The Top Ten Best Hit Songs of 2014
2014's worst music was an enigma of stupidity and cringe that I don't think many years have been able to top. 2014's best music, though... we've got something special here. I really think this list is one of my best. There are so many great songs here that resonated with me, and I'm excited to share them with you all.
I'm not going to rant long to start. I have nothing more to say other than what I've already said. Eligibility rules are the same as they were for the worst list. A song must be in the Top 40 in 2014 to be eligible to make this list.
Without further ado, I'm proud to present...
You know who I miss? Avicii. That guy had so much talent and it was never fully realized. It's hard to believe it's been 9 years since he passed. It still feels like yesterday. I was only 12 when it happened. Time only makes the loss more hurtful, and listening to this? Just as much.
I was slightly familiar with bluegrass vocalist Dan Tyminski from his song "Man of Constant Sorrow", but I somehow failed to work out that he was the same guy who did vocals on this song. Now that I know, it makes so much more sense. Working with someone like Dan on a song like this is the exact kind of thing Avicii would do. Dan has the type of vocals that can make a song's message come through hard, and "Hey Brother" succeeds at exactly that.
This song is a man's call to his brother and sister that he would do anything for them, no matter the cost. Having two older brothers and a little brother, I feel that so much. There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for them. Dan also answers the doubts as to specific scenarios. "What if I'm far from home? Oh brother, I will hear your call. What if I lose it all? Oh sister I will help you out" is the kind of lyric that continues to hit hard to this day.
There's also the fact that the production on this song is impeccable. Avicii uses those trumpets to their maximum potential and makes a drop that complements the message exceptionally. That opening guitar immediately draws you in and both Dan and Avicii make wonderful use of that intro. There's also a bit of acoustic guitar in the verses where you can hear the strumming, which is always cool. Then, the drums build up to the chorus and things go from there. Overall, the sound just fits perfectly with what Avicii is going for here.
When I think of the type of music Avicii made, I think of this. I think this perfectly encapsulates everything that he did well. While I don't think its near the best hit song of 2014, I do think it is special in a lot of ways. Dan Tyminski and Avicii brought out the best in each other on this song. That's for sure.
2014 was a pretty good year for dance music. #9 here isn't traditional dance music, but it's pop with a nice mix of that in here. I knew I really liked this song, but it had been a long time since I had heard it when I started preparing for this list. I'm really dragging out this introduction because I don't have much to say, but I will say it is very weird to me that the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars had a hit in 2014.
"La La La" is about using the "la la I can't hear you" thing kids used to do, but in such a clever way that it somehow works. There's a sense of maturity in realizing that you can't argue with someone while also conceding that you are, in fact, acting like a kid, like Sam does here. The main premise is essentially trying to drown out the noise of people who don't have anything good to say. As the saying goes, "if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all."
There's also the nice, bouncy drums that elevate this track to a whole different level. It starts with that piano pattern with some bass and transition effects kicking in, plus the "la la la la"s to start it. When Sam comes in, everything suddenly becomes more restrained with a drum beat starting in, and it sounds great. It's such a great combination of voice and sound that makes me want to see these two work again in the future, even though it'll probably never happen. He hasn't had a hit in years, and his last released single didn't hit any US charts. It's such a shame, too. I think there was room for Naughty Boy's production in pop music. It works here. Why wouldn't it have worked more?

Why wouldn't it have worked more?
The music video for this is also very interesting. It is based on South American folklore, with the Ekeko (the god of abundance and prosperity in Bolivian cultures) and El Tio (the Lord of the Underworld) both being prominently featured. It's a cool homage to cultures that not a lot of people know about, and it's cool to see it being used prominently in a hit of this size. Man, I wish we had more songs like this.
This spot was originally going to go to "Don't" by Ed Sheeran. While I still think the song is good, the controversies around Ed and the real-life events surrounding the song make me think it's a little too dated to be here. You know what song isn't dated at all, though? The song with such a universal reach that even country singers are sampling it. The song that defined an entire generation's... lifestyle.
