Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I LOVE this song! The lyrics doesn't even make any sense (it's like a... cover? I don't know what's this ) but I'm not here for that, I'm here for that amazing production! If you like dance music you're going to like this
Imagine Dragons
"On Top Of The World"
Album: Night Visions
Watch The Video Here
Why?: The most overrated band of 2013 (in my opinion ) but this song is good! My favorite single from them
Ariana Grande
"Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea)"
Album: My Everything
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Ariana's last entry this year! I know she kinda "flopped" on my best of but that's because she flopped on my weekly countdown and the reason is simple... the songs are great but I overplayed them I know Ariana is going to appear next year again so don't worry
Nicki Minaj
"Anaconda"
Album: The Pinkprint
Watch The Video Here

Example
"All The Wrong Places"
Album: Live Life Living
Watch The Video Here

Fergie
"L.A.LOVE (la la) (feat. YG)"
Album: N/A

Redfoo
"New Thang"
Album: I Look Good Naked!
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Now this is another guilty pleasure This song is really great at partys, love it! This is the first song from Redfoo (as a solo artist) that I like. The production is generic though...

Miley Cyrus

Why?: Didn't like this song at first but it's definitely a grower! but only the song, the music video is a boring mess I can't wait for more music from Miley Cyrus
Coldplay
"Magic"
Album: Ghost Stories
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Coldplay's only entry this year! But that isn't a bad thing because this is, actually, their first entry ever and that's because "Magic" is the first song I like from them since... I don't even know, probably "Speed Of Sound" so this is a great step for them! I love this song

Calvin Harris
"Open Wide (feat. Big Sean)"
Album: Motion

Dada Life
"Born To Rage (feat. Sebastian Bach)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Dada Life was my favorite "new" artist of 2012 but this year their work was underwhelming This song is not bad... but it got old really fast! This is their only entry this year. By the way... I read last week that one of the members from Dada Life has cancer I really hope he recovers soon
Sigma
"Nobody To Love"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I like Sigma! They sound like Rudimental which is good! This song is great, brings me good vibes and I love the music video. The best parts of the song are that "Uh-huh, honey's" By the way...

Enrique Iglesias
"Bailando (feat. Descemer Bueno & Gente...)"
Album: Sex And Love
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Enrique Iglesias is a hit or a miss for me... but "Bailando" was a hit! In fact, this is the only song in spanish that is part of my top 100 this year I think that's great. Speaking of latin music... it sucked this year (Where are you Julieta Venegas??? )
Kiesza
"Giant In My Heart"
Album: Sound Of A Woman
Watch The Video Here
Why?: This woman is amazing! It's like she was born in the wrong time, every time I listen to her music I feel like I'm in the 90's... or 80's, I don't know This is a great song. One song left from Kiesza
Calvin Harris & Alesso
"Under Control (feat. Hurts)"
Album: Motion
Watch The Video Here

Cash Cash
"Take Me Home (feat. Bebe Rexha)"
Album: Overtime EP
Watch The Video Here

Lorde
"Yellow Flicker Beat"
Album: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1...
Watch The Video Here

St. Vincent
"Digital Witness"
Album: St. Vincent

Why?: Maroon 5 used to be a hit or a miss for me... but lately they're a hit! This song is really good. I wasn't a big fan of the music video at first but now I like it! This is so much better than "Maps". This is M5's only and last entry this year
Secondcity
"I Wanna Feel"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here

Album: Lunatic
Watch The Video Here
Why?: This song is really good! I thought it was going to be a bigger hit The music video is really cool too! This band has a great style
Clean Bandit
"Dust Clears"
Album: New Eyes
Watch The Video Here
Why?: This is my favorite song from Clean Bandit by far! The reason why this is so low is because it was released in 2013 but I really love it! Didn't know the girl from Clean Bandit could sing so well This is definitely better than "Rather Be" 2 songs left from Clean Bandit
Pitbull
"Fireball (feat. John Ryan)"
Album: Globalization
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I said that "Timber" was my last Pitbull entry this year... sorry, it was a mistake! "Fireball" is This song is really catchy and I think John Ryan really sounds great

