Sorry for the delay, was gonna post this like Wednesday, but I ran into computer problems.  Zebra's Top 120 Songs Of 2013 - #120-101
A great year for music for me, I decided to expand this from a top 100 to a top 120 because I felt like so many of my favorites were cut out due to short runs. Anyways, here we go! 
120. Closer - Tegan And Sara
Run: 46-46-42-39-37-36-36-34-33-34-39
Peak: 33 Weeks: 11 Points: 67,800 3x Platinum
A nice song that I knew about in 2012, this song never really peaked my interest until this year. For a while I really enjoyed it, but then it got pushed out due to heavy competition at the end of the year. Great song though, not really sure how it cracked my top 120 though. 
119. Dark Horse - Katy Perry ft. Juicy J
Run: 27-27-18-50-41-40-43-45-out-46-44-36
Peak: 17 Weeks: 11 Points: 69,300 3x Platinum Still Charting
An amazing promo single from Katy Perry early in the year, I fell in love with it instantly. I pushed it out in a hurry because I felt it was taking the place of other worthy songs that deserved to be there because it wasn't an official single (mistake), and then I recharted it when it started gaining steam on the charts and became a single, and it is already slaying 2014. :'(
118. I Choose U - Timeflies
![]()
Run: 45-36-34-30-26-24-22-21-21-35
Peak: 21 Weeks: 10 Points: 70,600 3x Platinum
A song I enjoyed the preview of on iTunes, but forgot about until I saw it on Au$tin's chart (whoops!  ). However, I finally charted it late and I'm glad I did. It almost made top twenty, but a fast burn rate and heavy competition killed it quickly. (Image won't work, idk)
117. A Light That Never Comes - Linkin Park vs. Steve Aoki
Run: 32-26-24-22-22-22-27-31-35-49
Peak: 22 Weeks: 10 Points: 71,000 3x Platinum
A song I was really looking forward to from Linkin Park, it disappointed me at first. However, it grew on me quickly, and it had a decent run in the 30-22 range. Quick burn rate though.
116. Out Of My League - Fitz And The Tantrums
Run: 47-44-45-34-31-32-31-29-31-34-42-47
Peak: 29 Weeks: 12 Points: 71,300 3x Platinum
A catchy little song I discovered on iTunes, I loved the retro-ish vibe to this one. It should have taken off and done better (both on my charts and the Hot 100), but alas, it still managed to make it this high.
115. Die Young - Ke$ha
Run: 6-6-9-13-17-24-31-36-45
Peak: 6 Weeks: 9 Points: 71,600 3x Platinum Charted In 2012
A song that had a decent run at the end of 2012, it held over long enough to make this countdown. A great lead single, however I liked another song from this album more, and it'll be seen much higher than this.
114. Girl On Fire - Alicia Keys ft. Nicki Minaj
Run: 12-12-11-10-13-22-27-35-41
Peak: 10 Weeks: 9 Points: 71,800 3x Platinum Charted In 2012
Another "Die Young" example, except this song peaked this year. It had a lengthy climb in 2012 though, and it peaking this year helped to get it here.It got pushed out too quickly though.
113. Stay The Night - Zedd ft. Hayley Williams
Run: 50-out-47-48-44-42-42-39-38-35-34-30-23
Peak: 23 Weeks: 12 Points: 72,800 3x Platinum Still Charting
A fan of both Zedd and Hayley Williams, I was excited about this one. However, it took a while to grow on me, as shown by its run. I love it now, but it's no "Clarity", which will be seen later.
112. Carried Away - Passion Pit
Run: 42-40-39-43-37-32-32-30-34-38-40-44
Peak: 30 Weeks: 12 Points: 74,900 3x Platinum
A song I added the same week as "Royals", I initially liked this one more. I believe it was because I loved "Take A Walk", but we see which song triumphed. However, this is a nice song, and it should have done better tbh. It lacked that spark with me though.
111. Looking Hot - No Doubt
Run: 22-19-19-18-16-14-17-27-35-49
Peak: 14 Weeks: 10 Points: 76,400 3x Platinum Charted In 2012
After "Push And Shove" and "Settle Down" I was excited for more No Doubt. This was released and it was flawless. However, it was kept out of the top ten due to heavy competition, and it burned on me quickly.
