Top 20 Best Hit Songs Of 2014 Part 2 (10-1)

 A genre of hip-hop that has become very mainstream as of late is drill music, with the success of Pop Smoke and other rappers making it such as Lil Durk. And drill is a style of hip-hop I enjoy a lot and am happy it is as big as it is right now.  You know what may have opened the doors for this to happen even if it took years afterward to happen? 10. Hot N*gga - Bobby Shmurda This is just one hell of a drill banger, with an immaculate dramatic and threatening atmosphere that Bobby Shmurda fits into perfectly and just absolutely EATS. It's a song that's all about the bombast and threatening atmosphere and it works incredibly well in doing so. But also, I actually like the lyrics. They give me a view into the brain of a gangster who sells drugs in order to survive and kills people in order to keep himself alive. And it does so incredibly well. The atmosphere and the lyrics match together incredibly well. Also it has very iconic and quotable lines like "MITCH CAUGHT A BODY &

The Top 20 Best Hit Songs Of 2014 - Part 1 (20-11)

Hey everyone, Drake known online as Urtar Reviews here and today I'm finally bringing you my list of my favorite hit songs of 2014. As I said in my worst list, 2014 is considered by most in this community to be a pretty bad year for the hot 100, one of the worst of the 2010s. And I wildly disagree. While there was a few songs I hated, there weren't that many and the year both had a large number of songs I love, but also had some really high highs. 2014 gives 2013 competition as far as my favorite year of the 2010s for pop music goes. Also expect to see a lot of uncommon picks or common picks for worst lists in this community here as 2014 is a year I have a lot of unpopular opinions for.  As usual songs have to have debuted on the Jan-Dec 2014 Year End chart or make the Billboard 2014 Year End Hot 100 and not have made any Jan-Dec Year End chart to be eligible. And this is all my opinion, music is totally subjective and you are totally free to disagree with me.  Without further
