Exactly 
However, I like your top 2, but DLG is far from being my fave from Louder

Eh, I would have preferred How You Get The Girl to be on top of Wonderland.

 Replies@holyground: Both slay hard but Don't Let Go is just a massive bop. That chorus is LIFE.
@TC: Definitely
@K$Ellie: Right! People do underrate it because it's pop, yet it's the best song on the album. Yasss geT into Breezy.  Yas Battlefield charted, I think it hit the top 40 or at least 50 (too lazy to check ddd.)
@Bloomers: 
@Already Gone: Bye, Felicia 
@sumthintoxic82: Slay that recap
@Amaloner: 2nd place 
Welcome to Day 14! There is no performer for today as these categories will be more rushed to complete things in a faster manner - though they'll be back for Day 15!
This is the day where we finally begin the finally three lists, the ones you've all been waiting for! So get ready, because there's going to be a lot to see.
Best Films #22-16
Best Albums | #40-37
Best Songs | #130-116
Best Albums | #36-33
Best Songs | #116-101
Every year has some amazing movies and some disappointing ones. For 2014, I was interested in more films that came out but the quality wasn't necessarily as amazing as '13. Either way, here's the list of all that I saw last year - including a few of the unfortunate flops. Tracking period: 11/01/2013 to 12/25/2014
#22-16
 | #22 Sex Tape
Grade: F
Starring: Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel
RT: 17% | IMDB: 5.1/10 | MC: 36%
Release Date: July 25th, 2014
Mini Review: In an absolute waste of the talents their main cast holds, Sex Tape boasts painfully unfunny jokes, bland dialogue and is not worth using time on at all, which is why I didn't even watch all 90 minutes of it. |
 | #21 The Wolf of Wall Street
Grade: D-
Starring: Leonardo DiCpario, Jonah Hill
RT: 77% | IMDB: 8.3/10 | MC: 75%
Release Date: December 25th, 2013
Mini Review: A three-hour romp filled with constant nudity, drugs and F-bombs to cover up its many flaws. The duration of the film is a big reason for why it's bad, but DiCaprio and Hill still bring their A-game. |
 | #20 The Other Woman
Grade: D+
Starring: Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton
RT: 23% | IMDB: 6/10 | MC: 39%
Release Date: April 25th, 2014
Mini Review: Another weak Cameron Diaz film in the mix, though she's still one of the better performances in it. This is another nearly laughless comedy that has uninteresting characters that make the whole film uninteresting as a whole. |
 | #19 The Interview
Grade: C-
Starring: Seth Rogen, James Franco, Lizzy Caplan
RT: 52% | IMDB: 7.2/10 | MC: 52%
Release Date: December 25th, 2014
Mini Review: The first 15 to 20 minutes are heavily choppy with try-hard jokes but things start to pick up and even though there's not as many laughs as promised, there's still a few chuckles along the way as well as simple interest as to what's going to happen and why it was all so controversial. |
 | #18 Annie
Grade: C
Starring: Quvenzhané Wallis, Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, Rose Burne
RT: 27% | IMDB: 4.9/10 | MC: 33%
Release Date: December 19th, 2014
Mini Review: This movie wasn't all that bad, there were some definite cute points but things started significantly fading during the second half, where there were plenty of awkward moments, dialogue or songs that didn't feel right, and modern changes that weren't necessary. Also, the soundtrack is quite bleak. |
 | #17 The Lego Movie
Grade: C
Starring: Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Will Ferrell (voices)
RT: 96% | IMDB: 7.9/10 | MC: 83%
Release Date: February 7th, 2014
Mini Review: I know this was heavily praised and loved, and I actually enjoyed a good amount of it. The voice cast is talented, it's witty and funny, but I really just wasn't interested in the plot and it kind of bored me - though I loved the live action switch-up towards the end. Could've been better overall. |
 | #16 Anchorman 2
Grade: C+
Starring: Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd
RT: 75% | IMDB: 6.4/10 | MC: 61%
Release Date: December 18th, 2013
Mini Review: I loved the first Anchorman and it's such an A-grade comedy, though unfortunately the very late sequel doesn't provide as great of quality. The jokes are still there, the characters are still enjoyable, but the sarcastically dramatic change of pace halfway through put an unnecessary cloud over it. |

Solid start to your films list! I pretty much agree with all of these reviews- lots of movies with high potential that unfortunately fell flat, or just didn't live up the expectations I had after seeing all the hype/raving. Glad to see TWOWW charting so low, that movie dragged on sooo much after like, the first hour.
Queen Diaz dominating the lower half of the list out of the three movies she was in, I'd say Miss. Hannigan was her best role. She was genuinely funny throughout the movie!
Best part of Sex Tape was Jason Segel, and not because he was funny.

@Already Gone: Whaaaat?  How have you not seen at least one?!?!?
@Lethal: wat
@posh: Yas so true, TWOWS had a fine opening hour but the other two just disappointed and really did drag. Cameron was fine in all 3 films but unfortunately for ST and TOW, they were really disappointing. Annie was alright for the most part and as we discussed, her part was definitely entertaining and unfortunately people just didn't get it.
With this list, there are also a lot more entries than in 2013, and luckily the quality was even better. There's still a few weak links in the list, as per usual, but overall I'm definitely impressed with many of these releases. These are my top 40 albums of 2014.

Anyway, I haven't seem many movies. The Lego Movie was great though. And I loved the first Anchorman, didn't see the second. But Drake was in it and he is my main favorite artist so obligated 
I haven't listened to Wiz, but I liked Azealia and Foster The People
On your songs list, I generally like 1 Direction. That Shakira song is amazing, but the WhoooOOOoooOOoo kind of weakens it. Good start

Shut down those bootleggers and get those sales for The Lord
Also, yes to you being the only other person with Cheek To Cheek on your countdown
X is too high. But I have to check out Gerard's album. I have it, but haven't listened yet  Magic!'s album was also pretty good too.

OMG Azealia And I surprisingly liked the Gerard Way album, although I find it kind of... you know, there are better releases within the same genre in my opinion.
Honestly, TRF.