Pharrell Williams
"Happy"
Album: G I R L
Watch The Video Here
Why?: According to a lot of people this is the most annoying song of 2014 (of all time for some )... but that's not my case! for some reason "Happy" never really bored me I think is a great song... but only 1 play per day, more that that is unbearable
George Ezra
"Blame It On Me"
Album: Wanted on Voyage
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Missing the Top 50 for 1 spot () here is George Ezra! One of my favorite "new" artists of 2014. He's not the type of music that I usually like but I don't know, his music is fantastic! Love his lyrics and of course his incredible voice. "Blame It One Me" is really good but not his best...
MisterWives
"Reflections"

Lily Allen

5 Seconds Of Summer
"She Looks So Perfect"
Album: She Looks So Perfect
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Oh God I can't believe I like this song They're one of my biggest guilty pleasures of 2014! They're the "rock" () version of 1D but with better music and 10 times more talented This song is really... interesting! It sounds like a pop-rock with from 2004
David Guetta
"Lovers On The Sun (feat. Sam Martin)"
Album: Listen
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Hated this song at first because it was like a "Wake Me Up" rip off (and I hate WMU! Avicii's worst single to date) but I don't know, the song grew on me slowly. I love Sam Martin's vocals
Example
"Take Me As I Am"
Album: Live Life Living
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Example again! This song is good but not my favorite... plus it was only a promo single so it "flopped" on my weekly countdown. The production is amazing though. Not Example's best song, but serves its purpose as a good promotional single! 3 songs left from Example
Clean Bandit
"Extraordinary (feat. Sharna Bass)"
Album: New Eyes
Watch The Video Here

Why?: Like I said before Shift K3Y was one of my favorite producers this year! His music is amazing, and this is my favorite song from him (so far, because I know he can release a better song in 2015!). By the way... a random fun fact! Shift K3Y's "Touch" is the first music video that appears on my Best Of 2014 that is also on my banner
Robin Schulz
"Sun Goes Down (feat. Jasmine Thompson)"
Album: Prayer
Watch The Video Here
Why?: First entry from Robin Schulz and 2 left! He was, definitely, my favorite Dj/Producer of 2014! His productions are amazing and I really love "Prayer" (his album). "Sun Goes Down" is one of my favorite songs right now! Amazing music, good music video and incredible vocals from Jasmine Thompson... CAN YOU BELIEVE SHE'S ONLY 14 **** YEARS OLD? (She was 13 when she shot that music video!)
Shakira
"Can't Remember To Forget You (feat. Rihanna)"
Album: Shakira
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Shakira has been a hit or a miss lately... but this time she was a hit for me! CRTFY is a great song, when she said she worked with Rihanna I never imagined it was a pop-rock song Risky move from Shakira that I loved! (too bad she kinda underperformed ). The music video is hot This is Shakira's only & last entry this year
†††
"The Epilogue"
Album: †††
Watch The Video Here
Why?: One of the few alternative songs that charted on my countdown this year! This song is amazing, I love that chorus! but the music video is really boring, I think I've never seen it in full
Nico & Vinz
"Am I Wrong"
Album: Black Star Elephant
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Now is kinda annoying I must admit, but this song was my jam last summer! Really good song with an amazing music video and a great message
Gorgon City
"Ready For Your Love (feat. MNEK)"
Album: Sirens
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Incredible vocals with an amazing production! This song is everything! I really love it. I feel like Gorgon City was the Disclosure of 2014 This is their last entry this year
Example
"Kids Again"
Album: Live Life Living
Watch The Video Here
Why?: "Say Nothing" used to be my least favorite Example single... then he released "Kids Again" I mean, is not terrible, but is generic as **** compared to any other single from Example! The lyrics are cute but generic too. This is really "high" only because I loved the music video! His best from this era. 2 entries left from Example
Calvin Harris
"Blame (feat. John Newman)"
Album: Motion
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Another disappointment... "Blame" isn't bad but I think is really forgettable! One of my least favorite Calvin Harris' singles. Apart from that... the music video is horrible, I hate it One song left from Calvin Harris
Bastille
"Of The Night"
Album: All This Bad Blood
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I hated this song at first because I'm a big fan of the original song (one of my favorite songs of all time!) but it really grew, right now I think this is one of the best covers of all time Bastille is an incredible band! This is their only and last entry this year
Bakermat
"One Day (Vandaag)"

