[sabre14]

We have pretty much seen all the songs that will be released in 2014 so no better time than now for your favorite songs of 2014. My way is to list songs that peaked in 2014 or at least has spent most of its chart run in 2014. But if you like the just being released in 2014 then that's fine too. Anything's open.

You're welcome to start it if you'd like :)

I'll definitely be filling out my year-end personal charts for singles and albums soon, but it'll probably have to wait a week or two...by then, winter break will be in full-swing for me and I'll have more free time :)

[Markus Meyer]

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Year end list time :)

I'll compile my lists a bit later. On a related note, I'll be doing a year end list at my website, anyone interested just PM me :)

I'm swamped with school work as well. Somehow, I've made it this far staying relatively active on Pulse. But from now til the 19th, I still have a ton of papers to type out and oh my goodness I still haven't done my Christmas shopping.

At least I got my year end list done. :)

My Top 10:

10. "Give Me Back My Hometown" - Eric Church

One of my favorite songs off one of my favorite albums of the year, Eric Church's return to the top of the charts stands out with a passionate and desperate chorus and thumping "Ooh's" throughout.

Favorite Lyric: You can have my grandma's locket, the knife out of my grandpa's pocket, yeah my state champion jacket, I don't care you can have it

9. "Girl In A Country Song" - Maddie & Tae

The female duo that country radio needs took necessary shots into the armor of bro-country with amazing results.

Favorite Lyric: Tell me one more time, "you gotta get you some of that," sure I'll slide on over, but you’re gonna get slapped

8. "Drunk On A Plane" - Dierks Bentley

2014's Song of the Summer was a fun party song with lyrical depth, a signature song for my favorite artist of the year.

Favorite Lyric: On my way home I'll bump this seat right up to first class, so I can drink that cheap champagne out of a real glass, and when we land I'll call her up and tell her kiss my ass

7. "Like A Cowboy" - Randy Houser

We needed a great cowboy song and Randy Houser supplied it with outstanding vocals and a big chorus.

Favorite Lyric: I keep your picture tucked inside my old hat, it brings me luck, I need a bunch of that

6. "Keep It To Yourself" - Kacey Musgraves

An underappreciated song that was overshadowed by "Follow Your Arrow" at the awards shows, "Keep It To Yourself" featured Kacey's most honest lyrics and an understated production.

Favorite Lyric: You turn on the light, then you turn it back off, 'cause sleeping alone, yeah it ain't what you thought

5. "Want Me Too" - Charlie Worsham

An upbeat radio-ready song from my favorite new artist, "Want Me Too" has standout verses and fantastic guitar-work.

Favorite Lyric: My heart's skippin' like a stone on the water, tell me what do I gotta do to make you want me too

4. "I Got A Car" - George Strait

The best song from George Strait in years is a story song with a great flowing chorus, and it's just so much fun.

Favorite Lyric: If there's one thing I know girl, it's gotten us this far, and I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are

3. "Meanwhile Back At Mama's (feat. Faith Hill)" - Tim McGraw

After the "Looking For That Girl" debacle, Tim McGraw released a traditional song about nostalgia and home, popular themes that Tim captures with descriptive lyrics.

Favorite Lyric: I miss those small town routes, walkin around in muddy boots, the sound of rain on an old tin roof, it's time we head on back

2. "Talladega" - Eric Church

A spiritual successor to "Springsteen", "Talladega" returns Eric to his nostalgic and reflective strengths. Anyone can relate to cherishing the good times and looking back at the memories.

Favorite Lyric: Most days in life don't stand out, but life's about those days that will

1. "I Hold On" - Dierks Bentley

Dierks sings about holding on to the important things in his life with great emotion that clearly comes from personal experience. The song seems to get better with every listen.

Favorite Lyric: What they don’t know is my dad and me, we drove her out to Tennessee, and she’s still here and now he’s gone, so I hold on

PS: I always hate these countdowns and trying to figure out what is considered this year and the previous year. Should it be release date, chart peak, majority of its chart run, etc?

Me too. I try and go by peak but nobody's wrong for determining. 

The hardest songs are those released in August through October and peak between March and April of the next calendar year.

I need to think this one through a bit and will come back and do something more official.

