Rihanna
"Diamonds"
Album: Unapologetic
Watch The Video Here
Why?: And the top 100 starts with Rihanna! I wasn't a big fan of "Diamonds" at first... but it grew on me It's low because I played this song more on December of 2012 than this year, but still, Rihanna deserves a spot on here. One song left from Rihanna.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
"Same Love (Feat. Mary Lambert)"
Album: The Heist
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were one of my favorite artists from late 2012 and the whole 2013 but I must admit that I'm not the biggest fan of this song. The message & lyrics are cute, but the song is... kind of boring. But they deserved a place in the top 100 with this song . 3 songs from Macklemore & Ryan left.
Martin Garrix
"Animals"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I'm usually not a fan of songs without vocals but this one is just... great! Discovered it way too late, that's the reason why this song is so low. Martin is a pretty talented guy! and thanks to ReginaGeorge now I know that he's only 17 years old
RAC
"Let Go (Feat. Kele, MNDR)"
Album: Don't Talk To
Watch The Video Here

Bruno Mars
"Treasure"
Album: Unorthodox Jukebox
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Bruno Mars is one of the artists that I hated the most in 2010-2011... his music wasn't good for me, and his voice annoying. He was part of my 2012's worst list but now... I like him! Treasure is such a fun & catchy song, I love it . One song from Bruno Mars left.
Lorde
"Team"
Album: Pure Heroine
Watch The Video Here
Why?: One of my favorite songs from "Pure Heroine". This song is so amazing just like everything that Lorde releases. It's a little bit low because it was just released some days ago! In 2014 it will be higher for sure . 2 songs from Lorde left.
Eminem
"Rap God"
Album: The Marshall Mathers LP 2
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Here's Eminem's first and only entry this year! I loved his album but "Berzerk" is not my favorite single from him and "Survival" is just good. "Rap God" is the song that I love the most from his album, but the music video was released a few days ago and that's the reason why it's so slow. In 2014 Eminem is going to slay with "Rap God" (and "The Monster")
Fitz and The Tantrums
"Out of My League"
Album: More Than Just a Dream
Watch The Video Here
Why?: What an amazing and underrated song! I just discovered their music this year and it's so good! "Out Of My League" is a catchy fun song that you will love, even though the music video kinda sucks
Wallpaper.
"Good 4 It"
Album: Wicked Single Soundtrack

"The Way (Feat. Mac Miller)"
Album: Daydreamin'

Los Bunkers
"Bailando Solo"
Album: La Velocidad De La Luz
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Latin music is getting worst and worst each year... but this was one of the few songs that I liked in 2013! "Bailando Solo" is a really great song and its music video is interesting.
No Doubt
"Looking Hot"
Album: Push and Shove
Watch The Video Here
Why?: "Looking Hot", the only song that I really loved from No Doubt's album! Too bad that they removed the official music video and this was a flop, this amazing song deserved so much success
Paris Hilton
"Good Time (Feat. Lil Wayne)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Queen Paris Hilton, aka my biggest guilty pleasure of all time, is #87 lol. One of the most generic songs I've ever heard but I don't know, there's something in her voice that I enjoy (no, it's not the autotune ). Paris looked so hot in the music video and the credit goes for Afrojack too!
Imagine Dragons
"Radioactive"
Album: Night Visions
Watch The Video Here
Why?: The most overrated song of 2013 is here! Really loved this song in May-June... some months after its release but before it became so popular! Really great song (the video was meh, never really liked it) but it was overplayed! It was on the radio all the time, all my friends were playing that song, even my own brothers It's a good song, but I can't stand it anymore lol. This is their only and last entry this year
Zendaya
"Replay"
Album: Zendaya
Watch The Video Here
Why?: When she announced that she was ready to release music I was like... "another Disney girl?" but she was a nice surprise! Loved "Replay" since the first time I heard that song. So catchy and very different from the typical pop-rock song that almost all the Disney girls release.
Rihanna
"Stay (Feat. Mikky Ekko)"
Album: Unapologetic

Avicii
"Wake Me Up"
Album: True
Watch The Video Here
Why?: WORST AVICII SINGLE EVER What the hell he was thinking? Avicii was one of my favorite artists last year... he was my "new" Calvin Harris (you all know that Calvin disappointed me in 2011-2012) but now... I don't know anymore. Country music sucks.... who told him it was going to sound good in an electronic song? "Wake Me Up" is not the worst song of the year of course, but it's **** compared to Avicii's old work, I really miss the "Levels" days. First Calvin Harris... now Avicii... like Flame Beat Z000 said my faves really love to change their music and disappoint me There are 2 Avicii songs left (and not, none of them is "Wake Me Up" 2.0, I mean, "Hey Brother").
Britney Spears

