80 ˇ DAMI IM, "Gladiator"
Weeks on Chart: 5 Weeks
Peak Position: #09
Debut Date: September 13, 2014
Australia-based South Korean X Factor winner Dami Im cracks up the list with the cheesy track "Gladiator". I wasn't hooked much into "Super Love" but this one changed the game. "Gladiator" is a great pop track with simple vocals yet powerful message. Definitely keeping an eye on Dami's next releases.
♫ "I'll break my back for just one touch, all my blood for your love. Not in it for the honor." ♫

79 ˇ ED SHEERAN, "Don't"
Weeks on Chart: 6 Weeks
Peak Position: #06
Debut Date: August 9, 2014
After the disappointing lead single "Sing", Ed Sheeran releases a better follow-up through "Don't". I easily fell in love with the track because of its catchy verses and hooks - a reminiscent of "Drunk". Sadly, it didn't leave much impact compared to his previous efforts.
♫ "'I already told you trust and respect is what we do this for. I never intended to be next. But you didn't need to take him to bed." ♫

78 ˇ ELLA HENDERSON, "Hard Work"
Weeks on Chart: 8 Weeks
Peak Position: #01 (1 Week)
Debut Date: October 4, 2014
One of my favorite British acts recently Ella Henderson graces the list for the first time with the promotional single "Hard Work". After the powerful "Ghost" and "Glow", Ella released something softer and soulful. I actually enjoyed it. Simple yet heartfelt. This girl has talent!
♫ "Sometimes, I just wanna give you up right away. But then you go and brighten up my day." ♫
2013: EMELI SANDÉ, "Clown" |

77 ˇ ELLA HENDERSON, "Glow"
Weeks on Chart: 7 Weeks
Peak Position: #05
Debut Date: August 16, 2014
Another back-to-back entries! I easily got hooked into "Ghost" but this track took some time before I appreciated its charm. "Ghost" was a powerful debut single and I was expecting another powerful follow-up. "Glow" might be a good single choice, but it just fell short a bit of being that spectacular.
♫ "We are fire. We shoot our flame up high. They see us burn across a thousand miles. We are brighter. The flame will never die." ♫
2013: ED SHEERAN, "Give Me Love" |

76 ˇ THE VAMPS f/ SHAWN MENDES, "Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)"
Weeks on Chart: 11 Weeks
Peak Position: #05
Debut Date: September 20, 2014
The Vamps makes their first appearance in the Top 100 via "Oh Cecilia". To be honest, the track was insanely catchy but it was not included on my initial short list of Top 100 singles. It was just late this year that it got stuck in my head badly while on travel across several islands in my country.
♫ "Although we're many miles apart but I still feel her. There'll never be another one like my Cecilia." ♫
2013: JESSIE J f/ BIG SEAN & DIZZEE RASCAL, "Wild" |
