February 19, 201510 yr Author #23: All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor 7PCkvCPvDXk Year of release: 2014 Peak: #1 One of the biggest hits of 2014, All About That Bass was the first song ever to reach the top 40 on streaming alone. It also went Platinum in the UK.
February 20, 201510 yr Author #22: Changing by Sigma featuring Paloma Faith oAeotgCHL3E Year of release: 2014 Peak: #1 After having the absolute worst number one of 2014 and a huge letdown from two great artists at the top spot, we finally got a good number one (this). Personally I prefer this to Nobody To Love (though I love that too). Not really feeling Higher right now though.
February 20, 201510 yr Author #21: I Won't Let You Go by Snow Patrol plUTOMoUsxA Year of release: 2014 Peak: N/A Just missing on the top 20 is a song from the soundtrack to Divergent, Snow Patrol's I Won't Let You Go. Unfortunately they didn't release it as a single. Instead Ellie Goulding's Beating Heart was released, and reached #9 before dropping fast. Thankfully Love Me Like You Do did much better. Meanwhile, Snow Patrol will release the follow-up to Fallen Empires this year, it being their seventh album.
February 21, 201510 yr Those Sats tracks are good, esp. Not Giving Up :D but haven't heard CTS yet. These Days is really good :D and thank GOD it stopped Band Aid from getting #1 again :drama: I still like Happy even though it's SOOO overrated :drama: In fact I like all up to #22 (haven't heard #21 yet :unsure:) How did Hall Of Fame, from 2012, reach so high in your 2014 chart? :lol: The Script is great :D and I played a few of their tracks on plug.dj but they got mehd off :nocheer: Edited February 21, 201510 yr by §þiŋŋiŋğ Åđɑм

February 21, 201510 yr Author #20: Mirror Man by Ella Henderson wxNeXwNW478 Year of release: 2014 Peak: N/A Soon to be released as a single, Mirror Man is the second best track on Chapter One, behind her first single. It is also Ella Henderson's fourteenth appearance in this countdown.
February 21, 201510 yr Author #19: Sing by Travis eYO1-gGWJyo Year of release: 2001 Peak: #3 Travis's highest peaking single, this is one of my favourite songs ever. Unfortunately another song of the same name vastly inferior to this one reached number one last year (though it is much better than the excruciating other number one of last year by the same artist).
February 21, 201510 yr Author #18: Juliet by Lawson 1V18P7JkAuA Year of release: 2013 Peak: #3 2013: #7 Another number three single with Lawson's sixth single Juliet. Also, since this Lawson haven't released anything, it's starting to become a little concerning. Edited February 21, 201510 yr by Taylor Jago
February 22, 201510 yr Author #17: Won't Look Back by Duke Dumont kv_cwzAIOHs Year of release: 2014 Peak: #2 Duke Dumont's third single, this was number one on the midweeks, but some garbage called Prayer In C (Robin Schulz Remix) which is basically the same line repeated 24 times overtook it by Sunday. Probably the biggest number two injustice of the year. Perhaps even more unfairly, this spent only 6 weeks in the top 100.
February 22, 201510 yr Author #16: Chandelier by Sia 2vjPBrBU-TM Year of release: 2014 Peak: #6 After a song which dropped out of the top 40 four weeks after entering, a song which entered in July and hasn't left the top 40 once: Chandelier. The video is a bit strange (specifically the girl in the video) but the song is amazing and definitely deserves the success it has had.
February 22, 201510 yr Author #15: That Don't Impress Me Much (Dance Version) by Shania Twain mWjVQlSruY8 Year of release: 1997 (album release) 1999 (single release) Peak: #3 The seventh best-selling single of 1999, it entered at #3 behind Byzone "You Needed Me" and Geri Halliwell "Look At Me". However, it sold 763,000 copies during 1999, whilst You Needed Me and Look At Me both sold less than 380,000, so in the end this outsold both combined. Twain had a second #3 hit in 1999, Man! I Feel Like A Woman, which didn't match That Don't Impress Me Much's success but ended at #47 on the year-end chart of 1999, whilst You Needed Me was at #49 and Look At Me wasn't in the top 50. In the end, That Don't Impress Me Much outsold 29 out of the 35 number-ones of 1999, and every number two. To date, it has sold 840,000 copies, according to this thread
February 22, 201510 yr Author #14: You Got The Love (Now Voyager Mix) by The Source featuring Candi Staton x7dMGw3uzEU Year of release: 1991 Peak: #3 The last song in this countdown from the 1990s, and the last song from the 20th century (in fact the last song earlier than 2013).
February 23, 201510 yr Author #13: Superheroes by The Script WIm1GgfRz6M Year of release: 2014 Peak: #3 Another great song which on the chart update was doing battle for the top spot with Duke Dumont's "Won't Look Back" before the absolutely crap Prayer In C (Robin Schulz Remix) overtook them both. Still, while Won't Look Back dropped like a rock, this held up well, and ended up spending more weeks in the top 40 than Prayer In C (but that, alas, was before the latter spent another three weeks in the top 40. Another three weeks where I had to suffer that abomination.)
February 23, 201510 yr Author #12: Holding Onto Heaven by Foxes qklYTlTSeJc Year of release: 2014 Peak: #14 Foxes's first appearance in the top 20 (she will be appearing later on), Holding Onto Heaven is probably one of the most underrated songs of the year. It is the only song in the top 15 to have not made the top 10.
February 23, 201510 yr Author #11: Only Love Can Hurt Like This by Paloma Faith PaKr9gWqwl4 Year of release: 2014 Peak: #6 Just missing out on the top 10 is Paloma Faith with the amazing Only Love Can Hurt Like This. Despite it having quite a lot of success, I feel like it's underrated and I never have been bored of it. It's a classic.

February 23, 201510 yr Author #10: Problem by Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea iS1g8G_njx8 Year of release: 2014 Peak: #1 When I heard about this song I thought it would be awful. When I heard it, I absolutely loved it. This was the first number one based on both sales and streaming (as the OCC endlessly pointed out on just about every article which mentioned Ariana Grande).
February 23, 201510 yr Author #9: Wild Heart by The Vamps sCDdQwVRwxM Year of release: 2014 Peak: #3 The Vamps's second single, this entered at #3, before dropping quickly. Still, at least this time I didn't predict it would do 2-17-58-OUT.
February 24, 201510 yr Author #8: Stay With Me by Sam Smith pB-5XG-DbAA Year of release: 2014 Peak: #1 Funnily enough, this lands in this countdown exactly at the same position it landed on the year-end chart for 2014 (sales only). This has spent over 40 weeks in the top 40, and even on sales alone has only left the top 40 for 3 weeks, so it's clearly a song the UK isn't getting bored of.