110. The Monster - Eminem ft. Rihanna
Run: 45-44-39-26-22-18-7-8-8
Peak: 7 Weeks: 9 Points: 76,800 3x Platinum Still Charting
I was excited about this song after it was announced because "Love The Way You Lie" was flawless and "Berzerk" just wasn't going anywhere with me (it should have done better), this song wasn't as instant as "LTWYL", but it grew on me massively and I ended up loving it. Radio is starting to kill it for me though, but it should do decently in 2014.
109. Boom Boom (Heartbeat) - Ray Foxx ft. Rachel K. Collier
Run: 50-9-4-3-3-5-12-20-26
Peak: 3 Weeks: 9 Points: 77,300 3x Platinum Still Charting
A song I discovered due to Lozzy's 200 weeks countdown, I fell in love with it quickly. However, it couldn't sustain it's own momentum, so it starting to crash and burn. However, it's not a bad song, and I'm glad I charted it this high.
108. Gold - Britt Nicole
Run: 50-47-44-37-36-30-27-22-16-17-33-48
Peak: 16 Weeks: 12 Points: 79,300 3x Platinum
A nice little self empowerment song, I thoroughly enjoyed it for a while. It was pushed out due to everything else, however, and it hasn't held up for me well after it fell off. Surprised it made it this high.
107. Scream & Shout - will.i.am ft. Britney Spears
Run: 33-32-26-24-23-21-21-20-18-31-50
Peak: 18 Weeks: 11 Points: 80,100 4x Platinum Charted In 2012
A catchy song that I didn't necessarily like, it was an earworm that wouldn't go away. It's not as bad as everyone thinks it is, but I can see why they'd think that. It burned on me quickly but has had an amazing recurrent life.
106. Perfect Replacement - Example
Run: 41-27-24-23-23-25-28-31-36-37-44-50
Peak: 23 Weeks: 12 Points: 81,100 4x Platinum
Another discovery from juanito's chart, I fell in love with it. It was pushed out due to competition, like many others, but it still amazing.
105. Done. - The Band Perry
Run: 44-41-35-31-28-26-23-27-37-43-49-out-49-46
Peak: 23 Weeks: 13 Points: 82,100 4x Platinum
An amazing single from The Band Perry, I love the in your face mood of the song. It is one of my favorite country songs of the year, and I love it more than everything they have ever put out. So good.
104. Love Me Again - John Newman
Run: 50-49-46-43-41-21-9-4-1-3-7
Peak: 1 (1) Weeks: 11 Points: 83,100 4x Platinum Still Charting
A song that I listened to once and wasn't impressed with, it ended up growing on me. In fact, it even topped my chart in late December. i would have never imagined that he would have a solo number one on my chart ("Feel The Love" was a number one). One more week above number 40 would have placed it in the top 100, and if any song deserved it, it was this one.
103. Made In The USA - Demi Lovato
Run: 47-37-33-28-27-22-20-20-19-27-39-49
Peak: 19 Weeks: 12 Points: 83,200 4x Platinum
A nice summer jam from Demi, I really loved "Heart Attack". This couldn't really match it though, and there were better single choices in my opinion. It burned on me quickly.
102. Everything Has Changed - Taylor Swift ft. Ed Sheeran
Run: 50-47-46-45-20-21-25-27-33-42-46-47-46-50
Peak: 20 Weeks: 14 Points: 85,300 4x Platinum
A nice pop song from Ed and Taylor. The video really helped this one, as I thought it was sweet. I'm glad it had the success it did, and glad it almost made the top 100.
101. Under Control - Calvin Harris & Alesso ft. Hurts
Run: 32-22-19-17-12-6-6-6-5-4
Peak: 4 Weeks: 10 Points: 87,600 4x Platinum Still Charting
This was so close to my top 100. This deserved to be there too. One more week and it would have been. This song is flawless. It will be higher in 2014, so no worries.
Artists and albums later.

