Come one, come all and welcome to Josh's Best of 2013!
Sorry for the crappy banner. Been very busy
![](http://imageshack.com/a/img585/6744/uu8f.jpg) | 80. Jason DeRulo - The Other Side
(WEEKLY: 2 Weeks/Peak:2@18) [June 29-July 6 | 18-18]
(DAILY: ---/---)
Jason's last entry in my yearend. There's nothing much special about this song but it's just one you can't stop jamming to once you start getting hooked. A great way to start a new era which looks to be his best yet. (3 of 3) |

(WEEKLY: 4 Weeks/Peak:13) [March 16-April 6 | 16-13-16-18]
(DAILY: ---/Peak:12)
Third of five songs in my going home playlist to chart in this year's yearend. I thought this was Mariah's weakest song when I first heard it but it took some time to actually get hooked. Plus it feels really great to listen to in nostalgic times. (2 of 2) |
![](http://imageshack.com/a/img823/1203/2pr0.jpg) | 78. Marianas Trench - Stutter
(WEEKLY: 10 Weeks/Peak:2@03) [January 19-March 23 | 12-3-3-5-5-9-9-9-11-19] | (DAILY: 38 Days/Peak:02) [January 17-March 11 | 7-5-4-3-3-2-5-4-3-3-4-3-4-5-6-6-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-9-8-9-8-9-9-9-10-10-10-9-10-9-10]
Another catchy song from a great band. I remember when I used to get so addicted to this, I even had my friends hooked to it. It never really got old but I realized that it wasn't HOF material which is why it's only this low despite the amazing stats. (This ranked #31 solely basing on chart run) (2 of 2) |
![](http://imageshack.com/a/img41/4300/vkx9.jpg) | 77. Taylor Swift - Sweeter Than Fiction
(WEEKLY: 6 Weeks/Peak:04) [October 26 (still charting) | 15-5-5-4-5-10] | (DAILY: 25 Days/Peak:3@03) [November 1 (still charting) | 10-7-6-5-4-4-6-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-3-3-4-3-4-5-6-NR-10-10-9-10]
This is probably the shortest time I've been addicted to a Taylor Swift single and the only one which got old way too fast. Although the song is quite cute and all, it is still pretty meh. It is Taylor's weakest single to date. (2 of 8) |
![](http://imageshack.com/a/img802/5801/lu2n.jpg) | 76. The Vamps - Can We Dance
(WEEKLY: 5 Weeks/Peak:09) [September 28-October 26 | 20-11-10-9-16]
(DAILY: 11 Days/Peak:08) [October 2-18 | 10-10-10-NRx4-10-9-9-8-9-9-9-9]
First was 5 Seconds Of Summer, then came this band. I've always had soft spots for these kinds of bands and The Vamps came to be no different. They are one of my favorite new artists this year and this song is an underrated gem. I mean who can't get hooked to that chorus? (1 of 1) |
![](http://imageshack.com/a/img440/8617/iwgn.jpg) | 75. Bruno Mars - Gorilla
(WEEKLY: 10 Weeks/Peak:09) [September 7-November 9 | 11-12-9-15-16-18-12-10-19-18]
(8 Days/Peak:07) [September 16-October 25 | 9-9-7-8-10-NRx22-9-9-9]
I've loved this Bruno song ever since it was just an album track and loved it still when it rightfully got released (still waiting for Natalie to be released and this era would be flawless). This is an obvious exception to my own rule where songwriting > delivery, because this song is lyrically disgusting, but the beats and the song itself is brilliant. And that video is a guilty pleasure. (2 of 4) |
![](http://imageshack.com/a/img5/396/mub3.jpg) | 74. Gavin DeGraw - Best I Ever Had
(WEEKLY: 6 Weeks/Peak:05) [November 2 (still charting)| 12-10-7-5-9-13]
(DAILY: 17 Days/Peak:3@05) [November 7-29 | 8-7-8-8-6-7-6-6-6-5-5-5-6-9-9-10-10]
Not Over You was his only song that I really liked, until this one. I can't explain why I like this song a lot (like most if not all of the songs in here, segue: sorry for the crappy explanations) but I just do. It is extremely catchy and really fun to listen and sing along to. (1 of 1) |
![](http://imageshack.com/a/img542/9321/h7py.jpg) | 73. Ariana Grande - Baby I
(WEEKLY: 9 Weeks/Peak:2@11) [September 7-November 2 | 16-11-12-13-18-13-11-14-13]
(DAILY: 5 Days/Peak:5@10) [September 11-October 29 | 10-NRx24-10-10-NRx6-10-10]
The lyrics of this song are repetitive, but like Anything Could Happen, I actually like the fact that it is repetitive because it makes the song catchier. But although Ariana is one of my favorite artists this year, this is still the song that struggled the most to enter my daily countdown probably because it got released in the time when AINE was the only song that mattered. (3 of 5) |
![](http://imageshack.com/a/img198/871/67s9.jpg) | 72. Icona Pop - I Love It (feat. Charli XCX)
(WEEKLY: 2 Weeks/Peak:16) [March 30-April 6 | 18-16]
(DAILY: ---/Peak:14)
This is probably the catchiest set. I've said the word catchy in almost every song and then there comes this one, another catchy one. This song flopped in my c/d but is still one of the most addictive songs of 2013. (1 of 1 for both) |
![](http://imageshack.com/a/img594/9021/joqo.jpg) | 71. Labrinth - Beneath Your Beautiful (feat. Emeli Sande)
(WEEKLY: 3 Weeks/Peak:13) [March 23-April 6 | 14-13-15]
(DAILY: ---/Peak:2@11)
I've seen in other best of lists that this hurt the ears of gramamar nazis. Well, it didn't for me. This is a heartfelt ballad with a nice message and though I had a hard time understanding what is meant by the title, it didn't stop me from recognizing the hidden beauty in this song. (1 of 1 for Labrinth, 3 of 4 for Emeli) |
