80. Lily Allen / L8 CMMR / Sheezus
A tongue-in-cheek song that maintains Lily's sarcastic songwriting while displaying her new, Electronic sound.
79. Taylor Swift / I Know Places / 1989
Carried by it's memorable melody in the chorus, Taylor's vocals truly shine on I Know Places.
78. Ariana Grande / Break Free (feat. Zedd) / My Everything
A welcome change for Ariana. While the lyrics are far from perfect, the instrumentation and her voice make up for it.
77. Lana Del Rey / F**ked My Way Up To the Top / Ultraviolence
Lana displays anger and rage on this twisted and dark midtempo about a certain naysayer in the industry.
76. Sam Smith / I'm Not the Only One / In the Lonely Hour
Nothing shines more than Sam's emotion on this touching ballad dealing with infidelity.
75. Bleachers / Wake Me / Strange Desire
Bleachers' continues their throwback trend on this mellow, simplistic song about love.
74. Hozier / Take Me to Church / Hozier
An unexpected smash that truly stands out compared to everything else out right now. Hozier's songwriting is incredible, and this song displays his skill.
73. Maroon 5 / My Heart Is Open (feat. Gwen Stefani) / V
Maroon 5 makes their only appearance this year with the aid of Gwen Stefani and the lack of their usual corniness.
72. Nicki Minaj / Pills N Potions / The Pinkprint
One of the most introspective songs in Nicki's discography. Her verses are strong, and the melody is on point.
71. OneRepublic / Love Runs Out / Native
The perfect follow up to Counting Stars. A fun and intense uptempo carried by Ryan's strong melody and vocals.
08. Ariana Grande / My Everything Problem / One Last Time / Why Try / Break Free / Love Me Harder
Ariana avoids the dreaded sophomore slump, and instead, vastly improves on My Everything.
Filled with synths, vocal runs, and features, the album is a non-stop adventure for fans of Ariana.
08. Iggy Azalea
While Iggy may not be everyones favorite, she has made an impact on me this year.
From her highly successful debut album to her collaborations, Iggy and her verses have been on constant repeat this entire year.
Pills N Potions, Break Free, L8 Cmmr, I'm Not the ONly One, Take Me to Church FMWUTTT is probably my least favorite song on Ultraviolence My Everything