Album: Britney Jean
Watch The Video Here

Panic! At The Disco
"Girls/Girls/Boys"
Album: Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I've always been a casual fan of Panic! At The Disco... but when I first heard "Miss Jackson" I was so disappointed. That song was terrible, like a copy from the new FOB's music... and I really hate the new FOB's music. The 2nd single was a little bit better... but still boring. Thanks God they released "Girls/Girls/Boys" Not their best single, but it's a good song... the music video is weird though
Paramore
"Now"
Album: Paramore
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Almost everyone seems to hate this Paramore song, and I really don't know why! It's a good first single for me... although Hayley looks so strange in the music video There is still one song left from them
John Newman
"Love Me Again"
Album: John Newman
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Great song, his voice is so original. Too bad I overplayed this song and got old fast... but now it's growing on me again The music video is good... I guess... but WFT whit that ending! This is John Newman's only and last entry, because I didn't like the rest of his singles
Example
"Come Taste The Rainbow"
Album: The Evolution Of Man

This is Bastille's last entry this year
Bruno Mars
"Locked Out of Heaven"
Album: Unorthodox Jukebox
Watch The Video Here

So different from the "mainstream" music that sounds nowadays, I really love this! I love when Bruno Mars doesn't release boring ballads as singles. I don't hate Bruno Mars anymore This is his last entry this year.
Why?: Since the first moment I heard this song I knew it was going to be my guilty pleasure Generic music, stupid video, and even worse lyrics of course, but this song is so addictive! I just love it... or loved it, now I'm tired of this song!

Why?: Before I heard their music, based on their looks, I thought they were like One Direction or something bad But wow, they impressed me with "Thank You"!

