That said, there were still some really fantastic songs written in 2014. I had planned to double or triple up on songs by certain artists, rather than having 100 songs by 100 different artists on this list, but opted for the latter after all.
Probably more songs over 5 minutes than I have had on here in any previous years, but let's not overthink that bit.
This list is also compiled as a playlist here for Rdio users.