I made a 2014 worst list back in like 2022, and this was a dishonorable mention. You give me 4 years to think about it, though? It's one of the best rap songs of the decade. It's pure, unadulterated fun. It's like Fetty Wap but pre-2015. It's so infectious. So, the question is... why did I hate this? If I'm calling it so great now, why did I think it was awful before? What was so wrong with it that I had called it one of the worst songs of 2014?
Well, there's a simple answer to that. I hadn't familiarized myself with Young Thug before I had listened to it with an open mind. Originally, hearing his voice turned me off of it, but now it invites me in and exudes reflection. The song in its entirety is an infectious ode to the "lifestyle". The friends you're willing to die for and protect. The friends you've lost along the way. The things you've had to do to get there. There's a dark undertone to it, but it's then overcome by that infectious hook and you can't help but sing along.

There's a dark undertone to it, but it's then overcome by that infectious hook and you can't help but sing along.
A lot of it has to do with that crisp production, too. This is one of the best beats of the year for the simple fact that it doesn't make the simple mistakes. It goes along with the lyrics well, and has chords that balance emotional control and upbeat resonance easily. Funnily, the guy who produced this (London on da Track) is the same guy who produced songs like "Positions" by Ariana Grande and "Swervin" by A Boogie wit da Hoodie. A lot of variety, this guy has.
Now, why did I say something about country singers sampling this song? That would be the infamous Morgan Wallen, who took this song's hook on his song "180 (Lifestyle)" which is about a girl from the city who becomes a country girl because she's dating him. While that's an obviously worse premise and idea, I can't say that it did not help me like this song more. Once it did, I couldn't help but notice the redundancy of a country one when the original is already perfect as it is.
2025 brought us one of the strangest songs in recent memory, that being "Actually Romantic" by Taylor Swift. It was a diss track aimed at Charli XCX after her song "Sympathy Is A Knife" made it clear that Charli was uncomfortable being around Taylor. The issue with this is that "Actually Romantic" failed so badly at being a diss that it wrapped back around into being unintentionally hilarious. It didn't help Taylor's failure that Charli has been making much better music than her for over a decade.
I hadn't listened to this one in a long time before making this list. When I finally did, it unlocked memories I didn't even know I had. I'm glad, too, because this song is amazing. It's one of the best pop songs of the 2010s, and it showed Charli's potential as both a musician and a pop star. While she didn't necessarily hit the heights this did again until Brat in 2024, I'd argue that this was better than anything off of that album. I just straight up love this song.
The best part of this is Charli's vocal delivery mixed with the production. Not each individual part, but how they are mixed together. Charli sings directly with the instrumental, creating something truly special. I also love the thumping synth bass that goes throughout the song. A song having that gives it an edge that I love. Think a "Never Really Over" by Katy Perry or "New Romantics" by Taylor Swift. Everything about this works on a fundamental level. Charli's voice is as pleasing to the ears as ever, and the instrumental amplifies that to an extreme.
It also helps that this is a nice love song that utilizes deep, artistic imagery while also leaving room for simplicity. The verses show this artistic side, with lyrics like "you're picture-perfect blue, sunbathing on the moon" and "you're the glitter in the darkness of my word" showing how this guy makes Charli feel, while the chorus just speaks for itself. "Boom, clap, sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and" is the catchiest lyric in the song despite being one of the simplest I've ever heard, and that seems 100% intentionally. It's designed to catch your ears, and it works so easily. It's just wonderful to listen to and you can feel the love she has from this person coming out of your speakers.
One thing I thought was funny was that she performed this with Taylor Swift during the 1989 World Tour, and it makes sense. The feud hadn't happened yet. Things change over time. It's funny to look back and see things like this that were perfectly normal during the era, but would be funny now. All I know is that this song would be a big hit today, just like it was then.
There are very few things like going outside and looking at a night sky. When you see those stars shining, glowing in the vast nothingness that is outer space, you know you're blessed to be able to see them. There's a beauty in looking out there, and you can find that in music, too. Sometimes, a song doesn't have to be close to you to be beautiful. Sometimes, it just is.
