When Harris is popping, he’s really popping. Calvin Harris – “Summer”īehold a baldfaced but successful attempt at a summer smash. The best DJ Mustard ripoff to somehow not hit it big this year. Maddie & Tae – “Girl In A Country Song”Ī clever rejoinder to bro-country, and at least as well-constructed as most of the songs it’s poking fun at. It perfectly captures a universal feeling what more do you want from a song? 47. 5 Seconds Of Summer – “Amnesia”Įvery bit as melodramatic as a teenage breakup anthem should be. Dierks Bentley – “Drunk On A Plane”Ī gimmicky goofball story-song about one of those endless summer beach parties the likes of which dominate country radio, only with underlying heartache. Kiesza – “Hideaway”Įven without the unforgettable video, “Hideaway” is a sinewy beast of a house track. That means no “Fight Night,” no “About The Money,” and no Bobby Shmurda, who I even wrote about in this column after he scored a top-10 hit if that seems arbitrary, well, lists are arbitrary! Enjoy this one, and offer your own in the comments. I opted not to include any straight-up rap songs - or at least no grimy street rap - because we already rounded up the year in hip-hop, albeit with an albums list rather than a songs list.

(No “Latch,” though, because come on American radio programmers, that song is old.) There’s also a lot of music here that didn’t crack the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 - country songs (Eric Church, Maddie & Tae), R&B songs (Jeremih, Zendaya), and ostensibly “indie” songs that are nonetheless aiming to be part of the pop sphere (Ryn Weaver, Lana Del Rey). There are several #1 singles in the mix, as well as songs released last year that reached peak saturation in 2014. (There’s still hope for you, Jessie Ware! Look at “Latch”!) Let’s think of it as songs you might hear on the radio, songs everybody knows, or songs that seem designed to be hits even if they didn’t quite make it.
(“Bang Bang,” though it didn’t crack this list, earned a begrudging place in my heart that way.) This list, like this column, deals with “pop” as a cultural center point - the vaguely defined “mainstream,” if you will, or songs that are aiming to be part of it - even if pop as a concept “ went on hiatus” this year, and a variety of radio formats means there are actually many mainstreams. There will be a lot of overlap, of course, partly because sometimes great songs get popular and partly because sometimes popular songs that initially strike you as insufferable end up wearing you down through sheer persistence. Two weeks ago we looked at the year’s biggest pop songs now let’s run down the best ones.