So many good songs didn't even make top 100! Excited to see what did!!!! That's exactly how I feel! I just had to expand it to make room for these songs. I'm content with my top 100 for the most part, although some songs should be higher or lower and "Love Me Again"/"Under Control" really deserved to make it. |

Zebra's Top Artists Of 2013 - #15 - #1315. Zedd
Charted Songs: "Clarity" (1), "Fall Into The Sky" (26), "Stay The Night" (23) Zedd makes this countdown thanks to the great recurrent life of "Spectrum", "Clarity"'s entire run, "Fall Into The Sky", and "Stay The Night". "Clarity" was such a massive hit with me. I also checked out his album of the same name and it was fantastic, especially "Fall Into The Sky". "Spectrum" grew on me a lot more this year than it did last as well. "Stay The Night" helped towards the end of the year, as well as his flawless work on Gaga's album. "Aura", "Donatella", and "G.U.Y." are some of my favorites off ARTPOP. 14. Fall Out Boy Charted Songs: "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)" (4), "The Phoenix" (9), "Alone Together" (5) I was never really a huge Fall Out Boy fan, and I would never imagine that they would be in my top twenty artists for the year. However, "My Songs" came out and proved me wrong. That song smashed on my chart, and then I listened to their album and "The Phoenix" smashed, and then "Alone Together" became a smash. They really proved that they could potentially become a massive force on my charts, and I hope they keep going this direction.13. Ke$ha Charted: "Die Young" (6), "Supernatural" (13), "C'mon" (3), "All That Matters (The Beautiful Life)" (26), "Crazy Kids" (49) Ke$ha has been a force on my chart since "Tik Tok", with only a few duds in between hits. This year she didn't fail to impress, although she was less successful this year than she has been. "Die Young", "Supernatural", and "All That Matters (The Beautiful Life)" became hits at the end of 2012 and carried over into 2013, and "C'mon" was huge. "Crazy Kids" was only meh. I still love it. Her album was good, but it wasn't my favorite, although it has some real jams on it. Zebra's Top Albums Of 2013 - #15 & #1415. The Heist - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Charted Songs: "Thrift Shop" (1), "Can't Hold Us" (2), "White Walls" (7)
"Thrift Shop" came out and was a large hit with me. "Can't Hold Us" folowed suit, and "White Walls" smashed as well. "Same Love" and "Wing$" bubbled under for a while, even though they never really caught on. The Heist ranks this high due to producing three top ten hits for me. However, most of the rest of the album has appealed to me yet, although it could grow on me.
14. Clarity - Zedd
Charted: "Clarity" (1), "Fall Into The Sky" (26), "Stay The Night" (23)
See Zedd. Flawless album though. |

Zebra's Top 50 - January 19, 2014 - Week 33, Week 3 Beyonce takes the crown back from Tove Lo this week as "XO" moves from 2 to 1. This was unexpected, as "Habits" was such a strong debut last week, yet somehow "XO" managed to find itself as my favorite song again this week. "Habits" slides from 1 to 2. "Under Control" finally moves into the top three, moving 4 to 3. "Alone Together" drops from 3 to 4, and "Dark Horse" races (lol) from 7 to 5. "Hey Brother", "Bonfire Heart", and "Do What U Want" each slip one position, those being from 5 to 6, 6 to 7, and 9 to 10, respectively. "Best Day Of My Life" holds at number 8, while Jason Derulo (and 2 Chainz, even though his part is awful  ) jumps from 29 to 9 with "Talk Dirty". This pushes "Love Me Again" from 10 to 11. Other notable moves are: "Living The Fantasy" (20-16), "A World Alone" (23-18), "Drunk In Love" (35-22), "Move" (49-29, greatest gainer), "Latch" (44-34), "Love Don't Die" (41-37), and "Falling" (47-41). Four songs debut: "Y.A.L.A." (43), "Can't Remember To Forget You" (47), "People Help The People" (49), and "La La La" (50). More formatting tomorrow!

Sad to see "Habits" fall off the top spot. :( But at least you found the 106. Perfect Replacement - Example
Run: 41-27-24-23-23-25-28-31-36-37-44-50Peak: 23 Weeks: 12 Points: 81,100 4x PlatinumAnother discovery from juanito's chart, I fell in love with it. It was pushed out due to competition, like many others, but it still amazing.
:) Also "Move" & "YALA". 
