I like Ed's death stare 
Flesh Without Blood is great, and I love Smoke Break! It's such a good song  She really doesn't release any bad lead singles. People here seem to hate it though, but it's great.
Work Song getting that recognition also. It's kind of an upset, I'm surprised it wasn't slightly higher.
I don't think I've said it yet, but I love your graphics pictures and layout, everything's very sleek, and also feels very cohesive and clean. Probably my favorite presentation. |
Ed is happy
Why tho! I don't see any reason to hate Smoke Break
It didn't perform that well on my countdown
You're too kind Bloomy Thank you so much

The thing is, I both agree AND disagree. "Flesh Without Blood" was one of the poppiest songs I listened to all year. And I listened to a surprising amount of pop. That's also a good thing when talking about FWB, because that song embraces pop better than any other song embraced pop this year. It also did a lot more than embrace pop, so it has that in its favor, as well. 
And oh my god, Sara Bareilles. I keep forgetting about you when I think about Red Crushes, but I really, REALLY shouldn't. |
Nah, I think your definition of pop is far more right-leaning than what most on ATRL thinks.

sugar - maroon 5
V
peak: 5 weeks: 15 (7 in top ten)
2014: Kiss and Not Tell - La Roux
Maroon 5's music has been reduced to **** ever since Payphone came, but this song is probably one of their better ones, even though it's still pretty generic, safe and poppy. I liked Birthday, so I like this one too. I just like the slinky smooth sound, so effortless yet so catchy. | | | |  | 4 9
jealous - nick jonas
Nick Jonas
peak: 7 weeks: 13 (2 in top ten)
2014: Summer - Calvin Harris
I guess one reason why I didn't prefer Chains over this is cuz that one was a bit too serious. This one is fun, playful yet sexy. Everything that everyone wants Nick Jonas to be, right? | | | |  | 4 8
beautiful now (feat. jon bellion) - zedd
True Colors
peak: 6 weeks: 12 (4 in top ten)
2014: Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne) - Clean Bandit
Sonically, this is no different from every single Zedd song. But god dammit, that "ba ba ba baba ba ba ba baba ba ba ba ba bababa bababa" is too hard to resist. Despite it's genericness, it's really effective in rousing a club. | | | |  | 4 7
r.i.p. 2 my youth - the neighbourhood
Wiped Out!
peak: 7 weeks: 11 (so far)
2014: Tonight You're Perfect - New Politics
Ugh this one slays me to heaven and back when the second half of the song kicks in. Like I just want to swirl my head around like I'm on drugs and thrash around the room like I'm drunk. | | | |  | 4 6
nonsense (feat. mark foster) - madeon
Adventure
peak: 9 weeks: 12 (4 in top ten)
2014:Goodness Gracious - Ellie Goulding
I love Foster the People so yay to this. I like the way Mark sings the line right before the chorus, love that rhythm and then it bursts into that euphoric chorus. | | | |  | 4 5
same old love - selena gomez
Revival
peak: 4 weeks: 12 (so far)
2014: True Love - Coldplay
Not quite as good as Good For You, but one listen and it was a hit for sure. It's somewhat of a different sound from Selena that makes it fresh. Charli's vocals in the chorus was probably there to mask Selena's weakness, but it also adds a layer to the song that makes it more interesting. | | | |  | 4 4
confident - demi lovato
Confident
peak: 1 (x1) weeks: 11 (so far)
2014: Take It Or Leave It - Cage the Elephant
Many on ATRL don't seem to like this song so much, but I was slayed when I first heard it.  Like I wanna do on this song is just go "YAS GURL YAS GURL YAS GURL", it's just so sassy and... confident? But then my ears got tired after some time as it's quite a noisy song. | | | |  | 4 3
shut up and dance - walk the moon
What's Inside: Songs From Waitress
peak: 12 weeks: 12
2014: Something In the Water - Carrie Underwood
Finally Walk the Moon finds themselves a hit! Deservedly so, cuz this song is such a earworm. It's impossible to resist dancing to that chorus. Oh and that bridge. Ugh, it just takes the song to a whole new level. | | | | | 4 2
pay no mind (feat. passion pit) - madeon
Adventure
peak: 3 weeks: 13 (3 in top ten)
2014: My Song 5 (feat. A$AP Ferg) - HAIM
Madeon slaying again! Another flawless chorus again. When he goes into that high note in the chorus, woooo! | | | | :format(jpeg):mode_rgb()/discogs-images/A-614963-1409229359-2964.jpeg.jpg) | 4 1
see you again (feat. charlie puth) - wiz khalifa
Furious 7: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
peak: 7 weeks: 13 (2 in top ten)
2014: We Exist - Arcade Fire
Most of ATRL detests this song, mostly cuz it's overrated. I guess it is, cuz months ago no one could stop singing this. But there's a reason to that, cuz the song is really pretty sweet and beautiful and nice to singalong to. | |

If that's the way you want to put it, sure.
Now, that said...*deep breath* no, YOU shut up and dance. And, again, sorry, Madeon. If I had known that Mark Foster featured in one of your songs sooner, I would have checked your song(s) out.

I think Zedd is the poor man's version Of Madeon, just saying. 
Jealous and Same Old Love are cute too.

Sugar is one of my favorite M5 singles ever!
Jealous was my jam!
Beautiful Now is the best song Zedd has released in years!
SUAD, See You Again, Same Old Love, The Neighbourhood.... what an incredible set