Iggy Azalea
"Fancy (feat. Charli XCX)"
Album: The New Classic
Watch The Video Here
Why?: A great year for Iggy! When I first heard this song I never imagined it was going to be the summer hit I'm happy for Iggy, she deserves all her success! "Fancy" is just too catchy to be ignored This is Iggy last entry this year... but not Charli's
Show N Prove
"If Only (feat. Shakka)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Thank you VEVO recommendations! This song was an instant hit (for me of course) since the first play. Good production and Shakka has an incredible voice. This is probably the most unknown song of my whole countdown
Duke Dumont
"Won't Look Back"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Last year Duke Dumont was just another "decent" producer from the UK... but this year he became in one of my favorites! "Won't Look Back" is an incredible song, with his characteristic songs and a really entertaining music video. There is still one song from Duke Dumont left
Karmin
"I Want It All"
Album: Pulses
Watch The Video Here
Why?: This amazing (Get Lucky-like ) track should've been a mainstream hit, is so good Karmin... these guys are so talented, and really underrated. I hope they could find success in the future, because they really deserve that and this song is the proof! The music video is nothing special though...
The Chainsmokers
"Kanye (feat. Siren)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I like #Selfie but never got obsessed with that song so when I first heard "Kanye" I did it with no expectations... and I was amazed What an epic production! That Siren girl has an incredible voice and I love the lyrics... but I don't know why they chose Kanye as their reference... oh well I need a new "Kanye" please Chainsmokers, please hurry up!
Clean Bandit
"Rather Be (feat. Jess Glynne)"
Album: New Eyes
Watch The Video Here
Why?: One of my biggest jams earlier this year! "Rather Be" is a good song from Clean Bandit, but I don't think is their best, it got old quick. Right now I can't stand that song anymore The music video is one of their worst too... but that doesn't mean is bad! This is their last entry this year... but Jess still has one (collaboration) left
Chase & Status
"Blk & Blu (feat. Ed Thomas)"
Album: Brand New Machine
Watch The Video Here
Why?: "Brand New Machine" was one of my favorite albums of 2013 but I never paid attention to this track After it was chosen as a single I suddenly I became obsessed! The chorus is so addictive and I love that Ed Thomas guy's voice
Meghan Trainor
"All About That Bass"
Album: Title
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Well I don't have any words for this song lol I just love it! Catchy as hell and I love the positive message. The music video is amazing too! I don't know why I love colorful music videos This is Meghan's only and last entry this year... but I'm sure she will be back in 2015
Idina Menzel
"Let It Go"
Album: Frozen
Watch The Video Here
Why?: And the Top 20 starts with Elsa Tbh I wasn't impressed with this song when I first saw the movie on theaters... but thanks to the hype I gave the song another opportunity and guess what! An instant hit. Frozen's soundtrack is one of my favorites of all time and I'm 100% happy with the movie's success The first animated music video that enters to my countdown!
George Ezra
"Budapest"
Album: Wanted on Voyage
Watch The Video Here
Why?: This is not the type of music that I usually listen to! but this song grew on me slowly and right now is one of my favorite songs of 2014! Geroge is an incredible artist, his voice is amazing, he's an incredible live performer and his music videos are really good! Of course he deserves a place in the top 20 + I love when he pronounces "Beautiful Castillo"
Kiesza
"Hideaway"
Album: Sound Of A Woman
Watch The Video Here
Why?: The modern queen of the 80s This song is fantastic! Loved it at first listen when I discovered this song because it was #1 in the UK And "Hideaway" is one of my favorite music videos of the year too! This girl can dance, can sing... is the whole package
Tove Lo
"Habits (Stay High)"
Album: Queen Of The Clouds
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Queen Of The Clouds? No, Tove Lo is the Queen Of My Heart She's so talented and Habits is one of my favorite songs of 2014! I don't want to give spoilers but this is really, really low only for one reason... there is another Tove Lo track higher... and it's a remix
Why?: I love to wake up every morning with this flawless track! (and that's literal because this is my alarm ringtone ). And I love how good electronic music can make you feel good without the need of lyrics, is just incredible! One of my most played tracks of the year of course! Is a little bit low though, but that's because every song left deserves #1 2014 was a good year for music!
Why?: This song reminds me to and old song.. but I don't know which one Top 15 starts with Jungle! One of my favorite discoveries of 2014, they're music is great and something new for me! Really love this track and their original style. The music video is entertaining too! One of the few tracks that I bought on iTunes this year
Faul & Wad Ad
"Changes (feat. Pnau)"
Album: N/A

