Billboard's 2014 Year-End Hot 100 is out!

[Sigma: Current SRW Champ!]

No surprises for the top 5, but looking at the whole list and it leads me to believe this was yet another terrible year for Billboard. A lot of these songs were carried over from 2013 and RAdioactive was carried over from 2012. There's the link to the full list. I hope you can find some songs that you liked. I will say this, populating my Top 10 Worst Songs of 2014 is going to be really easy.

Surprised Bey wasn't in the top ten after all the hype around her current album.

[Digital Witness]

I think I might know 5 of those songs.

I am clearly not the hot 100's demographic.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I can find quite a bit, actually. It's very hard for me to get snooty about pop music.

In fact I'd say this year had a big jump in quality, both mainstream and indie wise.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

I only have 3 of those songs on my iPod (Let it Go, Demons, and Radioactive). I'm really out of touch.

[fw91]

Yuck...... Don't have any of those on my ipod. Heck the only songs I have from 2014 are the Songs from Sonic Highways

[A Platypus Rave]

There are some really terrible songs on this list.

Also a lot of 2013 hold overs... but my friend who tends to watch the charts told me it's been a pretty slow year all around for Pop music.

[Fundertaker]

I know a few of the songs but only like like... one of them (Pompeii by Bastille) so... yeah, also not the target of this

[Deleted]

I know a lot of those songs thanks to Todd in the Shadows. Also thanks to him, I know a lot of those songs are awful.

As somebody who also follows the charts, this is very true. I counted 11 songs that are on this year's list that were on last years list: Counting Stars, Let Her Go, Royals, Wake Me Up!, Demons, Wrecking Ball, Roar, Hold on We're Going Home, Radioactive, Brave, Blurred Lines. That's the same as last year, but it's not like 2013 is regarded as a great year for pop music either. And like Sigma said, a lot of these feel like they peaked at the end of 2013, or early 2014 at best.


That being said, I don't really hate a ton of stuff on this list. Most of it is just meh at best. But there is still some good stuff on the list.

With "Radioactive" I'd imagine it was thanks to a huge surge after the Grammys. It would have probably made the list without the Grammys, but with that performance, it put it higher on the list.

And damn you NFL, why isn't Imagine Dragons the Halftime Show for the Super Bowl? Get them to do Mania, Vince.

[Fauxnaki]

i f***ing hate "happy" hearing that at work 3-4 times a day NO IM NOT f***ING HAPPY PHARELL YOU SMILEY LITTLE RUNT

[Cela]

I don't know who requests all these songs, but I dislike them.

She should have sat at another table.

I knew one, because Ron Jeremy covered it.

That Ron Jeremy, yeah, and if you haven't seen it, you totally should.
