Wake Me Up, The Monster and Part II (On the Run) are all songs that got my attention after a couple of listens.
Though I am not a huge fan of ***Flawless, Chimamanda's speech is stunning indeed!

I hated On Sight and Wake Me Up.
I love ***Flawless and PLG is probably my fave song of the year. So low

Hey Willy!
I love SO many of those songs.
Wild For The Night, Timber, The Monster, Wake Me Up, Used To, Love Me, Oceans, Give It To You (so underrated), Love More, I Wanna Be With You, Bad, Right There, On Sight... All were my favorite at one point or another this year.
Only missteps for me are JT and Milf (though I LOVE Hall Of Fame, actually).

70. 2 CHAINZ F/ DRAKE & LIL WAYNE - I Do It
This track is absolutely insane in every way possible. Diplo's co-production shines so hard on this track, that when you hear it all you can to do is just weep. Drake & Wayne's verses are both top-notch, as they both go toe-to-toe with each other at high-paced speeds. Overall, it's just an excellent track that would've been consumed hard by Urban if released as a single.
69. PUSHA T F/ CHRIS BROWN - Sweet Serenade
Sweet Serenade was the third single released from the Hip-Hop icon's debut album My Name Is My Name and the song is kinda magical. It's a smooth Hip-Hop/R&B track that will have you doing your two-step as soon as you listen to it. Chris' hook is top-notch (as usual), and Pusha's verses are absolutely fire, but that's expected. It's crazy how long it took Pusha to release his debut album, but I can guarantee that a Grammy nomination for the 2015 show is in his future.
68. JAY Z F/ RICK ROSS - ****withmeyouknowigotit
This song is an album track on Jay's Magna Carta Holy Grail, and Rick Ross is the star on the track. The moment I heard I just landed in Europe *****, shopping bags I'm a tourist ***** I just knew Ross was such a GOAT in general. But seriously, Ross' hook makes the song, and as per usual, Jay falls flat to it and the production of the track itself. Besides that, it's still a pretty hard track that goes off in the car.
67. JAY Z - Tom Ford
Another damn Jay Z track just happened to make my list. Tom Ford is absolutely bananas and I realized that as soon as I heard the album through the app with my brother's Samsung phone. This is one of the rare instances from this album where Jay rides & controls the beat to make it his own. His use of M.I.A.'s flow from Bad Girls also adds a certain charm to the entire thing. The hook is Jay's response to the mainstream discovery of the drug "molly" that took over 2013. I don't pop molly's I rock TOM FORD is genius in it self. Overall, Mr. Carter did well with Tom Ford.
66. J. COLE F/ MIGUEL - POWER TRIP
Power Trip was a monster. An absolute monster that literally killed everything in its sight. There was not one instance where you couldn't put on an Urban or Rhythmic station and not hear this damn song playing over and over again. The track is amazing though, and Jermaine's production skill shines hard throughout the track. Not to mention, Miguel's well-known hook constantly being in your ear & in your thoughts. The track speaks for itself. That's all that needs to be said.
65. LADY GAGA F/ R. KELLY - Do What U Want
Released as the second official single from ARTPOP, Do What U Want is a breath of fresh air. I really don't have much to say about this song, or the controversy that subconsciously surrounds it now that R. Kelly's past is returning to the mainstream media, so I'll just say it's a fantastic ass song and one of the best from the album.
64. ROBIN THICKE F/ T.I. & PHARRELL
What really is there for me to say about this song? It's the biggest radio hit in history and the biggest song of 2013. You know you heard Blurred Lines on every station, on every format, every single time you listened to the radio. You know you constantly saw it at #1 on iTunes every time you checked the charts. It was just a MONSTER. It sounds like Marvin Gaye's Got to Give It Up, but who cares? It was still a fresh song and honestly I'm happy for the success that Robin received. Kudos to Pharrell for the production as well.
63. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - Mirrors
Mirrors was probably the only song on The 20/20 Experience that showed elements of Justin's past albums. It's an absolutely amazing Pop song that stands at eight minutes long, and with that, it doesn't even drag on with that long of a duration. It's just top-notch quality Pop and I'm happy it was such a success for Timberlake. He did well with this one.
62. BRUNO MARS - Treasure
I can honestly tell you I did not care at all for this track until I kept hearing it in that damn American Eagle commercial. I'm happy though, because this is an excellent nod to disco and pretty solid track overall. When I listen to it, I imagine myself in a NYC night club in 1977 dancing my life away after snorting cocaine. It's just a pretty magical song.
61. DRAKE - Started from the Bottom
Started from the Bottom was the first song released from Drake's Nothing Was the Same, and the song was a bit different from the ordinary Aubrey track. Drake's rapping style and sound is different, as is Mike Zombie's production. The song produced many Internet memes as well, but it's Drake, so that's expected. It's just top-notch and I thoroughly enjoy the track.