Why?: Disclosure, one of my favorite new artists from 2013 with their best song imo. This song is just amazing, should have been a single in the United States too the music video is boring, but who cares when you have an amazing song like "White Noise". This is their last entry this year
AWOLNATION
"Sail"
Album: Megalithic Symphony
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Only two songs that didn't debut on my weekly countdown are part of my Top 100... one is "Things We Lost In Fire" and the other one is this! What an amazing song, I know it's old as **** but I discovered it this year like many other people... and like many other people thanks to that Nanalew video lol. In my opinion that video is better and funnier that the original one but the original is great too. A song that was my jam this year and of course deserved a place this high!
Avicii
"You Make Me"
Album: True
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Avicii... he was getting closer to become my new favorite Dj (Calvin Harris, you're over ) "Levels", "Silhouettes", "I Could Be The One"... and then he started with that country - electronic crap and everything went to hell "True" was a mediocre album... but we have " You Make Me", thank God best song from that album and one of my favorite songs from Avicii, that production with the piano is flawless! Music video is amazing too. There is still one Avicii song left
Calvin Harris
"I Need Your Love (Feat. Ellie Goulding)"
Album: 18 Months
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Calvin Harris... Oh, Calvin Harris. My favorite artist back in 2009 to the first middle of 2011 I'm not saying anything else about that, you all know how disappointed I am with him, and the proof is that this is the first year, since I created my first besf of in 2010, that Calvin Harris just missed the Top 10 But there are some good news... I really hated this song when "18 Months" was released, it was his worst song to date for me... but then the music video was released and everything changed! Is not my fave Calvin Harris song in any way, but now I really enjoy this song, well done with that cute music video, Ellie and Calvin look good as a couple, better than Calvin and Rita Ora this is Calvin Harris last entry this year (and the year when he flopped the most on my countdown)
Example
"Perfect Replacement"
Album: The Evolution Of Man
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Example's latest album was a letdown... Not like Calvin Harris and "18 Months", no, but " The Evolution Of Man" is a mess compared to "Playing In The Shadows". The songs are not that iconic but then we have "Perfect Replacement"! Best single from that album, the production is crazy! And Example sounds amazing, plus it has some rap! A classic Example song Missing Top 10 by just one spot, but there is still one song left from Example in the Top 10
Julieta Venegas
"Te Vi"
Album: Los Momentos
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Top 10 starts with my latin queen Julieta Venegas! I love this song, the lyrics are beautiful, when you love someone but that person belongs to another person... just sad The music video is cute but something is missing... yes, Julieta Venegas She needs to appear on her music videos! Also I really want a song with accordion, that was characteristic of her music. This is the last entry from the latin queen this year
Daft Punk
"Get Lucky (Feat. Pharrell Williams)"
Album: Random Access Memories
Watch The Video Here
Why?: This would be my #1 of 2013 but... the damn music video is missing This song made history for me, it's the first song that debuts without a music video! "Get Lucky" is so amazing since the first moment I heard it. The 70's style makes this song unique and Pharrel sounds great. I've always loved Daft Punk's music but I wasn't ready for this amazing comeback!
Icona Pop
"I Love It (feat. Charli XCX)"
Album: This Is... Icona Pop
Watch The Video Here
Why?: When I first heard this song in 2012 I wasn't impressed, my fave song from them still was "Nights Like This". Thanks to the radio this song started to grow on me and... just look, now it's part of my top 10 from 2013 Really catchy lyrics, fun music video, I love It Song of the summer for me!
Robin Thicke
"Blurred Lines (Feat. T.I. & Pharrell)"
Album: Blurred Lines
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I first heard about Robin Thicke in 2009, when he worked with Leighton Meester. I decided to heard his old stuff but I didn't like it, it wasn't my style. This year when I saw this song was becoming a hit everywhere I decided to give it a try... and I was impressed! So catchy, amazing production and iconic music video The lyrics are bad, yes... but there are a lot of bad lyrics nowadays, who cares I really prefer this new Robin more than the old one... and again, Pharrel is in the top 10 lol
Ashlee Simpson
"Bat For a Heart"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I still can't believe my queen Simpson released a music video in 2013! The song is... good, but not perfect like her previous singles, that's the reason why this song is missing top 5 Too bad 2013 passed and we're still waiting for that 4th damn album! The music video is... good, cheap as hell, but Ashlee appears a lot and that's enough for me, she looks hot If this was released by any other pop girl it would flop on my countdown, but everything that queen Ashlee released is gold for me!
Naughty Boy
"La La La (Feat. Sam Smith)"
Album: Hotel Cabana
Watch The Video Here
Why?: First of all I want to say something: 2013 was an amazing year in music! and the proof is that any song from my Top 5 could have been the #1 song of 2013... the difference was their runs on my weekly countdown. Said this, we start the top 5 with Naughty Boy! When I first heard "La La La" I was like... "What is this? Is this the #1 song in the UK right now? Really?!" but at the 3rd listen I was already in love with the song! Those "LaLaLa's" are strange... but that's the epic thing about this song. The music video wow, really great! The production is great, and, as always, Sam Smith sounds amazing! One of the best songs from 2013 for sure
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
"Thrift Shop (Feat. Wanz)"
Album: The Heist
Watch The Video Here
Why?: One of my favorite rap songs of all time! Since the first moment I heard this song in October, 2012, I knew it would be a hit! This song was top 30 in my 2012's best of and here is again! Top 5 in 2013 The music is great, that catchy production is flawless and Macklemore is a genius! Rap about a thrift shop? Only he can do that! The music video is great, I can watch it over and over again lol. The best songs from Macklemore & Ryan by far! One of the best runs in the history of my weekly countdown with 29 weeks and peak #1 for 3 weeks, of course this song had to be Top 5!
Lorde
"Royals"
Album: Pure Heroine
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I love to visit the YTT section on ATRL, it helps me to discover a lot of amazing music... and the best discovery of 2013 was definitely Lorde! I was like... who's this girl? Let me listen to that "Royals" song on Youtube... I did it, and I was slayed! The perfect pop song! That production is flawless, Lorde proves that you don't need a lot of instruments to make something good. The lyrics are interesting, and of course her voice is unique! Like almost everyone couldn't believe she was only 16 I've seen a lot of people complaining about the music video, that is boring and blah.... but for some strange reason I really love the music video! Is my favorite from her by far, and actually, one of my favorite music videos from 2013! The TV without signal, those random guys, Lorde doing nothing like for 30 seconds... just epic This is the last single from a female singer so we can call "Royals" my favorite female single of 2013 Amazing work Lorde! If she remains this way, I might pay to change my name to LordeFan in the future
Example
"All The Wrong Places"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: And missing my #1 for a little here is Example! Are you surprised? Probably not, because I know 97% of ATRL doesn't know this song and 2% thinks it's Example's worst song to date but no, not for me! "All The Wrong Places" is the perfect first single for Example! Epic production, great lyrics and a cool music video. Almost a typical Example song, only one thing is missing, some rap I want to believe this is the reason why this song kinda flopped in the U.K., it's really good, better than any song released from his previous album "The Evolution Of Man". It's the song with more #1s on my weekly countdown this year, but is not #1 because there is a song with more longevity but that doesn't change the fact that Example is the king of my best of! I mean, he was #1 in 2010, #2 in 2011, #1 (with Calvin Harris) and #3 in 2012 and now #2 again! He has never left Top 3, and in 2014 I'm sure he still will be ruling my best of because he just finished his 5th album and I know I will love it, Example NEVER disappoints! (Take notes Calvin Harris ... and my next artist should take notes too ).
AND THE BEST SONG OF 2013 IS...
Avicii & Nicky Romero
"I Could Be The One"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Example - Calvin Harris - Calvin Harris with Example... those were the #1s from past best of's I was looking for a new #1 artist...and I found it! Avicii with the amazing collaboration of Nicky Romero! Best collaboration of the year, and one of my favorite collaboration of all time! Avicii and Nicky just made the perfect electronic song! Incredible production, simple but beautiful lyrics and that damn crazy music video! I can watch that music video over and over again, except for that (unexpected ) final I think this is my favorite music video of 2013! well... actually 2012, but the music video was released on December 24th so it counts for 2013 Everything looks amazing! but here comes some drag.... () Avicii, oh Avicii! While Calvin Harris was going to hell with his cheap productions and his horrible music videos you were raising, you were almost my 2nd favorite artist! Then you released that Taylor-Swift-Like song called "Wake Me Up" and I was like... Ok, your first bad song, you're forgiven then I listened to your full album and "Wake Me Up 2.0", I mean "Hey Brother", "Wake Me Up 3.0", I mean "Addicted To You"... WTF? Where is the Avicii from Levels, Silhouettes, or even "Seek Bromance"? So disappointed with you. Nicky Romero... he's great maybe you'll be the Avicii substitute Well... I'm ok lol Still I want to thank Avicii and Nicky for this amazing song! My most played song on my last.fm in 2013 with almost 1,600 plays, my ringtone all this year, the most played song on my iPod... of course "I Could Be The One" is the best song of 2013!

