35 · ONE DIRECTION, "Steal My Girl"
Weeks on Chart: 10 Weeks
Peak Position: #01 (1 Week)
Debut Date: October 25, 2014
So far, this is 1D's lowest charting single in terms of yearend list. For this track, the guys ventured into a more mature sound and I am not sure if I'm comfortable with it yet. I've been a big fan of the band's bubblegum and power pop efforts, and I must say I still long for those type of tracks.
♫ "Everybody wanna take her love away. Couple billion in the whole wide world. Find another one 'cause she belongs to me." ♫
2013: LADY GAGA, "Applause" |
 |
34 · ELLA HENDERSON, "Ghost"
Weeks on Chart: 9 Weeks
Peak Position: #01 (2 Weeks)
Debut Date: May 31, 2014
Newest British phenomenon Ella Henderson had an awesome performance on my yearend list with three entries. Her debut single "Ghost" became an instant favorite of mine. I really loved the power and soul she had put into. The vocals were flawless and the delivery was incredibly stunning.
♫ "I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane. Had to meet the devil just to know his name." ♫
2013: WILL.I.AM f/ BRITNEY SPEARS, "Scream And Shout" |
 |
33 · ICONA POP, "All Night"
Weeks on Chart: 9 Weeks
Peak Position: #01 (2 Weeks)
Debut Date: September 28, 2013
Icona Pop charts strongly in the yearend list as the smash EDM track "All Night" lands at #33. I wasn't really a big fan of this single when it was released, but it grew on me a lot towards the end of 2013. Aside from outstanding electronic production, the duo definitely did an impressive job with their playful vocals.
♫ "We can smash the floor, make the pop go raw. We're the love mystique, we don't need no sleep. And it feels like, we could do this all night." ♫
2013: ONE DIRECTION, "Story Of My Life" |
 |
32 · DEMI LOVATO f/ CHER LLOYD, "Really Don't Care"
Weeks on Chart: 11 Weeks
Peak Position: #02
Debut Date: July 5, 2014
Demi has always been a favorite of mine since 2012. I'm very much elated to see her collaborating with another favorite, Cher. "Really Don't Care" is one track you will not hesitate to love at first listen. The chorus and verses were insanely infectious. Definitely one of the standout collaborations of the year.
♫ "Ooh, I need somebody to calm me down - a little loving like Valium. I need somebody to knock me out. I need some loving like." ♫
2013: THE SCRIPT, "Six Degrees Of Separation" |
 |
31 · MICHAEL JACKSON f/ JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, "Love Never Felt So Good"
Weeks on Chart: 5 Weeks
Peak Position: #02
Debut Date: May 24, 2014
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of JT and even the [i]King of Pop[/i[ himself. However, this thing changed my impression and I finally appreciated their artistry. "Love Never Felt So Good" is such a fun funk song. The verses and hooks were extremely catchy. Such a great remix.
♫ "And the night through the thickest tears, gotta fly, gotta sing, can't believe. I can't take it!" ♫
2013: PITBULL f/ CHRISTINA AGUILERA, "Feel This Moment" |
 |
SAM SMITH
Best R&B/Soul Act Ever
Need I say more? He's definitely the man of the hour. With such soul, emotions and vulnerability, it won't be difficult to got hooked into Sam's efforts.
RUNNER-UP: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE |

30 · ARIANA GRANDE f/ THE WEEKND, "Love Me Harder"
Weeks on Chart: 9+ Weeks
Peak Position: #01 (1 Week)
Debut Date: November 8, 2014
Ariana makes her first appearance on the list with surefire R&B hit "Love Me Harder". I instantly got hooked to the track because it simply takes me back to the 90's. The two acts definitely delivered such soothing yet seductive vocals. It feels like bringing back the golden age of Mimi's music.
♫ "If you know about me and choose to stay. Then take this pleasure and take away the pain." ♫
2013: JUSTIN BIEBER f/ NICKI MINAJ, "Beauty And A Beat" |
 |
29 · CHARLI XCX, "Boom Clap"
Weeks on Chart: 8 Weeks
Peak Position: #02
Debut Date: June 21, 2014
Charli XCX had an amazing 2014 as her first major solo effort "Boom Clap" smashed globally. When I first came across the track, I don't what to expect because the title seems to be pretty irrelevant. Nevertheless, these thoughts have been crossed out cause the track sounded really fantastic.
♫ "You are the light and I will follow. You let me lose my shadow. You are the sun the glowing halo." ♫
2013: TAYLOR SWIFT f/ ED SHEERAN, "Everything Has Changed" |
 |
28 · BELLA FERRARO f/ WILL SINGE, "Forgot You"
Weeks on Chart: 9 Weeks
Peak Position: #01 (1 Week)
Debut Date: October 26, 2013
Wowing us at #28 is a less popular pick courtesy of X Factor Australia alumnus Bella Ferraro. This talented girl awed me last year with the lovely and soulful "Set Me On Fire". This time, she released a sweet-sounding moving on anthem through "Forgot You". However, listening to this track makes me feel the opposite.
♫ "And I'll be the best through the chill I'll never have. And I'm better off now that I forgot you." ♫
2013: ZEDD f/ FOXES, "Clarity" |
 |
27 · DEMI LOVATO, "Neon Lights"
Weeks on Chart: 8 Weeks
Peak Position: #04
Debut Date: November 30, 2013
Demi appears for the second consecutive set with the vocally impressive "Neon Lights". I wasn't a big fan of this track when it was released probably because I still can't get over "Made In The USA". Nevertheless, it became one of my favorites earlier this year as my friends frequently play this song during gatherings.
♫ "You're all I see in all these places. You're all I see in all these faces. So let's pretend we're running out of time, of time." ♫
2013: BRUNO MARS, "When I Was Your Man" |
 |
26 · CHER LLOYD, "Sirens"
Weeks on Chart: 14 Weeks
Peak Position: #01 (1 Week)
Debut Date: May 3, 2014
Cher is back in the game as she returns in the Top 30 with the soulful hit "Sirens". I was totally in awe when I first heard the track cause I never thought she'd do something as dark and deep as this. The maturity was well-timed. The emotions, vulnerability and vocals blended perfectly.
♫ "I carry the weight of you heading back to start. With the thousand eyes on me, I stumble on." ♫
2013: MILEY CYRUS, "We Can't Stop" |

ARIANA GRANDE f/ THE WEEKND, "Love Me Harder"
JOHN LEGEND, "All Of Me"
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, "Not A Bad Thing"
NICK JONAS, "Jealous"
