I love Right There! My fave from this set 
I love love Macklemore & Ryan's music! Same Love is not my fave song from them, but the message is great

Damn, not my momma! Quit messin' wit my momma! 
But seriously, "MILF" is just something else. Combined with it's interlude, I just didn't know what to make of it when I first heard it. It is a fun track, though.
Glad to see Ciara get some love, and "Wild For the Night" is epic.

DJ KHALED F/ NICKI MINAJ, FUTURE & RICK
ROSS - I Wanna Be With You
There's many reasons why I Wanna Be With You is so great as
your standard radio Rap track. Nicki's verse is absolutely and
devastatingly insane, Future's hook is top-grade catchy, and
Ross delivers his verse with sharp finesse. The track just works
in all its DJ Khaled glory. The song isn't a high-quality Hip-Hop
song at all (sans Nicki's legitimately quality verse), but not all
music is about that. There's times where you want to enjoy
yourself and blast your coonery and act a fool. I Wanna Be With
You isn't like that, because it details what somebody would want
in someone that they love, but the song can still make you bruk
out. Overall, I Wanna Be With You is prime DJ Khaled, and that's
all that will ever matter.

This shoulda definitely been top 50, Wills!

80. EMINEM F/ RIHANNA - The Monster
The Monster is the fourth single from Emimen's blockbuster eighth studio album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The song features Rihanna on the hook, much like on their global smash hit Love the Way You Lie. However, the song isn't as good as their last collaboration together, surprisingly. Sonically, The Monster is serving Flo-Rida-lite to a T. The shining moment of the song is Rihanna's hook and basically speaking, she obviously makes the entire song. 2013 was only the beginning for Eminem. Expect to see the icon & the other ICON frequently in 2014.
79. AVICII - Wake Me Up
I absolutely adore this entire song in every single aspect. Aloe Blacc's uncredited vocals on the sound are so rich and soulful over the brash euphoric EDM production and really, the song makes me want to be a white woman from Tennessee in a muddy rave in July. The country-esque vibe to the production adds a certain essence to it that forces you to get up and dance. One can argue that Timber was a product of this song, although Wake Me Up is much more superior. Wake Me Up was a global success for Avicii, and rightfully so.
78. JAY Z F/ FRANK OCEAN - Oceans
Oceans is an album track from Jay's twelfth studio album Magna Carta Holy Grail, and it's a damn powerful song. Frank's hook uses powerful symbolism to discuss racism & slavery, and how African-Americans who were once enslaved are now living a life of opulence. Quite frankly, the song is Frank Ocean's hook, and while that doesn't take away from Mr. Carter's verses, it's important to note the sheer powerful in Frank's lyrics. Frank Ocean is making his return to music in 2014, and I can't say if his new album will be as acclaimed as channel ORANGE, but I am curious to see what he'll bring to the table.
77. MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS F/ WANZ - Thrift Shop
Thrift Shop doesn't need a background story & it doesn't need an introduction. The song was released in 2012, but it primarily dominated the first half of 2013. Thrift Shop's notoriety came from its music video, but the song itself is genuinely fun. The looped saxophone melody in the production of the track adds a catchiness to the track that is unlike any other. Wanz's hook on the track is one that was everywhere in 2013, which added onto the phenomenon that was Thrift Shop. Expect to see Macklemore & Ryan Lewis more in 2014, as they gear up for the Grammy Awards next month.
76. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - Pusher Love Girl
Pusher Love Girl is an amazing track. The song comes from Timberlake's blockbuster comeback album The 20/20 Experience, and is probably one of the better tracks on that decent album. Unlike the other songs on the album, Pusher Love Girl's length (8:02) doesn't make the song feel like it's dragging, and surprisingly, Timberlake works with the length to create a fantastic song. You already know JT had an amazing 2013, so you should expect to see him in 2014 as he continues his world tour and continues to release singles from his album(s).
75. MARIO F/ NICKI MINAJ - Somebody Else
Somebody Else was the first single from Mario's new album Evolve, and the song was such a refreshing burst of fresh air. The R&B jam is primarily centered around a 1975 sample of Remember the Rain, and overall, it's serves to accelerate the song into higher heights. Combine that with Onika's verse in where she serves to give the woman's side of the failed relationship, and you have an absolutely fantastic song.
74. HAIM - The Wire
The Wire is the fourth single from Haim's debut studio album Days Are Gone, and this song was a nice discovery for me. The song reminds me of a bright day driving in California in 1994, and it's genuinely a feel-good track.The snaps on the bridge instantly have me snapping & doing my two-step while listening to the song, and really, it's a truly amazing song. 2013 was only the beginning of Haim's breakthrough into the semi-mainstream world, and with that, hopefully we'll see more of the group in 2014.
73. JAY Z F/ BEYONCÉ - Part II (On the Run)
Who wants that perfect love story anyway? Those are bold lyrics, but it applies so much. Theoretically, the track is a sequel to 03 Bonnie & Clyde, but it's so much more than a sequel. The song is such a fantastic Hip-Hop ballad filled with synths and airy production, and with that, it's one of the better tracks on Jay's album. My personal favorite moment of the track is Jay's use of Juvenile's flow from Back That Azz Up during a few parts of the track. It's just a great ass track, which also happens to be nominated for a Grammy Award. I'm not even going to bother to talk about Bey because you will see her again on this countdown. Trust & believe that.
72. BEYONCÉ F/ CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHE - ***Flawless
Queen. Royalty. Talent. Grace. These are all things that are used to describe Beyoncé Giselle, so it's only right that she has the right to be cocky a few times right? Part of Flawless was first released in March 2013 on Bey's Soundcloud as Bow Down / I Been On, and the song definitely caused a stir due to the lyrics on Bow Down. The album version adds more to the song, and also features a prominent sample from Chimamanda's stunning speech on feminism. Overall, the track is excellent. Just excellent. It works in every way possible, and the speech inclusion adds onto it to create one of the best tracks of the year.
71. KANYE WEST - On Sight
On Sight is the opening track from Kanye's massively acclaimed sixth studio album Yeezus, and the song is brash and intense. It's obnoxious and noisy, but that's what makes the work in every possible aspect. The lyrics are controversial and the production is purely electronic, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Kanye is such an enigma and his art is noted for being so superior to the rest. On Sight is just another example of the experimentation Kanye loves to do.