Charli XCX
"Boom Clap"
Album: Sucker
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Here is Charli XCX with her last entry this year, the amazing "Boom Clap"! Really loved the song since the first listen, I thought I was going to be bored of the song in a few weeks though.... but that never happened I still listen to this amazing song almost every day. The music video is alright, but Charli looks so hot! Can't wait for more Charli in 2015
Mr. Probz
"Waves (Robin Schulz Remix)"
Album: Prayer
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Robin Schulz making his 2nd entry this year! "Waves"... wow, I have no words to describe this song, is just amazing! Mr. Probz really sings well, with a lot of emotion. The lyrics are fantastic, the production incredible and I really love the music video too! One of my most played tracks of 2014, and also one of the best runs in the history of my weekly countdown! One song from Robin Schulz left (or more like one remix left)
Example
"One More Day (Stay With Me)"
Album: Live Life Living
Watch The Video Here
Why?: It breaks my heart, it really breaks my heart the fact that this song is not #1, let alone top 10 Example sounds better than ever, the production is amazing! probably his best one since "Playing In The Shadows" and I love the fact that Example raps again! So.... what's the problem? THE **** MUSIC VIDEO! So, so, sooo bad! I can't believe Example shot a mediocre music video for one of his best songs ever, that really broke my heart That's why "One More Day" just missed top 10... but don't worry about Example, he still has one entry left (of course inside Top 10)
The Neighbourhood
"Sweater Weather"
Album: I Love You
Watch The Video Here
Why?: And Top 10 starts with one of my favorite bands of 2013... first of all I know this is so 2013 but in my defense this was a hit in the US earlier this year One of my favorite songs of late 2013 - early 2014! Is just... incredible! I love everything about this song! It was #1 for 3 weeks on my weekly countdown and because of that this song really deserves a place in the top 10 this year!
Hozier
"Take Me To Church"
Album: Hozier
Watch The Video Here
Why?: First of all... I really want to thank Pinkoverblue! You introduced me to this song way before it was a hit I've been listening to this song for months... but for some strange reason I got obsessed like in October! I just love this song. Hozier is really talented! The music video is amazing too! That story... so sad This is the proof that you don't need a big budget to create something amazing! I'm so glad this song is smashing right now
Sia
"Chandelier"
Album: 1000 Forms Of Fear
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I must confess something... I HATED this song at first But 2 months later it really grew on me, after I paid attention to the music video Sia showed me with this song that she's a talented girl! And this is probably one of my favorite music videos of the year... Maddie (I think that's her name? ) is an incredible dancer too and I think she also contributed to the success of the song! So young and so talented Of course this is one of my favorite songs of 2014! One of my most played tracks... and my favorite song to sing along to! (but when there is absolutely no one around because I'm the worst singer of all time )
Lorde
"Team"
Album: Pure Heroine
Watch The Video Here
Why?: "Royals" was my #3 song of last year.. and this year the LORDe is back again! Another song on my top 10! Lorde's definitely my favorite female singer right now I must admit that I don't like the music video... but the song doesn't need a good one, is amazing on its own way. That amazing chorus is everything! One of my favorite songs of 2014 and of course it deserves a place on here!
Duke Dumont
"I Got U (feat. Jax Jones)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Final entry for Duke Dumont! Again... I wasn't a big fan of this song at first (WTF with my life? ) but after 2-3 plays... I was the biggest fan of this song! This is the song of the summer for me! That production, simple but great lyrics and amazing vocals, this is like the perfect electronic song for me! It really breaks my heart this song isn't top 5 And THIS IS MY FAVORITE MUSIC VIDEO OF 2014! I just want that guy's life (when he's using the case... or whatever that thing is ).
