AcclaimedMusic is basically a compilation of critic's lists (year-end, all time, decade) just like Metacritic is a compilation of reviews. It's not that serious.
The 2014 list hasn't been updated yet, Two Weeks by FKA twigs and SIO/BS by Taylor may enter the top 20.
I think that most of those songs are there just because they were successful. Crazy in Love, Video Games, Paper Planes, Respect and Nothing Compares 2 U deserve it... the rest nah.
Crazy In Love is literally one of the best songs EVER created. The best debut by a pop girl! It being #4 on such a list, and behind such fantastic songs is telling.

Into the Groove? LAP? I Feel Love? Strange Fruit? Toxic?

Aren't most songs reviewed long before their chart runs are complete with the exception of the year end/decade/all time compilations?
Billie Holiday's name is misspelled in the OP, btw. Dionne Warwick as well.
really iconic even though it's so repetitive and vocally flat
