My Top 20 tunes of 2014

What a year for music in 2014!!! We have seen an explosion in British talent and amazing success for the Brits across the globe!

There has been an array of music in the charts with numerous newbies reaching numero uno!

This year streaming music was added to the official top 40 chart in the UK. But that chart means nothing right now. The chart to take note, of course, is this one!

This list comprises my top 20 songs of 2014, some in which many of you may have forgotten about!

 20. Pitbull - Timber (Ft. Ke$ha) 

Now this kicked off 2014 and was number one in the first week. It is a huge guilty pleasure of mine but gotta love a bit of farmhouse!

 

19. Bastille - Torn Apart

Now Bastille have been about all year but most of their songs came out on top last year. This one is a new song however for the "Other Peoples Heartach Part III mixtape. Its one of my favourites but there are some proper bangers on there, check it out; its only recently been released!! 

18. Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj - Bang Bang

A guilty pleasure now, its this huge amalgamation of pop! I really enjoyed the performance on this years VMAs!

17. Saint Motel - My Type

Now I heard this played a few times on the radio and really liked it. I ended up loosing the song after a few months not having a clue where to find it but luckily one day it popped back in my life so I grabbed hold of it and here it is! Bring on the Brass!

16. Ed Sheeran - Don't

Now what a year Ed Sheeran has had, releasing his second album "x" has seen him at the top of the charts for much of the year. For me I think I like this album more than the last! My favourite however, is probably this one!

15. Take That - These Days

Another guilty pleasure now is the first single from Take That's New Album, there is just something about this song which is catchy and makes you feel happy!

 14. Mr Probz - Waves [Robin Schulz Remix]

Now this one takes me back to summertime! A proper summer chill out tune! Reminds of times by the pool and in the sun!

 13. One Republic - Love Runs Out

Now this one is a great song! The drums at the start of the record set a good pace and beat through the song and the vocals are great!

12. Tiesto - Red Lights / Wasted

Now here I actually have two songs at 13, but they are pretty similar and by Tiesto. I couldn't decide which was better so here are both! Red lights and wasted!

11. MKTO - Classic

Now here is a song that was massive in America and briefly breached out over here reaching the Top 20. Another feel good pop song but one of the main reasons I like it soooo much is LOST star Malcolm Kelly (WAAAAALT) makes up part of the duo.

10. Jess Glynne - Right Here

Now this song is best listened to LOUD! Just listen to that bass. Another summer hit!

9. Arctic Monkeys - Why'd you only call me when you're high?

This feels like it was out ages ago! Definitely from my favourite album of the year, AM this was one of the best! 

8. Mark Ronson - Uptown Funk (Ft. Bruno Mars)

 Now the most recent song on the list is this one! I did hear this song before a certain X factor contestant wowed the judges a few weeks ago! The popularity surrounding the song and performance meant its release was brought forward from January to now! First time I heard it I loved it, now its just amazing! You cant help but move! Loving the Brass

7. Foster The People - Best Friend

 This tune is another one to listen to loud! Bit of a creepy video but yes here is the brass again!

6. Arctic Monkeys - Snap Out Of It

 Top five now its getting serious!!
Here is the second one from AM! This one is my favourite from the album and I have listened to it over and over again many times!

5. Lower Than Atlantis - Emily

 Now I haven't heard much of LTA but this song is making me a huge fan!

4. Duke Dumont - I Got U (Ft. Jax Jones)

 The first few seconds of the song are absolute bliss. Just close your eyes and imagine yourself on a tropical beach! Or you could watch the video which shows off some amazing places around the globe! Many of which I have actually been too! The video is pretty hilarious too! This was the song of the summer!

   

3. Klaxons - There is no other time
Luckily for me I actually got to see these guys live this year which was absolutely fantastic!
This song was the best off their album!!

2. Coldplay - A Sky Full Of Stars

 This year saw a new album from Coldplay, a different more original sound from the band with some other good songs such as Magic. I have to admit it wasn't my favourite album but there are some really good songs on there. Including this one, produced by Avicii. A good dance hit, sing a long and such an uplifting song! I loved this song over summer and have listened to it so many times coming into London! Definitely my soundtrack of 2014.

1. Clean Bandit - Rather Be (Ft. Jess Glynne)

 This is definitely the song of the year! Its been about all year! I loved it when it was released, got a little bored of it. But once it was played out during a certain high street store commercial it became my favourite tune again. Ft. vocals from Jess Glynne again another song best heard loud! 

Another good year of tunes!