Example
"10 Million People"
Album: Live Life Living
Watch The Video Here
Why?: For the first time ever (since 2010, when I created my first Best Of) Example is out of the top 3! And is not like this song is bad or his worst work... this is #5 only because 2014 was full of incredible music If this were released in 2013 it would have been easily my #1... said that (because I don't want you to believe Example disappointed me this year ) here is "10 Million People"! This deep-house song from Example is fantastic! very different from his previous work.. but in a good way! My favorite song from his latest album and probably my favorite Example song since 2011 when he released that epic "Playing In The Shadows" album. The music video is good but not his best and maybe that's the reason why this song lost some points at the end and is now No. 5. 2015 is going to be a sad year in music because Example is now a dad and I feel like, for the first time ever, he's not going to release anything but well, this song is still strong on my weekly countdown and, at least, this will appear on my Best Of 2015 list again
Tove Lo
"Habits (Stay High) (Hippie Sabotage Remix)"
Album: Queen Of The Clouds
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Queen Tove Lo makes her last appearance this year! Thanks to this flawless remix I got into her music and I discovered the original song! There was a time when I loved the original & the remix equally... but right now I think the remix aged better and that's the reason why this flawless remix is my favorite version now! "Habits" is an incredible song with amazing (and sad) lyrics. The remix adds a touch of... I don't know, nostalgia maybe? and that makes this song even better. I swear I still love this remix like is the first time I hear it! The music video is just incredible. Thank you Tove Lo for this amazing year with your incredible music and congrats because "Habits" is now officially MY FAVORITE FEMALE SINGLE OF 2014
Route 94
"My Love (feat. Jess Glynne)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: There is no doubt Deep-house is my favorite musical genre ever This song is... INCREDIBLE! AMAZING! FANTASTIC! and any positive adjective that comes to your mind! That amazing production is everything! I know is a little bit repetitive... but this is not a pop song so this is the point I must confess I wasn't impressed with this song at first... it was nice and everything, but that's it. After 2 months I was obsessed! and I still am. This is my most played song of 2014 on my iPod and that's insane, even more played that my #1 and #2 songs I still love this song so much! This song really deserves #1... but there are 2 songs that I loved even more! By the way... I really want a new Route 94 single! "My Love" was released almost one year ago and we still don't have a new single, can't believe that
Lilly Wood & The Prick
"Prayer In C (Robin Schulz Remix)"
Album: Prayer
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I know some of you though this was my #1 song of the year and the flawless song really deserves that title! Like I said many times this was Robin Schulz's year! What an incredible producer he is. Love that unique sound that makes all his music original and great, not the typical electronic song. I must admit that I don't like the original song (too slow for me! ) but the lyrics are beautiful The music video is not my favorite of 2014 or anything, but I think is good! This song really relaxes me, and I love that! #1 for 5 weeks on my weekly countdown, one of the best runs ever, my current ringtone... of course this song is my 2nd favorite of 2014! Robin... you're my new favorite Dj right now! Please don't start making **** music like Avicii or Calvin Harris I have a lot of faith on you and I know you will continue releasing incredible music in 2015 (unlike my #1... )
AND THE BEST SONG OF 2014 IS...
Calvin Harris
"Summer"
Album: Motion