This is my last year of school, the next year I'll start my social service and practices at the hospital so I don't know if I'm going to be able to make a "Best Of 2014"
If this is my last Best Of then I really want to thank every person that commented my best of's in the past 4 years. It has been a wonderful time, I have made many incredible friends on here, and I've found amazing music!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING GUYS
I want to say goodbye with my first #1 (in 2010) and one of my favorite songs of all time
If I can make a "Best Of 2014" (that I really hope so) then see you in one year
The first post is now updated with all the lists and the links of all the recaps
It's low because I played this song more on December of 2012 than this year, but still, Rihanna deserves a spot on here. One song left from Rihanna.
. 3 songs from Macklemore & Ryan left.
) is coming!
. 2 songs from Lorde left.
. "Good 4 It" is a nice song with a great beat a cute lyrics, love this one! This is Wallpaper's last entry.
). Paris looked so hot in the music video and the credit goes for Afrojack too!
It's a good song, but I can't stand it anymore lol. This is their only and last entry this year 
but she was a nice surprise! Loved "Replay" since the first time I heard that song. So catchy and very different from the typical pop-rock song that almost all the Disney girls release.
What the hell he was thinking? Avicii was one of my favorite artists last year... he was my "new" Calvin Harris (you all know that Calvin disappointed me in 2011-2012) but now... I don't know anymore. Country music sucks.... who told him it was going to sound good in an electronic song? "Wake Me Up" is not the worst song of the year of course, but it's **** compared to Avicii's old work, I really miss the "Levels" days. First Calvin Harris... now Avicii... like Flame Beat Z000 said my faves really love to change their music and disappoint me 
There are 2 Avicii songs left (and not, none of them is "Wake Me Up" 2.0, I mean, "Hey Brother").
There is still one song left from them 
This one is amazing, I really love the girl's part and of course Macklemore's rap! The music video is great, just like every other music video from them. There are still 2 songs left from Macklemore & Ryan 
But wow, they impressed me with "Thank You"! Love the song, and the music video is really good too. I love the rapper + singer combination. "God Only Knows" is my new jam, they're going to appear on my 2014's list, I'm sure 
Once again, as usual since 2011, Calvin Harris disappoints me 
this is Calvin Harris last entry this year (and the year when he flopped the most on my countdown) 
She needs to appear on her music videos! Also I really want a song with accordion, that was characteristic of her music. This is the last entry from the latin queen this year 
... and my next artist should take notes too 
Well... I'm ok lol Still I want to thank Avicii and Nicky for this amazing song! My most played song on my last.fm in 2013 with almost 1,600 plays, my ringtone all this year, the most played song on my iPod... of course "I Could Be The One" is the best song of 2013! 
All the best in whatever you're gonna be doing!
