Probably the first memorable song to enter the charts
Thrift Shop by Macklemore (Macklemore and Ryan Lewis)thrift shop link
This song was catchy and at some points annoying but it was just the basics for the great music that would come from Macklemore.
Including : Same Love & Wings .
Now you may know this song as the overplayed dance song
The Harlem shake linkHarlem Shake.
i just personally thought it should have more words (since it was played on the radio.
Anyways this song inspired many dance videos and never seemed to go away
but finally it did .
Thank God.

Now this is more of a genre , not my normal genre , yet still
influential on many internet addicted teens. This includes
Pierce the Veil , Black Veil Brides , Fall Out Boy , and many others.
These are the so called "emo" bands , and are often known to make
real , raw music . At least that is what the fans of the music have seemed
by these 4 boys , on the 1D TMH tour. An opening act to begin
but this song and some of there others also was a reason some came to the concerts.
Picked by two One Direction members for the tour these Australians
5sos had
a massive success with Heartbreak Girl this year .This song
was also covered by Australian youtuber Troye Sivan

Two songs that became popular around the same time were
Beneath Your Beautiful by Labrinth ft. Emeli Sande ,
and Just Give Me A Reason by P!nk ft. Nate Ruess .
These two songs were different from eachother , but being
released at the same time caused a great fight for number 1 spot
Kiss You by One Direction the last song to be released off
of the Take Me Home album. (One Way Or Another was a charity single for
Red Nose Day and is not included on an album)
This song was still a pop song that we could expect to come from One Direction.
Still it blew minds all over the
world and broke records with the amount of views it got.
The album Prism by Katy Perry was also released this year.
It includes hits like Roar, and Unconditionally .
This album was Katy Perry's new outlook on things and was
a very empowering album for a young female mind.

Miley Cyrus with Wrecking Ball and We Can't Stop.
I loved the actual Wrecking Ball song , but the more memorable part
of these songs were the music videos/performances that came
along with them . The memories of Hannah Montana are gone
and this marketing genius has left a permanent mark on this
A group known for their covers
Boyce Avenue also had some great
boyce avenue
success this year . They take the popular pop song and make it pleasurable
to the more indie group of music lovers. So congratulations
to them changing a song for mostly the better.
Selena Gomez Stars Dance, was an amazing album an amazing tour
and made by an amazing person . Selena Marie Gomez released her
album this year on July 23rd. This album includes hits like
Come And Get It and
Slow Down. My guess is in 2014
we'll have even more rocking movies from Selena , because with her
the possibilities (
Selena's youtube )
are endless.
Best Song Ever was the first song released off of Midnight Memories,
It shattered records , as did Story Of My Life . and the rest
of the album. Midnight Memories featured a very different look at the One Direction
boys musical style . Story of My Life just an introduction to the more
rocky/edgy songs that would be on the album . From Best Song Ever to Half A Heart
every track is different and will blow even more minds in 2014.
This song has great lyrics and background music, but Lorde
distracted us from that by bashing many artists music while ridng

I know I know i didn't write about
Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke .
So here, a sexist degrading song that topped the charts all summer even with
it's untasteful lyrics.
One of the lasted songs to top the charts.
Our One Republic boys have come back and
prouduced another outstanding , and catchy track , that
A song released today (December 29th ) . It's not on the radios,
but it does what this post does , summarize 2013.
Troye Sivan The 2013 Song is a sequel to the 2012 song , that Troye
released last year. It talks about things like Miley , Gays , and Nelson Mandela's passing.
This song is so easy to listen to and it's a great summary of our pop
culture this year.
The 2013 song
That is just some of the music good/bad from the historic year of 2013. Check all these put to relive a year in music.