As far as the year end goes "Closer": Good spot to have this at, barely enough to make it, but not too high.  "Dark Horse": Wish this cracked the top 100, but nonetheless glad it could make the cut. :) "I Choose U": Honestly shocked this made the year-end chart, yay! "A Light That Never Comes": It took me awhile to catch onto this, but once I did I fell in love with this. <3 "Out Of My League": I never was crazy about this, though I always did like it. "Die Young": Never really was into this track. "Girl On Fire": I absolutely raved about this track at first, but then it burned quickly for me after awhile. "Stay The Night": I loved this track until radio near me overplayed the s**t out of it, I still like it though. ;) "Carried Away": I know I've heard this before, though I'll have to listen to it again to refresh my memory of it. "Looking Hot": I also can't recall how this one goes.
"The Monster" - I am a huge stan of Rihanna, which may be the only reason why I liked this song at all, I don't really think the production was good & honestly think it was a mess. "Boom Boom (Heartbeat)": Everything in this song I feel was perfected just from the vocals for this song. "Gold": Good song w/ decent production, but great lyrics. "Scream & Shout": Radio killed this from the first listen for me with this, it wasn't actually till after it peaked before I finally caught onto it. Talk about joining the bandwagon late. "Perfect Replacement": Such a great song that I am glad juanito introduced to us. :) "Done": I've only bothered to listen to this a couple times, but I like it. "Love Me Again": One word describes this song [AMAZING]!!!! "Made In The U.S.A.: This song somewhat caught on to me, but it never really had that spark that most of her singles do to me. "Everything Has Changed": While everyone else seemed to hate this when it became a single, I loved it from first listen, but eventually it became another song radio killed for me. "Under Control": I am in love with everything about this song. <3 |

"Dark Horse": Wish this cracked the top 100, but nonetheless glad it could make the cut. :) "I Choose U": Honestly shocked this made the year-end chart, yay! "A Light That Never Comes": It took me awhile to catch onto this, but once I did I fell in love with this. <3 "Out Of My League": I never was crazy about this, though I always did like it. "Die Young": Never really was into this track. "Girl On Fire": I absolutely raved about this track at first, but then it burned quickly for me after awhile. "Stay The Night": I loved this track until radio near me overplayed the s**t out of it, I still like it though. ;) "Carried Away": I know I've heard this before, though I'll have to listen to it again to refresh my memory of it. "Looking Hot": I also can't recall how this one goes.
"The Monster" - I am a huge stan of Rihanna, which may be the only reason why I liked this song at all, I don't really think the production was good & honestly think it was a mess. "Boom Boom (Heartbeat)": Everything in this song I feel was perfected just from the vocals for this song. "Gold": Good song w/ decent production, but great lyrics. "Scream & Shout": Radio killed this from the first listen for me with this, it wasn't actually till after it peaked before I finally caught onto it. Talk about joining the bandwagon late. "Perfect Replacement": Such a great song that I am glad juanito introduced to us. :) "Done": I've only bothered to listen to this a couple times, but I like it. "Love Me Again": One word describes this song [AMAZING]!!!! "Made In The U.S.A.: This song somewhat caught on to me, but it never really had that spark that most of her singles do to me. "Everything Has Changed": While everyone else seemed to hate this when it became a single, I loved it from first listen, but eventually it became another song radio killed for me. "Under Control": I am in love with everything about this song. <3 "Habits" isn't out yet. I thought it would be my number one until literally Saturday afternoon when I discovered that I liked "XO" just a tad more. :) "Move" and "YALA" are flawless. So good. Yay! Glad you liked it! I agree with many of your comments, especially the ones about overplay. Thanks for commenting. |

Zebra's Top 120 Of 2013 - 100-76Sorry for the late post! I meant to post the other day, but my computer started to mess up and I lost it. Anyways, here goes! Enjoy! 100. The Other Side – Jason Derulo
Run: 50-38-33-29-20-24-32-28-27-35-47-out-48-46-49
Peak: 20 Weeks: 14 Points: 89,400 4x Platinum
An extremely catchy single from Mr. Derulo, I fell in love with it quickly. It burned on me quickly though, yet it unburned itself quickly, eventually re-entering my chart. I like this song, and I suppose it has earned its rank.
