140 · AFROJACK f/ WRABEL, "Ten Feet Tall"
Weeks on Chart: 3Weeks
Peak Position: #13
Debut Date: July 5, 2014
DJ-produced singles continued to dominate charts. This time, countdown first-timer Afrojack scores one with the amazing "Ten Feet Tall". Though it might not left as much impact as other EDM singles, this track has its own charm and definitely deserves some commendation.
♫ "Been trying so hard not to let it show. But you got me feeling like I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats. I swear I could touch the sky." ♫
2013: AVICII vs. NICKY ROMERO, "I Could Be The One" |

139 · CLEAN BANDIT & JESS GLYNNE, "Real Love"
Weeks on Chart: 6 Weeks
Peak Position: #09
Debut Date: October 25, 2014
After the smashing success of the phenomenal "Rather Be", Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne reunited to produce "Real Love". I admit the song did not reach the satisfaction I had over "Rather Be", but it's still pretty good and decent. Hoping for another team-up this coming 2015.
♫ "Oh, you've got the feeling that I wanna feel. Oh, you've got the feeling that I know is real, real, real." ♫
2013: NELLY, "Hey Porsche" |

138 · COBRA STARSHIP f/ ICONA POP, "Never Been In Love"
Weeks on Chart: 5 Weeks
Peak Position: #07
Debut Date: October 25, 2014
It's been a while since Cobra Starship released a material. This year, they collaborated with one of this year's countdown favorites - Icona Pop. The collaboration itself made me feel excited instantly and they did not disappoint. A smashing synthpop single!
♫ "Hey, it's fire and magic. But when you go away-way, it's like the Titanic. I'm split up into pieces in the Atlantic. So baby, won't you stay stay 'cause I gotta have it." ♫
2013: CHRIS BROWN, "Fine China" |

137 · 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER, "Amnesia"
Weeks on Chart: 2 Weeks
Peak Position: #17
Debut Date: August 9, 2014
Along with The Vamps, 5 Seconds of Summer became a staple name on my weekly charts. Thanks to "She Looks So Perfect". Sadly, this one failed to go par with my expectations. Despite its drama, it was just okay for me. Maybe I just prefer the power punk take of 5SOS.
♫ "t's like we never happened, was it just a lie? If what we had was real, how could you be fine?" ♫
2013: ICONA POP, "Girlfriend" |

136 · JESSIE J f/ 2 CHAINZ, "Burnin' Up"
Weeks on Chart: 4 Weeks
Peak Position: #07
Debut Date: October 11, 2014
Jessie J banged 2014 with vocally impressive singles - far from the underwhelming releases last year off her second album. After the massive "Bang Bang", Jessie J did not disappoint through this vocally stunning release. It might not have performed well on my countdown, but I still bop to this one.
♫ "Hot in the kitchen like a thousand degrees. That's how I'm feeling when you're next to me. I got a fever, tell me, what did you do?" ♫
2013: GERRI HALLIWELL, "Half Of Me" |

A GREAT BIG WORLD f/ CHRISTINA AGUILERA, "Say Something"
CHRISTINA PERRI, "Human"
ONE DIRECTION, "You & I"
SAM SMITH, "I'm Not The Only One"
SAM SMITH, "Stay With Me" |
