This song and artist is very overrated by the Buzzjack masses. It is not deserving of #4 imo but it is one of her better songs. If only Radioactive did as well as Primadonna in the real charts - oh well at least Rita Ora and Imagine Dragons have taken note and made their own song of the same title.

Think the Top 3'll look like this:

1. 212

2. Latch

3. Little Talks

 

GWON LATCH

 

03 - Of Monsters And Men "Little Talks"

Just beating Marina into the top 3 is the breakthrough single from Of Monsters And Men. One of the better indie songs of the year with a nice catchy hook, great lyrics and contrast between the male and female vocals. They have not had a top 40 hit since.

So what song will be #1 on this countdown? 212 or Latch? Azealia or Disclosure?

A recent song here from British duo Disclosure with their breakthrough hit "Latch". A great example of soulful vocals mixed with a chilled electronic beat, something we don't often hear in the chart. I really love this song and it was amazing to see it blow up - going top 40 on iTunes before I had even know about Latch's existance!

 

01 - Azealia Banks feat. Lazy Jay "212"

And the obvious predictable winner wins! One of my favourite songs of last year, it missing out on the official top 10 was criminal - iirc it went as high as #6 in the iTunes chart! Azealia has not had a chart hit since. However the featured artist Lazy Jay recently went to #1 as a producer on will.i.am's "Scream & Shout".

 

Full chart will be appearing in the first post :D