99. Do What U Want – Lady Gaga ft. R. Kelly
Run: 1-1-2-2-2-1-1-3-2-3
Peak: 1 (4) Weeks: 10 Points: 90,290 4x Platinum *Still Charting*
TOO LOW! Maybe I’ll change my points system soon. However, it is the shortest charting song to make my year end top 100 this year, so I guess that is impressive. This song is so good. In my opinion it’s probably the best Gaga single since “Telephone”, although I have loved most of her other singles in between. Hopefully this will do a lot better next year.
98. Hurricane – Bridgit Mendler
 Run: 42-40-38-35-35-33-30-29-32-28-29-33-36-41
Peak: 28 Weeks: 14 Points: 91,900 4x Platinum
Holy crap, how did this make the top 100? Anyways, it was a nice single choice from Bridgit, and I fell in love with it quickly. It never could quite rise above number 28. Good longevity though, for its peak.
97. Love Somebody – Maroon 5
 Run: 42-35-33-29-20-22-28-30-31-35-44-50-44-41
Peak: 20 Weeks: 14 Points: 91,600 4x Platinum
One of Pulse’s most hated songs of the year, I didn’t think it was that bad. However, it wasn’t amazing, either. It grew on me, but ultimately, I was disappointed. “Payphone” and “One More Night” were great, but this and “Daylight” (which will appear later) ended up being only okay. I like this one better than “Daylight”, though, even though it ranks lower.
96. Lego House - Ed Sheeran
 Run: 47-45-49-47-49-46-42-38-37-40-37-35-36-39-42-49
Peak: 35 Weeks: 16 Points: 92,200 4x Platinum
Talk about low peak with longevity. This was a good choice for next single after “The A-Team”, and it is a shame it never caught on with me or the public. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate it, but it just never really clicked.
95. American Girl – Bonnie McKee
 Run: 47-36-35-35-31-22-16-15-13-21-27-34-46
Peak: 13 Weeks: 13 Points: 92,200 4x Platinum
This song actually tied with “Lego House”, but since it had a better peak and since I like it better, it ranks higher. This was a nice guilty pleasure in late summer, but I don’t regret charting it. I still enjoy it. I need to check out “Sleepwalker”, since I enjoyed this and the songs she wrote for Katy Perry, but we’ll see how that goes. Glad this made it, despite the fact that it burned on me quicky.
94. How To Be A Heartbreaker – Marina & The Diamonds
 Run: 9-9-8-7-7-6-12-16-22-33-46
Peak: 6 Weeks: 11 Points: 93,100 4x Platinum *Charted In 2012*
I fell in love with Marina last year, and this song started to smash in late 2012. Most of its run this year was in the top ten, with it peaking at number 6. It got pushed out quickly though, which is a shame because I loved it a lot.
93. Here’s To Never Growing Up – Avril Lavigne
 Run: 48-30-27-24-10-16-19-18-19-28-34-41-44
Peak: 10 Weeks: 13 Points: 94,300 4x Platinum
Despite the fact that this sounds like many of Avril’s past singles, I still gave this one a chance. I enjoyed it for quite a while and I had hoped it would smash, but alas, it did not. It burned on me quickly though, but it lasted long enough to chart here.
92. Something I Need – OneRepublic
 Run: 46-44-39-37-35-30-28-28-24-26-24-23-22-20
Peak: 20 Weeks: 14 Points: 96,900 5x Platinum *Still Charting*
After “Counting Stars” had peaked, I wanted a new OneRepublic song to chart. I found this one after looking at Lozzy’s chart (I think it was a single in Australia), and I fell in love. It was rising as the year ended, but it should be higher next year.
91. Catch My Breath – Kelly Clarkson
 Run: 21-18-16-15-14-13-13-11-14-22-32-41
Peak: 11 Weeks: 12 Points: 97,000 5x Platinum *Charted In 2012*
I was so excited when this single came out, and I was excited about her Greatest Hits collection. Because of this excitement, I charted it quickly, but it took a while to peak, peaking in early March. It’s a shame I didn’t take this one to the top ten. It burned on me back then, but I love it again now. I’m glad it made it. One more song by Kelly will rank higher.
90. Carry On – fun.
 Run: 50-44-38-36-34-33-32-32-29-28-28-24-20-29-44
Peak: 20 Weeks: 15 Points: 99,900 5x Platinum
I enjoyed this early in the year, but overplay in my area killed this one for me. I can’t stand to listen to it now, and it is visible at the end of this song’s run that I started to not enjoy it anymore. Not a bad song, just not as amazing as “We Are Young” and “Some Nights”.