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Ugh.... I promised myself that I would stop being a Calvin Harris fan in 2014... all the disappointments, his new attitude (WFT? Now he's making photo shoots naked & in underwear? Where the **** is CALVIN HARRIS!!? The real Calvin Harris was focused on his music, not a lot of nonsense ) but... then he released the flawless "Summer" This is the Calvin Harris that I like! the one who can make an incredible song with catchy lyrics and good production on his own! without the flop help of any other artist... Now I need him to release "Faith" as the next single from "Motion" because the rest of that album is pure ****. "Summer" was my summer anthem! Love every part of that song. The only negative thing is the music video! Is horrible I want a real music video with a good story... or at least a music video with a special theme like the "I'm Not Alone" music video now he releases the same music video over and over again... but well, the song is flawless and, in spite of the music video, it takes my #1 this year! Wanna know an interesting fact? This is Calvin Harris' 3rd year that he takes the crown I can't believe that! He's definitely my favorite artist of all time... but please Calvin, please focus on your music again and give me a new "Ready For The Weekend" My most played song of the year (almost 1,600 plays!), 27 weeks on my weekly countdown and #1 for 6 weeks... of course "Summer" is my fave song of 2014!
Thank You For Your Comments
Full list without caps and comments @ the first post
And with this recap my Best Of 2014 is finally done!
Thank you so much guys for your support another year, you're the best!
I'll do my best this year and try to open my "Best Of 2015" thread in December! This year is going to be awesome but at the same time difficult, I just started my practices in the hospital and every 3 days we have guards of 32 hours (sleepless) so I don't really have time for ATRL anymore... at least this year but I really love music and I'll try to continue my weekly countdown and of course my Best Of 2015.
Yas Summer #1 Even tho I like him when he's shirtless and doing sexy photoshoots. I do think you're kind of expecting too much from him these days. But yas tha song is a major bop, as is the whole album.
As I said before, great Best Of See you in December
Hozier is amazing and his album is full of greatness, George's vocie is damn strong and good and like his folk songs, Tove Lo is the Queen of the Clouds and my heart and Robin is a good producer and can't wait to hear more from him. Too bad for Calvin and Avicii tho.
I always your Best of and this is no exception, Good luck on your practices. Hope you do well. Don't worry about ATRL tho. Focus on what you need to do. Still, good that you're here. See you around.
) but I'm not here for that, I'm here for that amazing production! If you like dance music you're going to like this 
) but this song is good! My favorite single from them 
I know Ariana is going to appear next year again so don't worry 
) 
Everything about this music video is... incredible! If you haven't seen this music video do it! You won't regret 
This song was my #2 last year and it's #82 this year, I think that's amazing 
) 
I can't wait for more music from Miley Cyrus 
This song is not bad... but it got old really fast! This is their only entry this year. By the way... I read last week that one of the members from Dada Life has cancer 
I really hope he recovers soon 
By the way... Example posted on Twitter that he recorded something with Sigma! They need to release that song in 2015 
(Where are you Julieta Venegas??? 
The music video is really cool too! This band has a great style 
)
This is Shakira's only & last entry this year 
Karmin... these guys are so talented, and really underrated. I hope they could find success in the future, because they really deserve that and this song is the proof! The music video is nothing special though... 
) but after 2-3 plays... I was the biggest fan of this song! This is the song of the summer for me! That production, simple but great lyrics and amazing vocals, this is like the perfect electronic song for me! It really breaks my heart this song isn't top 5

I want a real music video with a good story... or at least a music video with a special theme like the "I'm Not Alone" music video 
Even tho I like him when he's shirtless and doing sexy photoshoots. 
But yas tha song is a major bop, as is the whole album.