I don't know if I've said this on here, but Coldplay is one of my favorite bands of all time. I know a lot of people see them as the "boring British pop group that claims to be rock", but that's not what they are to me. They're the group that has made some of my favorite songs of all time. There's the obvious one in "Viva la Vida", other songs like "Clocks", "Yellow", and "Fix You". I also like a lot of their lesser known stuff, like "Orphans" and "Flags". While I wouldn't say that "A Sky Full Of Stars" is my favorite of these, I would say that it is an amazing song in general. In the context of 2014's pop music, it's one of the best.
Working with Avicii brought out the best in Coldplay. His production on here is awesome, beginning with a nice piano loop that is surprisingly easy to play. I've been playing this song for years now, and it's a fun one to try and mash up with other songs. Some examples of that I've done include "Mystical Magical" by Benson Boone and "Last Night" by Morgan Wallen mashed up with this instrumental. Unsurprisingly, it makes both of those songs way, way better. I've also heard it mixed with "Congratulations" by Post Malone and "We Found Love" by Rihanna, amongst others. The atmospheric feel of it works well with almost anything, and that especially makes sense with Chris Martin's voice.
There's almost nothing I can really delve into with the lyrics. This song isn't a lyrical song, other than the lines Chris Martin still delivers excellently. Martin sings about how this girl is "a sky full of stars" because she "lights up the path. Just like the stars outside are beautiful, she is too. It's a nice sentiment that really works well for a love song, especially paired with Avicii's beautiful production.
As I said earlier, I miss Avicii. I think he could have been the greatest EDM artist of our day. I hope his family is at peace now. It's devastating that it's been almost a decade. The best thing we can do is honor his legacy by keeping his work alive. The same goes for any artist like him. We can't forget those behind us because, in a sky full of stars, we can still see them in this world.
Pop music is an art form. At its best, it can be something special. The biggest potential comes with collaborations. When you bring two of the biggest artists of the century so far, that has the potential to be amazing. With this entry, that was exactly what happened. Also, if I had a nickel for the amount of people on this song with a 7-letter, 1-word stage name, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lo-
It's funny because I somehow had not heard this song in its entirety before writing this list. Reminder that 2014 was when I was 9 years old and I had not developed a taste for pop music yet. Granted, I should've been able to tell that this was amazing even from the little I did hear of it. I keep trying not to make that mistake but it keeps on not working, so I'll just have to call it as I see it. With this song, I see two of the best artists of the 2000s and 2010s working together to create a Latin-themed pop rock song that works wonderfully.
These two both have very distinctive voices, which work very well together and force you to pay attention. I especially like the parts where they're both singing together. Shakira's accent and Rihanna's bold attitude complement each other nicely. The up-tempo production immediately draws you in and creates an awesome atmosphere. The song works with some nice electric guitars and Latin-esque production, being both catchy and culturally cool at the same time. I also really love the build-up that is the chorus, with everything going to its peak right there when Shakira sings it for the first time, and again when Rihanna sings hers.
Lyrically, the song is about how much each artist loves their boyfriend so much that they'd be willing to do crazy things to be with them. Both of them say that they'd "rob and kill" to stay with their significant other. It's a strange premise for a song, but how tense and loud everything gets in the chorus really amplifies that concept and gives it the juice it needs to work correctly. Even though they probably should let go, they keep giving in passionately.
With Rihanna having not made an album in a long time, I hope we can still get something from her in the future. If she chooses not to, though, that's all well and good. She's made so much good music that we'll continue to remember. Shakira's still doing her thing, and her song "Dai Dai" has been a hit lately off the back of the World Cup, which seems to be the perfect venue for her to showcase her talents considering the success of "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" back in the day. I hope she keeps doing that. It's worked wonders.
In the time I've been writing this, I've been working my first real job out of college. No, I don't count that weird insurance thing that happened in July. That was a trainwreck. Anyways, it's been interesting. It's not necessarily been what I dreamed of as a kid, but it's been a nice, steady job that gives me something to earn a living off of. I like the people I work with, I like the things I'm doing, but there's a part of me that's going to miss being a student. That'll always be the case, I suppose. The thing is, I know there's going to be negatives throughout the way. That's what living in the real world is, right, Hayley?
