ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2014

FWIW Blank Space is the first TS song I've ever put on intentionally. It's not exactly good but it's catchy in a more purely pop way than like Trouble. Haven't heard Style yet.

Yeah Shake It Off is way better than this

I think she does but were is the R sound coming from? I don't want to listen to it again.

Style is hte one where I was genuinely puzzled by all the admiration from TS stans

and yeah I couldn't not hear Starbucks lovers until like the 20th listen

well that's silly, listen to the guitar xpost

Do you know what she said? "Gunga galunga. Gunga gunga lagunga."

q: the blank space in the song - does that refer to swift writing a bunch of breakup songs and leaving a blank space for the person's name so that they're all ready to go the next time a relationship collapses?

No it's about the blank space at the top of a Starbucks cup - she's a barista in the song

A pretty face and an average voice will take you places.

Shake It Off is totally different! Breaks up the record nicely, would get a bit samey without it despite the greatness of the middle run.

what makes style is the guitar line obviously

Boys only want cups with a tortilla / Don't say I didn't warn ya

Agree with J0rdan S. on "Blank Space." I don't hate it, it just sounds sort of generic.

damn, "Accidental Racist" will never be the same

vermillion is cool

lol xp

Got to say that for an 11min squally folk epic with terrible singing about alcoholism that Richard Dawson song is actually really stealthily catchy. Like the melody really stuck in my head.

that screencap is not promising

thats a press photo not a screencap fwiw

this song is

1) corny
2) highly enjoyable

vermillion is nice. she lists the singles jukebox review on her www

This song is good, but I never knew what they looked like before now. Definitely a detriment.

My number 1. It's just such a perfectly produced song and it ruled my summer (and my autumn nd a good chunk of my winter). Love the way the initial violin vamp gets passed on from instrument to instrument as the song goes on. Love 'we never hesitate/kyoto to du-bay'. Love the 'DUN-DUN' piano just before the chorus. Love it all.

I liked this when it came out a year ago but it has had serious diminishing returns.

The photo choices have been excellent.

this song seems to have some p fun beeps and boops I guess

the guy in the far right

1) is cute
2) is playing an Astroturf violin

deej did you vote this year?

also some fun clicky clacks

Did not get the hype for this the first time I heard it but after hearing out a fair bit throughout the year it crept up on me and has become one of my favourite songs of the year. Still really surprised just how big it was in the UK. It's already one of the 50 best selling singles ever there.

Still love this, they can priss around all they want in the verses because that's just one hell of a killer chorus. Deserved to be the massive hit it was.

lol alfred

i can easily see the appeal of this tbh

wow 213M views, hm

Only two first place votes tho?

it's actually tsarbucks lovers, guys

oh this song

Do we have a surge of nü-British posters? Feel like that's the explanation for these awful top 20 results

is london ilx still a thing

Girl is gorgeous. Is that the vocalist on the screencap?

"Lights" - "Call Me Maybe" = this song

hate the cutesy John Lewis idea of Clean Bandit but this song is great

This song is alright, but I got a bit tired of that period where ads for it would keep popping up on my YouTube.

i love the lyrics, it's just a very happy song. i realized it was one of my songs of the year when i was out drunk and got so happy to hear a remix of it playing that i cried a little.

i have no interest in clean bandit otherwise

ugh