Top of mind - the top songs:
1. I Hold One - Dierks
2. Meanwhile Back at Mamas - Tim and Faith
3. It Aint the Whiskey - Gary
4. What I Can't Put Down - Jon Pardi
5. I Got A Car - George
6. When I Woke Up Today/Me and My Kind - my tie vote for Texas artists Wade Bowen and Cody Johnson

Top of mind - the worst:
1. Shut Up and Hold On - Toby (and I will readily admit, I still greatly enjoy most of his songs including Drunk Americans but this song had no pulse
2. Looking for that Girl - Tim (ditto, this was so bad it makes Truck Yeah look like the Mona Lisa)
3. Freestyle - Lady A
4. Something Bad - Miranda and Carrie

Notes: My rules are that the song has to peak within the year. I'm wagering that a few songs (Look at You and Close Your Eyes) will at least tough out the Christmas season and get slightly higher, so they're not on here.)

"Look At You" is done though. It falls to #8 on MB this week without a bullet after going without one last week. It's last official day on the charts will be next Sunday.

Fine, then I'm moving it to 2015 only because I don't want to change my list again. Seriously, I'll move My Eyes to #51 and put B&R back on.

[jesster]

Really hard to pick, but on top of my head a few

Chris Young, Who I Am With You (interesting no one else picked this - while it reminds me of another of his songs IMO Chris sounds really good in it. Not hugely fond of Lonely Eyes personally)
Dierks, I Hold On, Drunk On A Plane
Maddie & Tae
Miranda, Automatic
Big and Rich, Look at You (surprising!)
FGL, Dirt (beyond surprising!)
Brad Paisley, River Bank (comeback version)
David Nail, Kiss Me Tonight (grower)
Eric Church, Cold One

[sabre14]

I edited in a 51st song in my list because somehow I totally forgot about "You Are What You Love". Probably because it flamed out so incredibly fast.

I'll definitely be filling out my year-end personal charts for singles and albums soon, but it'll probably have to wait a week or two...by then, winter break will be in full-swing for me and I'll have more free time :)

I lied. I went days at a time over winter break without coming onto Pulse, haha.

But, better late than never. Here are my favorite singles from 2014! I went with songs that peaked in 2014, so there's a bunch of songs that are still charting or that peaked in January that will be saved for my 2015 year-end list :)

74. Zac Brown Band – “All Alright”
75. Eric Paslay – “Friday Night”

It was a bit of a stretch getting to 75 songs that I genuinely enjoyed. Some of the songs toward the bottom I don't care to listen to anymore, mostly because I'm so burned out on them. Probably the top 60 are songs that I still enjoy quite a bit, and the top 20-30 songs were really difficult to sort out.

And...here are my least favorites from 2014:

1. Thomas Rhett – “Get Me Some Of That”
2. Dylan Scott – “Mmm, Mmm, Mmm”
3. Florida Georgia Line f/ Luke Bryan – “This Is How We Roll”
4. Jason Aldean – “Burnin’ It Down”
5. Luke Bryan – “Play It Again”
6. Chase Rice – “Ready, Set, Roll”
7. Cole Swindell – “Hope You Get Lonely Tonight”
8. Brantley Gilbert – “Bottoms Up”
9. Jerrod Niemann – “Donkey”
10. Brantley Gilbert f/ Thomas Rhett & Justin Moore – “Small Town Throwdown”
11. Eric Paslay – “Song About A Girl”
12. Jerrod Niemann – “Buzz Back Girl”
13. The Swon Brothers – “Later On”
14. Maggie Rose – “Girl In Your Truck Song”
15. Toby Keith – “Shut Up And Hold On”
16. Jerrod Niemann – “Drink To That All Night”
17. Kelleigh Bannen – “Famous”
18. Joey Hyde – “Get It On”
19. Tim McGraw – “Lookin' For That Girl”
20. Florida Georgia Line – “Stay”

Ranked from worst to least-worst, but they're all pretty bad (in my opinion, of course). The top 6 are especially atrocious to me. "Donkey" is obviously really bad too, but because I don't think Jerrod was being too serious with that one (and because he has 2 other songs on this list), I didn't put it worse than #9. I think I only listened to Toby Keith's "Shut Up And Hold On" maybe 1-2 times total, but I remember it enough to justify ranking it on the "bad" list. Same goes for Kelleigh Bannen's "Famous". FGL's "Stay" is sort of listenable, but it's not a good song. "Lookin' For That Girl" is pretty embarrassing but I felt the ultra-bro songs were far worse.
