I think #87 and #88 have the wrong picture  How do you figure? "Play It Again" has the "Maps" picture and "Ghost" has the "Play It Again" picture  |

Peak: #4
Points: 1200
Notes: Excellent follow up to their debut single (you may see it later in the countdown...). Nicely done, very catchy, btw, I NAILED Macklemore's rap when my family and I danced to this at a wedding a few months ago, sure impressed the others.

Peak: #6
Points: 1281
Notes: Prior to the release of this song, I forgot all about Nick Jonas and I didn't even know this was him at first when I first heard it. But very catchy.
#43: Hold On, We're Going Home by Drake ft. Majid Jordan
Peak: #3
Points: 1288
Notes: Not something I was expecting from Drake, but very well done!

#40: Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran
Peak: #2
Points: 1306
Notes: Ed's best single to date, very good lyrics!
#39: Summer by Calvin Harris
Peak: #1
Points: 1339
Notes: Very good and appropriate for summer indeed. Great beat, and surprisingly, good voice from Calvin.
#38: Problem by Ariana Grande ft. Iggy Azalea
.png)
Peak: #1
Points: 1344
Notes: Still my favorite Ariana Grande song! Very good lyrics, beat, even Iggy's rap portion fits the song.
#37: Let it Go by Idina Menzel
Peak: #1
Points: 1344
Notes: Several factors helped in how this got to the summit for one week: my family, my siblings, the fact it made the top 5 of the Hot 100, and of course, the movie and Idina. It's annoying now, but still, it's a good song.
#36: Pompeii by Bastille
Peak: #4
Points: 1350
Notes: Excellent meaning and lyrics, definitely deserved its top 5 appearance on the Hot 100.
#35: Waves by Mr. Probz
Peak: #6
Points: 1379
Notes: Very good vocals, good lyrics. Can definitely relate.
#34: Stay with Me by Sam Smith
Peak: #2
Points: 1382
Notes: Still my favorite song from Sam Smith. Everything's perfect.
#33: Team by Lorde
Peak: #4
Points: 1384
Notes: Excellent follow up to her debut single (you'll see if it makes the list later :) )
#32: Gangnam Style by PSY
Peak: #4
Points: 1409
Notes: This was played EVERYWHERE in late 2012 and early 2013, and it stayed a while on my chart. Extremely catchy.
#31: Counting Stars by One Republic
Peak: #3
Points: 1410
Notes: So close to hitting #1 on the Hot 100 and so close to hitting #1 on my chart too. In fact, at its peak on my chart, the gap between #1 and #2 was very small, and CS was closer to #2 than #2 was to #1. But still, excellent meaning, lyrics, everything is perfect! For sure, their best song to date.Flip Albie trustypepper popstop Mr. Thonk Eyes Daryl the Beryl Ed The Pacifist! @markg94 H.

The Countdown Continues...
And then, there were 25... I trust all of you are happy overall with the first 175 songs I've shown you on this countdown. So now, we go into the best of the best. Who and what will be JL44's most successful song? We are inching ever so closer to that moment...
#25: Happy by Pharrell Williams
Peak: #1
Points: 1493
Notes: Very catchy, very good lyrics, even though it did get annoying after a few months.
#24: Clarity by Zedd ft. Foxes
.png)
Peak: #1
Points: 1508
Notes: This here is one of own personal favorites of all time and my favorite EDM song of all time as well. Spent 9 weeks at #1 in 2013. Excellent beat from Zedd and great lyrics and vocals from Foxes.
#23: Burn by Ellie Goulding
Peak: #5
Points: 1512
Notes: This, along with Lights and LMLYD, are Ellie's best in my book. It took a rare path on my chart by debuting in the top 10 in July 2013, staying in the top 20 all of summer, where it eventually reached its #5 peak in August, and then making its second run to the top 15 in early 2014 when it got popular in the US.
#22: Royals by Lorde
Peak: #4
Points: 1537
Notes: Very meaningful lyrics and good message from Lorde. Definitely deserved to reach #1 on the Hot 100.
#21: Demons by Imagine Dragons
.jpg)
Peak: #3
Points: 1556
Notes: Excellent song from ID. This song also had two chart runs: its first in the summer of 2013, where it reached #25, its second starting in late fall 2013, where in winter 2014, it reached #3.
180 down, 20 to go! Are you ready?

I love every song in 40-21, other than Let It Go, Stay With Me and 23 (song title, not position number)! Big thumbs-up! Can't wait to see the top 20!

