity in Billboard is horrendously unimaginable.
10. Snoop Lion - Ashtrays And Heartbreaks (feat. Miley Cyrus)
The song that started my Miley hate. Hearing the song reminded me of how the Miley I once loved is not coming back. The icing on the horrible cake that is this song.
09. Ylvis - The Fox
The only reason why it’s still in my phone is because it’s my alarm and it always forces me to get up and turn it off. Plus it’s this low because always hearing it makes me actually bop to it. Still, that doesn’t stop me from seeing through the fact that it is horrible.
08. Miley Cyrus - We Can’t Stop
This would have been #1 if only it wasn’t overplayed and oversang by my friends which, like The Fox, actually made me bop to it. See The Fox’s reasoning for more details.
07. Sage The Gemini - Gas Pedal
WTF is this even legit?
06. Avicii - I Could Be The One (feat. Nicky Romero)
Annoying on so many levels, esp. the video
05. will.i.am - #thatPOWER (feat. Justin Bieber)
Again, annoying on so many levels unexplainable
04. Alison Gold - Chinese Food
Friday >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> horsecrap >>>>>>>>>>>> this
03. Ke$ha - Crazy Kids (feat. will.i.am)
Will destroyed this but the chorus is just as awful.
02. will.i.am - Scream And Shout (feat. Britney Spears)
Worst legit song of 2012-2013. Coming from the worst artist of 2013. And trust me, I’m not a hater.
01. BAAUER - HARLEM SHAKE
The melody itself is bad. The few lyrics didn’t help and made things even worse. The fact that it’s the fourth most successful song of 2013 and that people actually liked it (yes, there are) is the nail on the coffin where it's supposed to be.
Guesses for the top 10? Thoughts? Tune in in a few hours for the results for #10-#8, and for the best video!

4/5 for the best singles. Sad to see 1D missing the top ten.
I like majority of the songs in worst list. We Can't Stop is awesome.

4/5
We almost had Endlessly at the same spot
If I Lose Myself is epic, and way better than CS imo.
From the worst songs I don't like any of them that much except Sail. The Lana del Rey tracks have been wandering in my head lately though

If I Lose Myself !! OneRepublic deserved a spot in the top 10, though.
Worst Songs: "Can't Hold Us" is amazing the rest of the list is OK specially Miley Cyrus

FOB, 1R, 1D x2
I like about half of your worst songs, but I'm not really disappointed about anything being on that list besides Young & Beautiful.

Avicii - I Could Be The One (feat. Nicky Romero)
Just no, that song is amazing, and the music video is even better!
Best Song Ever is not bad, first song I like from them
