25. Imagine Dragons - It's Time (52): Ooof, all of these Imagine Dragons songs have taken some big drops here. I do really like this song but it's my least favorite of their 3 songs on here. So I'm not surprised that this ended up doing the best, lol.
24. Icona Pop f/ Charli XCX - I Love It (7): Wow it's really impressive seeing this make a +24 spot jump to #24. Much better placement for this but aww I still wish this could have done. This is such a fun, catchy and addicting song. I don't care..... I love it! Agreed with those saying this is one of the best pop songs of the year.
23. Lorde - Royals (37): This is a real cool, chill song and I do really like this. I think there were times where I did love it and times where it needed time to grow on me, so this song was kind of all over the place for me lol. But I do still like it. I am surprised this didn't rank higher than this.
22. Capital Cities - Safe and Sound (77): This is a fun and cute song. I didn't care that much for it when it was out but it has slowly grown on me over the years. Still not a fan of it but I would say that I do like it now.
21. Mariah Carey f/ Miguel - #beautiful (46): Oooh whoaa, very nice that this song managed to get a +42 spot boost here. This is a smooth and cool collabo from Mariah and Miguel. Both sound good separately and together here. And I do really like the vibe of this.
20. Justin Timberlake f/ Jay-Z - Suit & Tie (19): Happy to see this making a +12 spot and making it to the Top 20. Also glad this didn't beat out "Mirrors." But dangg it, I am just one spot away from a perfect rank. Ugh of course that happens.
![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif)
Anywho, I do love this. This is a fun, cool and slick jam! The #99 for this is really surprising.
19. Rihanna - Diamonds (40): This is a great song from Rihanna though it isn't a song of hers I ever truly really loved a ton like many of her other songs. It's strong... but yeah definitely way overused on talent shows. Nice that this didn't get any Bottom 20 ranks though.
18. Ariana Grande f/ Mac Miller - The Way (43): While I do think this is a little too high of a ranking for this, I am shocked that this didn't make the top half last time. :o This is a solid debut/breakthrough single from her and a great way to put Ariana on the map. This is really cool and enjoyable though doesn't stand out as one of my favorites from Ariana.
17. Lady Gaga - Applause (34): Yeah true that this is far from her best, but this is still a really fun, catchy pop song from Gaga. It's fun and dancey and just got a great vibe/feel to it. Definitely and easily my favorite from her this era.
16. OneRepublic - Counting Stars (5): Eeek at the 14 spot drop here but at least it's not as bad as "Radioactive." Anyway, I do really love this and think this is a really strong and outstanding song from OneRepublic. It's got a fun feel to it with a great catchy and fun listening sound to it. One of my favorite songs of theirs.
15. Avicii - Wake Me Up (59): This is another one of those good songs that I just never loved or did that much for me. It's good, catchy and has a good feel to it. I am not too surprised with this rankingly consistenly well on both rankdowns.
14. Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks (86): Oooh I wasn't much of a fan of this song for the longest time. It's grown on me a little over time but still not much of a fan.
13. Miguel - Adorn (44): This is such a cool, smooth and slick song. Love Miguel's vocals on this and the general vibe of this. Ugh looking at my ranking now, I kinda wish I could have pushed this up a few more spots. The amount of Top 10s for this is very impressive.
12. Drake f/ Majid Jordan - Hold On, We're Going Home (41): Aww it's sad to see this miss out making the Top 10, but the 16 spot jump increase is very good and impressive. I do really like/love this song. I just dig the vibe of this and it's just so chill. It's such a cool and smooth jam from Drake. Nice at no Bottom 18 ranks for this.
11. Justin Timberlake - Mirrors (1): Ahhh dangg it, of course the song I did not want to see aka my #1, is the song that happens to drop out from making it to the Top 10. Ughhh why does this gotta happen to me? :'( Anywho, glad to see this song making it really high here once again. Sad to see it drop out from the OG's Top 10. This stands out as my favorite JT song but just an edge over a few others. Love his vocals and emotional connection to the song and just everything about this.