I mean, this was always going to be here. I'm a sucker for this type of pop-punk, and Hayley Williams is one of the best vocalists in the genre. Of course I'm going to love Paramore. "Ain't It Fun" is definitely one of their bests. It's a fun song to listen to. I remember jamming to this in 2023 and it being one of my most listened to songs of that year on a CD I had playing in my car almost every day. That's for good reason. It's a heavily replayable type of song that you really don't see too often. A great song is great, but you can get sick of it. I don't think it's possible to get sick of this.
It's hard for me to name a favorite thing about this song because it's all so great. Hayley's voice complements the guitars perfectly, and the drumming accentuates both of those without fail. It's a very catchy tune that fits perfectly in pop music while also working well as its own thing. What highlights it all, though, is that marimba. It immediately gives it a style that's hard to not notice. That creates a bouncy type of style that is absolutely perfect.
Hayley Williams sings like she's the most sarcastic human being in the world on this. She is personally attacking this spoiled brat and making it clear that he's not going to like it when he gets out on his own in the "real world". That's the kind of message that is clear and obvious. When you consider that the song ends with the line "don't go cryin to your mama, 'cause you're on your own in the real world", I can't imagine very many people didn't get what the song was saying from the very beginning.
Also, this song is 5 minutes long. It does not at all feel like it's 5 minutes long. It feels more like 2 because of how much fun I have listening to it. How on Earth did Paramore manage that? There are very few songs I can think of that does that. I don't know what they could've possibly added that would make this even more perfect. The fact that it's only at #4 is a testament to the excellence of the best pop music of 2014, including...
Okay, you guys are going to have to bear with me on this one. This is probably the single weirdest entry I've ever made on one of these lists. Are you ready? Alright.
When you have qualifications, some things are going to barely squeak through. The benchmark to make this list was hitting the Top 40 at any point throughout 2014. So, imagine my surprise, when, at #39 on the Hot 100 during the week of August 2nd, 2014, was a song that I was very familiar with. I was surprised that it had even charted at all, to be honest. The more I thought about it, though, the more it made sense. I had to put this song on the list. I'd be lying to myself if I didn't put it here, so here you go.
#3.
Congratulations to Robin Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell Williams, by the way. Their song will always be sketched into my brain as "the song that Weird Al made good" instead of "the song that killed both Robin Thicke's career and marriage". Oh, wait, no, it's still the latter thing. Yeah, I'm going to have to talk about "Blurred Lines" at some point, but let's talk about it's much, much better twin brother, "Word Crimes".
You're probably wondering why this song is on the list. You don't need to wonder. Just listen to it. It's "Word Crimes" by Weird Al. It's self-evident why this song is on the list. It's a clever parody of the fact that people are bad at grammar. It's the kind of song that you remember every time you hear it. The lyric video is burned into my brain as one of the most astonishing things I remember hearing as a kid. The nostalgia is always going to be there for me. I mean, I have no idea how to analyze this in terms of the other songs on this list. It's so outside the realm of everything else that it probably should be on its own list.

What's really impressive is just how Weird Al is able to make it all put together and still have original ideas throughout. He starts off by talking about educating you, but eventually rambles to the point that he's just insulting people with bad grammar, and it's hilarious. The lyric video features some awesome graphics that feature references to different pop culture aspects, including the big red text from the original "Blurred Lines" video. Dictionary backgrounds, diplomas, even chalkboards. This video has everything.
I haven't even gotten to the best part of the song... the rap verse. Weird Al has already proven that he is an excellent rapper. "White and Nerdy" is a legitimately impressive performance. This is just as impressive. He moves along with the flow perfectly, which makes me wonder why Thicke, T.I., and Pharrell even bothered in the first place. Just give the beat to Al and let him do his thing. There's so many cool moments that make you wonder how Yankovic even thinks of these things. What's even better is that this is an example of a parody song that can also be used to help students learn. It helped me when I was in middle school. I'm sure it's helped a lot more. That's special, just like the song itself.
There are very few songs that I would call technically perfect. What I mean by that is that the song does not have any evident flaw that would push it back. Every single thing about it works for what it does, and then some. My 2nd favorite hit of 2014 fits into this category perfectly. There's nothing about it that is fundamentally wrong. It all fits perfectly together to form a song that is technically flawless. That song being...