89. Waiting For Superman – Daughtry
 Run: 41-34-32-32-34-36-37-35-32-35-34-31-29-29-28
Peak: 28 Weeks: 15 Points: 100,100 5x Platinum *Still Charting*
As a casual Daughtry fan, I was eager to hear this one. It ended up being great, and so I decided to chart it. It lacked the spark to cause it to go any higher, but I enjoy it nevertheless, and I wish it would have smashed on the Hot 100.
88. Sweet Nothing – Calvin Harris ft. Florence Welch
 Run: 2-3-2-1-5-9-14-18-26-38-42-out-44
Peak: 1 (1) Weeks: 12 Points: 100,200 5x Platinum *Charted In 2012*
After 18 Months was released, this, “Iron”, and “I Need Your Love” were the standouts to me. They all charted, especially this one, and much of its top ten run was caught in 2012. This was another example of a song that got pushed out quickly. Amazing song though.
87. The A-Team – Ed Sheeran
 Run: 34-34-27-27-25-23-23-22-21-15-13-21-32-42
Peak: 13 Weeks: 14 Points: 104,100 5x Platinum *Charted In 2012*
Don’t let the low peak and short run fool you, I love this song. It had a lengthy run in 2012 as well, and it just missed the top ten. There was so much competition this year, and this one unfortunately missed out. Amazing song though.
86. Diamonds – Rihanna
 Run: 3-5-6-8-10-12-16-23-30-37-39-47-47
Peak: 3 Weeks: 13 Points: 104,200 5x Platinum *Charted In 2012*
This song was such a big hit at the end of 2012. It racked up 6 weeks at number one, and it was beginning to descend when 2013 started. This is one of my all-time favorites from Rihanna, and I thought it was a perfect first single. I still love it, and it still sounds fresh when I listen to it.
85. Get Lucky – Daft Punk ft. Pharrell
 Run: 42-41-10-8-9-11-16-22-23-26-35-36-36-45
Peak: 8 Weeks: 14 Points: 104,300 5x Platinum
I had been a casual fan of Daft Punk, and I was interested in this one after I saw that it flew up iTunes. I checked it out and I loved it. This was such a big hit that the radio wouldn’t stop playing it, so it died quickly. I enjoy it again now, and I’m glad it got this high. Also, I just noticed that “The A-Team”, “Diamonds”, and this all are separated by 100 points apiece. This just shows how close many of these songs were.
84. Replay – Zendaya
 Run: 40-25-19-18-14-14-9-5-10-16-21-28-31
Peak: 5 Weeks: 13 Points: 105,300 5x Platinum *Still Charting*
I heard this at first and it didn’t stand out to me. However, I gave it another chance and I LOVED it. So good. I knew about Zendaya, and she had even charted with “Watch Me” and “Something To Dance For”, but this song was her highest charter. I can’t wait to see what she releases next.
83. Home – Phillip Phillips
 Run: 8-8-7-6-6-5-6-3-10-16-26-39
Peak: 3 Weeks: 12 Points: 106,900 5x Platinum *Charted In 2012*
Quite possibly my favorite American Idol winner’s song (“A Moment Like This” gives it a run for its money though), this song grew on me over the second half of 2012. It finally really took off at the end of 2012. This song had been charting for a long time when it finally peaked, so I killed it fast. This is evident in the fact that this song was in the top ten 9 out of its 12 weeks on in 2013. Amazing song.
82. Work Bitch – Britney Spears
 Run: 46-36-20-12-12-11-10-15-18-19-24-30-36-41
Peak: 10 Weeks: 14 Points: 107,100 5x Platinum
I was so excited when I found out that Britney was coming back with a new single, especially after I loved Femme Fatale’s singles. However, this one let me down at first. When she announced the single I automatically expected it to be terrible, but when it came out I was proven wrong. I love the dance feel to this song, and I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t caught on my head often. It isn’t her best, but it is fun nonetheless.
