OneRepublic – Year Of 2014


Hits 1 counted down their Top 45 today on Christmas Day. They did it differently this year than they did last year. Last year, it was based on the Wutchuwant Crew. But this year, it was based on airplay. I don't necessarily think this countdown was worth my time. Nothing made me really happy. But whatever. I will blog it anyways. So let's get to this year's Fresh 45. (NOTE: The parenthetical number, the number that usually indicates where the song was last week, in this case, will indicate the spot the song peaked at.)

Last Year's #1 Song: Fall Out Boy – My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)

Merry Blurbmas
~ I'm kinda surprised Disclosure/Sam Smith – Latch, Calvin Harris – Summer, and Neon Trees – Sleeping With A Friend didn't make it into the Top 45.

~ As you can probably tell, some of these songs Hits 1 ranked appeared in last year's rankings. Songs like Avicii/Aloe Blacc – Wake Me Up, Fall Out Boy – Alone Together, MKTO – Classic, and Olly Murs – Dance With Me Tonight are all songs returning from last year's year-end rankings.

~ Yes, the horrifying AJR – I'm Ready somehow found a spot onto the Top 45. Very unpleasing.

~ I really think songs like Nico and Vinz – Am I Wrong and Eminem/Rihanna – The Monster should've been ranked higher.

~ Maroon 5 – Maps was ranked at #11, the same spot in which Maroon 5 – Love Somebody was ranked last year.

~ Passenger – Let Her Go was definitely ranked way too high.

~ Midnight Red – Hell Yeah and AJR – I'm Ready are the only two songs that peaked at a spot lower than #10.

~ What do I think of our #1 song? I'm not annoyed about it. It's alright. During the time after it left the countdown, I started to enjoy it again. Will I be playing that song on repeat everyday? Definitely not. But it's okay to hear every now and then. Then again, I must look back at what I thought of the song when I first heard it. Technically, I knew the song before it even became popular, in case you didn't know.

~ I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. :)

My Top 5 Picks
1. Eminem/Rihanna – The Monster
2. Nico and Vinz – Am I Wrong
3. Maroon 5 – Maps
4. Taylor Swift – Shake It Off
5. Glenn Morrison/Islove – Goodbye

  3. Really shocked that Shake It Off-Taylor Swift didn't even make the top 10 after setting the record for most weeks at #1 on here..

    1. I was a little shocked at first. But, then again, it's based on airplay for the whole year.
      Shake It Off hasn't really been around for the whole year, but it ranked pretty high for a song that wasn't released until August.

  4. I know it's gonna be Blank Space or Centuries.

    Probably the former, as T-Swift seems to have become Hits 1's "bae."

    But, I have hope Centuries can squeeze in at least a week on top.

    1. And, that's the way it is...

      Adrian, I've a question: have there been any other artists on the Weekend Countdown that have replaced themselves at #1?

      Delete
    2. Yes. Sometime in 2012, Maroon 5 – One More Night replaced Maroon 5 – Payphone at the top spot. As far as I know, Taylor Swift may be the first female artist to replace herself at the top.

    3. Your kidding me 2 ari songs left and last week blame got the jump and this week got the drop

      Delete
    4. Not blank space this stinks I want uptown funk to be 1 if it is I will be happy and have a dance party

      Delete
    5. Uptown Funk will probably hit #1 either next week or the week after.
      When it comes to my opinions, I want Centuries to hit #1 for at least a week and Animals to pull a Rude, as in make a huge drop to #44 or something.