Within the scope of popular music, "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit and Jess Glynne is something special. It's a song that bypasses the idea of flaws in general and decides that it just wants to be perfect. That it is. There isn't a single thing about this song that stands out as even mediocre. From Jess Glynne's vocal performance to the orchestral-EDM combination of Clean Bandit, "Rather Be" is an engaging, enjoyable listen from start to finish. While I wouldn't say it goes above and beyond perfect to be generational, I would say that it is a song that doesn't need to be generational. Songs like this are just as rare.
The instrumental composition of "Rather Be" features a lot of unique elements that work together to construct something interesting. The violins work together with the synth bass and electronic drums perfectly to form a nice background behind Jess Glynne's voice. The best part of the instrumental, though, is those pianos. I'm a sucker for pianos with a kick to them, and these have a kick so hard it'd impress Cam Little. It builds in intensity on the chorus, while being relaxed enough on the instrumentals that it doesn't forget its vocalist.
Speaking of that vocalist, Jess Glynne is amazing. Unfortunately, a lot of people only know her as the "Nothing beats a Jet2Holiday" singer, but she's absolutely much more than that. I'm a huge fan of "Hold My Hand", which is the song from that. Jess especially has the voice to make "Rather Be" work exceptionally. On a song about how much you wouldn't want to be anywhere else when you're with your partner, she is the kind of vocalist for it. Her voice has a tint of soul to it that truly brings out something special.
I miss when pop songs had this level of art to them. You don't really hear songs like this on the Hot 100 anymore. That's not even me complaining about modern music, as you know I love a lot of it, but "Rather Be" should've been able to start something big. Clean Bandit continued to make great music ("Symphony" with Zara Larsson and "Higher" with Iann Dior are both really good), but none of it ever got as big as this. Maybe we could get a Clean Bandit comeback in 2026? Who knows.
Now, before we get to #1, some honorable mentions.
[HM1] Animals - Martin Garrix
So you're telling me some 17-year-old made a dance song with a total of 8 words, and that song ended up becoming one of the biggest EDM hits of all time and gaining billions of streams? Yeah, that tracks, honestly. Garrix isn't even "some 17-year-old", he was clearly really talented back then. This song just fits a vibe, honestly. I love the production choices on this, including that ticking clock. It makes total sense that this launched Garrix into success.
[HM2] 2 On - Tinashe feat. Schoolboy Q
DJ Mustard's 2014 work wasn't necessarily great, but "2 On" was a pretty great highlight. There's a dark sound to this that I really like, and I think Tinashe's vocals really accentuate that better than someone like T.I. or Chris Brown (who both had hits with Mustard in 2014). The only reason this song didn't make the Top 10 is because putting Schoolboy Q on it might be the dumbest musical decision of 2014. Just let Tinashe do her own thing. There's no point in dragging her down with an awful rap verse.
[HM3] Rap God - Eminem
This song has really aged so strangely, hasn't it? I don't even know if I should put this on here but I guess I can? I'm mostly just putting this on here because Eminem's performance on here is impressive. This song just falls into the "Money For Nothing" category of songs, I guess. Technically impressive, but a little uncomfortable to go back to.
[HM4] Love Me Again - John Newman
[HM5] Stay The Night - Zedd feat. Hayley Williams
Hayley Williams in an EDM song? Heck yeah. Combining her with the guy who made "Clarity" is an absolutely great move. The production here is still absolutely brilliant, and Hayley's voice just makes it so much better. Not necessarily either of their best, but still an excellent song in its own right.
[HM6] Turn Down For What - DJ Snake & Lil Jon
The hypest of hype anthems. While it may have the strangest music video of all time, the song itself absolutely warrants that level of confusion. DJ Snake makes this loud, and adding Lil Jon to it only makes it louder. It's simple, and it does what it does, and what it does is doing. Yes, I did confuse myself writing that.
[HM7] Don't - Ed Sheeran
Doesn't it just suck when you've already got your list ready to go and suddenly a massive controversy comes out with one of the artists on the list and now you have to make it clear that you put this song on the list before that controversy happened?