Remaining spots of my Top 10: 6 9 13 17 20 24 38 55 65 66 = (31.3)
Oooof this isn't the greatest but happy that I don't have any Bottom 30 rankings left. Rooting for anything in my Top 20 to win.
10. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis f/ Ray Dalton - Can't Hold Us (6): Ughh of course my favorite song of this Top 10 is the first to show up. Just my luck and how it always works out.
![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif)
Love this song and it's a really fun and catchy jam. It does go off and has that fun anthemic feel to it. Def my favorite Macklemore song.
9. Calvin Harris f/ Florence Welch - Sweet Nothing (13): Wow 5 #1s is really impressive! But dangg this is my 3rd highest song of this Top 10 and it's the second song out. This is a bummer and I feel I am gonna do so bad here, lol. But this is a really fun and entertaining song. Love how Florence sings and belts on the song and the EDM production is fun here. Yay for no Bottom 20 ranks for this!
8. Swedish House Mafia f/ John Martin - Don't You Worry Child (65): Okay yayy I'm glad that one of my lower ranks finally showed up. This is a good song and I like the message of it, but I've nevr really been that huge on this.
7. Bruno Mars - Treasure (38): I wasn't expecting this to rank so highly. I'm not mad about it as I do love Bruno and do love this song. With that said, I definitely much prefer and love his other YE hits here. But this is so fun, funky and entertaining and an all around great song from Bruno. Yay for no Bottom 15 ranks.
6. Kesha - Die Young (20): Love this song and happy to see it improve from it's OG rank about 10 spots here. This is a really fun and catchy song from Kesha. Up there as amongst one of my favorites from her.
Remaining spots of my Top 5: 9 17 24 55 66
WELL this is not a vedry good Top 5 for me.
![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif)
5. Zedd f/ Foxes - Clarity (24): Hmm okay, so the middle song for me of the remaining Top 5. I do love this and think it's a great song. I love the mix of softer moments alongside the fun EDM moments. It's got a very big booming catchy chorus, which I do love here.
4. Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven (9): Dangg my final Top 10 song left of this rankdown. :'( I was really hoping and pulling for this to win so to see it fall a little short of that is a bit of a bummer. This is such a fun, catchy and addicting jam. I do really love this from Bruno a ton and it's up there as amongst one of my favorites from him.
3. Kendrick Lamar - Swimming Pools (Drank) (66): Danggg 13 #1s for this song is insanely and super impressive! :omg: I had a feeling this song would get a lot of #1s but wasn't expecting that many, wow. The +11 spot jump increase is great too. Ouch at this getting a #100. This is a really cool and solid jam from Kendrick. I do like this and it's cool, but it's not one of my very top favorites from him.
Okay, so my #17 vs. #55. Definitely rooting for my #17 to take it.
2. Daft Punk f/ Pharrell Williams - Get Lucky (17): Happy to see this making it to #2. I was rooting for this to win out of this Top 2 but of course it's the song that loses. But honestly, I did see it coming where I saw Leo placed it as his #98 and read there was a potential #100 for this. It's so impressive this made it to #2 with those ranks but I couldn't see this winning with those ranks either.
1. Paramore - Still Into You (55): Wow at this making a +25 spot jump from #26 to #1. Who could have predicted that this would have won with its previous ranking? :o But lol yeah It is really cool to see a #100 YE winning a rankdown. With that said, I do like/really like this song. I don't love it and don't agree with it winning but it is what it is. Nothing I can do about it. This is still a really fun, catchy and entertaining song from Paramore. I do get the love for this despite it not being a favorite of mine. Woww no ranks below #61 (and no Bottom 38 ranks) - yep, that's proof that this was gonna win it.
Hmm my rankdown closeness score of 25.360 isn't too terrible and more or less expected for me to be towards the bottom, lol. Dangg bummed to have no perfect ranks. :(
This was such a fun rankdown to be apart of. Thank you so much for hosting this rankdown, wrip!