The Countdown Continues...
And here we go into the top 20. If you're ready, then here we go!
#20: Suit and Tie by Justin Timberlake ft. Jay-Z
Peak: #1
Points: 1559
Notes: Very good vocals and lyrics. As I've said before, JT never fails to impress me.
#19: Wake Me Up! by Avicii ft. Aloe Blacc
Peak: #2
Points: 1590
Notes: I hate to repeatedly say, "Good lyrics and vocals" for a lot of songs in this countdown, but here, I gotta say the same thing. Too bad this doesn't count as a top 10 for Aloe, he deserves it as much as he deserved "The Man." Great EDM beat as well.
#18: I'm Not the Only One by Sam Smith
Peak: #1
Points: 1608
Notes: I do like "Stay with Me" slightly more than this, but still, this hit #1 and it stuck on my chart longer than SWM. Great song in nearly every way.
#17: Turn Down for What by DJ Snake ft. Lil John
Peak: #3
Points: 1625
Notes: This song spent nearly 8 months on my chart, with it peaking in May and June. It may be one phrase over and over again, but this was so damn catchy and the beat is perfect!
#16: Rather Be by Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne
Peak: #3
Points: 1646
Notes: You saw this at #3 in the 2014 countdown, now you see it in the top 20 here. This debuted in May 2014, a few weeks before the start of its US run, and it slayed in the top 10. It also lasted until the end of November. This is also nearly perfect in every detail, the one thing I regret is not listening to this early, I first heard about this around late March. This deserves at least top 10. :(

Peak: #1
Points: 1647
Notes: Spent 14 weeks at #1, almost perfect in every way!
#14: Centuries by Fall Out Boy
Peak: #3
Points: 1659
Notes: One of Fall Out Boy's best songs. Its longevity on my chart is to thank and also, it spent the majority of its run in the top 15.
#13: Timber by Pitbull ft. Kesha
Peak: #1
Points: 1687
Notes: Not a big fan of Kesha, but she does a great job as the featured act in this song. Also, the most popular hit at the recent weddings I went to. Love it in nearly every way.
#12: Fancy by Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX
Peak: #1
Points: 1705
Notes: The moment I heard this, I was really hooked to it, it's THAT catchy. Spent 6 weeks at #1, 16 weeks in the top 3, and 17 weeks in the top 5, second most and third most respectively.
#11: Mirrors by Justin Timberlake
Peak: #2
Points: 1730
Notes: One of the best, if not THE best, songs I've ever heard from this incredible artist. Very good message and lyrics.Flip Albie trustypepper popstop Mr. Thonk Eyes Daryl the Beryl Ed The Pacifist! @markg94 H.

Here we go!#10:Swimming Pools (Drank) by Kendrick Lamar
Peak: #1Points: 1873Notes: This had two runs. The first was its run because of its Hot 100 run and its catchiness. The other was when I realized the message of this song: About the dangers of alcohol and what it can do to you. And that's why this song deserves top 10 as well as one of the reasons why Kendrick is one of the best rappers of our generation.#9:Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus.png) Peak: #1Points: 1877Notes: If you all remember back in 2013, a lot of people hated Miley Cyrus for a lot of her controversial acts, this one of them. The song after the first listen? Great. The video? Everyone hates it now. But not me, for the video, despite the nakedness, was symbolic for the song. Great song overall.
#8:Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson ft. Bruno Mars_(Official_Single_Cover).png)
Peak: #1Points: 1886Notes: Truly one of the best songs I've ever heard. And... it's still in the top 10 of my chart. This actually will rank #6 on this chart once this week's weekly chart is up. There are a lot of things I could say about this song, so to sum it up, EVERYTHING is perfect!#7:
Beauty and a Beat by Justin Bieber ft. Nicki Minaj
Peak: #1Points: 1897Notes: This dominated the majority of the first half of 2013 before, uh, we saw the worst of him. Still on the fence currently, not sure what to believe and what not to believe, but nevertheless, this is still a good song. Kinda wish Nicki's verse was a little cleaner tbh.#6:We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus
Peak: #2Points: 1966Notes: Dominated for six months in 2013 and made a brief return in 2014. It spent the entire summer in the top 10, with its top 3 run in August 2013. Very catchy and a great party song, I will say the lyrics should be cleaned up in some places...Flip Albie trustypepper popstop Mr. Thonk Eyes Daryl the Beryl Ed The Pacifist! @markg94 H.

The Countdown Continues...
#5:Scream and Shout by will.i.am ft. Britney Spears.jpg) Peak: #1Points: 2037Notes: Some of you may recall that I was a HUGE Black Eyed Peas fan back in the early 2010's and I loved some of what will.i.am did when not making music with the Peas. Sadly, I've drastically lost interest for him the past few years and the Black Eyed Peas without Fergie. But still here, excellent EDM beat. Even though it is a little repetitive, very catchy nevertheless. Also dominated the first half of 2013.Great song, but that's not his best on this chart... THIS IS:#4:#thatPOWER by will.i.am ft. Justin Bieber Peak: #1Points: 2062Notes: Just edged out Scream and Shout for the #4 spot, and although it's a 25 point difference, this used to hold lots of records. It was one of only 2 songs to debut at the summit (Problem was the other), it spent 10 weeks at #1, 15 weeks in the top 3, and 20 weeks in the top 5, all 3 of those which are now gone. Excellent beat here as well, very catchy, and even JB's refrain isn't bad here.3 to go! Who will claim the medals? Find out later today!