Yeah....
[HM8] I Don't Dance - Lee Brice
Lee Brice doesn't dance, but he does kiss his fish!
In all seriousness, I was surprised by how much I liked this one. It's a heart-wrenching song about how much Lee is willing to give for the ones he loves. It's actually really emotional. It's a perfect song for a wedding if you love country music.
[HM9] Classic - MKTO
I did not realize that the two guys from Psych wrote a song together. How did this end up this good? It's got a nice, catchy feel to it, and the homages to older songs work a lot better than they probably should. Saying "I was born in the wrong time" in a chorus is a really bold move, and it somehow works really well.
And now, it's time. #1. The best hit song of 2014.
It's a shame that Kongos never got another hit in America. I'm hoping that Todd In The Shadows makes a One Hit Wonderland video about this song. I think there's an interesting story somewhere here that could be really cool to analyze. All I know is that "Come With Me Now" is one of the best hits of the 2010s and the best hit song of 2014. There's nothing a little accordion-led kwaito rock song can't fix!
[HM10] Summer - Calvin Harris
Hot take: Calvin Harris is actually a really good singer. Unlike someone like Zedd or Martin Garrix, he is willing to sing his own songs sometimes, and I think that's really cool. "Summer" has the brightness and joy of a summertime anthem, so it definitely lives up to his name. I know a lot of you probably remember this as the "Wenimechuinsama" song, but it's actually good if you give it the chance.
And now, it's time. #1. The best hit song of 2014.
I acknowledge that putting Weird Al at #3 was probably a bit of a weird choice. That song barely even made it into the qualifications. There is a slight connection with that song and my #1, though. Weird Al made a name for himself in the 70s and 80s making parody songs while using an accordion as one of his main instruments. The novelty of that was something that allowed Al to make a name for himself and eventually become one of our most loved celebrities.
In 2014, the best song of the year was made using an accordion as one of its lead instruments.
Kongos, a South African rock band formed of brothers Dylan, Daniel, Johnny, and Jesse Kongos, charted their first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2014 when "Come With Me Now" charted at #98. The song eventually peaked at #31 and stayed on the charts long enough to enter the 2014 Year-End Hot 100. Boy, was that an achievement. "Come With Me Now' is easily the weirdest song to hit the Year-End chart in 2014, An alt-rock/kwaito hybrid featuring an accordion as the intro to the song? Yeah, that's different, alright. The novelty of that isn't even part of the reason this song is here, funny enough. This song is here mostly because it is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life.
The mix of genres on this is really awesome. The drumming here from Jesse is elite, with a simple but catchy line. The mix of the 4 brothers' vocals is also really cool on the chorus. Those guitars have a nice twang to them that really feels cool when paired with everything else. The rock aspect of this song overpowers everything else and creates a song that is both tense and electrifying. It's got a creepy tone to it in the pre-choruses, and then builds up to release every bit of that into something that rocks harder than Mount Rushmore. It's one of the best sounds on this list, and it definitely works with its premise to be something amazing.
"Come With Me Now" is about breaking yourself free from anxiety. The narrator is trapped, "afraid to lose control and caught up in this world". This song is an anthem. When they say "I was born without this fear", you realize that this is something that has grown attached to you throughout life. When they belt "I need to lose myself tonight", that is the solution. You return to the you that you once were, and lose the you that you became. This song doesn't seem like it at first, but it becomes an anthem for overcoming when you look deeper. To me, the best lyric is "I tried to sell my soul last night, funny, he wouldn't even take a bite", implying that the demons are so intense that even the devil himself doesn't want anything to do with them.
It's a shame that Kongos never got another hit in America. I'm hoping that Todd In The Shadows makes a One Hit Wonderland video about this song. I think there's an interesting story somewhere here that could be really cool to analyze. All I know is that "Come With Me Now" is one of the best hits of the 2010s and the best hit song of 2014. There's nothing a little accordion-led kwaito rock song can't fix!
Thank you all for reading. I'm Lando from The Landoman Experiment, and I hope you have a good day.