81. With Ur Love – Cher Lloyd
 Run: 42-38-37-35-34-33-26-23-20-14-7-13-23-33-41
Peak: 7 Weeks: 15 Points: 108,200 5x Platinum
After “Swagger Jagger”, “Want U Back”, and “Oath”, I found this gem. I was excited about charting it, and I loved it throughout its run. It was held back from truly achieving more weeks in the top ten or a better peak due to crazy competition, but this is so good.
80. Mountain Sound – Of Monsters And Men
 Run: 45-42-40-38-36-38-39-48-41-42-50-43-40-38-38-41-41-48-49
Peak: 36 Weeks: 19 Points: 110,300 6x Platinum
Wow, I didn’t even realize that this made it with a peak even lower than “Lego House”. This was a nice follow up to “Little Talks”, yet it never really could make it past where it did. Stiff competition I suppose was the cause. Amazing longevity, and I wish I had charted this higher.
79. Still Into You – Paramore
 Run: 48-43-40-41-32-26-22-19-23-28-35-40-out-50-34-34-33-41
Peak: 19 Weeks: 17 Points: 111,100 6x Platinum
I didn’t like this song when I first heard it, but I didn’t hate it. I gave it another chance once I saw it was getting a pop push and I grew to love it. It has a lower peak, but I gave it a lengthy run with a re-entry. Great song, so glad it took off.
78. Ho Hey – The Lumineers
 Run: 35-35-32-29-28-25-24-24-23-20-15-10-17-26-40
Peak: 10 Weeks: 15 Points: 111,800 6x Platinum *Charted In 2012*
This song took forever to grow on me. It started off with a slow start in 2012, and it eventually climbed all the way to number 10 this year. I’m glad it was so successful, but I wish radio hadn’t have kept it as long as they did. They kind of killed this one for me, but I can listen to it now.
77. White Noise – Disclosure ft. AlunaGeorge
 Run: 47-8-5-4-4-6-11-14-21-21-26-34-38-43
Peak: 4 Weeks: 14 Points: 112,300 6x Platinum
A song I discovered from juanito’s chart, I liked the production on it and Aluna’s vocals. It skyrocketed to the top ten in its second week and quickly made the top five. It never could go top 3, but I loved it regardless. Amazing song, should have charted it longer.
76. Heart Hypnotic – Delta Goodrem
 Run: 36-13-5-1-1-6-10-15-20-26-30-34-38-45
Peak: 1 (2) Weeks: 14 Points: 112,500 6x Platinum
The floppiest number one single this year (aka the worst one with its complete run in 2013), Slizzard hyped it up and I decided to check it out. I loved it, obviously, but it was a quick burner, which is a shame. It’s not a bad song, it just didn’t receive much play for me and so it tumbled.

Zebra's Top 50 - January 26, 2014 - Week 34, Week 4
Week 4 of 2014! Beyonce maintains number one this week with "XO". She also moves two more songs into the top twenty, with "Partition" (I know, album track, but I love it too much) debuting at number 9 and "Drunk In Love" moving from 22 to 18. Tove Lo also maintains her number two position, and she has a good chance at re-claiming number one. However, "Dark Horse" moves from 5 to 3 this week, also vying for number one. "Under Control" slides from 3 to 4. This top four is crazy strong. "Bonfire Heart" rebounds from 7 to 5, "Best Day Of My Life" moves from 8 to 6, and Fall Out Boy falls from 4 to 7 with "Alone Together". Jason Derulo moves from 9 to 8 with "Talk Dirty" and "Move" rockets from 29 to 10, almost matching "Talk Dirty"'s move last week. "Hey Brother" and "Do What U Want" leave the top ten. Besides "Partition", four other songs debut. They are: "How Long Will I Love You" by Ellie Goulding (43), "Come To Me" by the Goo Goo Dolls (46), "Jubel" by Klingande (47), and "All Of Me" by John Legend at number 50. "Counting Stars" is the longest chart sitter, with 40 weeks on, "Move" is the greatest gainer, and "Animals" is the biggest faller (35-48). I also added an unofficial 60 to 51, and this may become official in the near future.

Glad you like these! You have great taste! About "Animals". I know, it's tragic. It is only falling because my chart is so crazy right now. (Hmm, that could be a Beyonce pun) It's had a good run though, and it is one of my favorites of last year. So good. Thanks for commenting! |
