2013 – A Year In Review

2013 was a great year. First off, we had some new breakthrough artists such as Imagine Dragons. There were some unexpected hits such as Fall Out Boy – My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up). We've had songs that jumped all over the countdown such as Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding – I Need Your Love. I found the best song of the year (To be revealed when I post My Top 45 Songs Of The Year) and the worst song of the year (To be revealed as you keep reading).

A lot of songs have achieved the #1 spot this year. Some were good, some were bad, some were actually popular, some were just random. Without further ado, here are the songs that achieved #1 this year.

• Imagine Dragons – Radioactive (8 Weeks)
• Katy Perry – Roar (7 Weeks)
• Fall Out Boy – My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up) (6 Weeks)
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Wanz – Thrift Shop (4 Weeks)
• Ke$ha – Die Young (4 Weeks)
• Avicii feat. Aloe Blacc – Wake Me Up (4 Weeks)
• Taylor Swift – I Knew You Were Trouble (4 Weeks)
• P!nk feat. Nate Ruess – Just Give Me A Reason (3 Weeks)
• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton – Can't Hold Us (3 Weeks)
• Olly Murs – Troublemaker (1 Week)
• Olly Murs – Dance With Me Tonight (1 Week)
• Maroon 5 – Daylight (1 Week)
• Lorde – Royals (1 Week)
• OneRepublic – Counting Stars (1 Week)
• Imagine Dragons – Demons (1 Week)
• Fall Out Boy – Alone Together (1 Week)
• Pitbull feat. Ke$ha – Timber (1 Week)

Congrats to all those songs. Now there were a lot of songs I didn't like at first but I did eventually. And there were a few songs that I absolutely hated and still hate. It was actually hard for me to pick five songs I didn't like. But I managed. Here they are. (#1 being the worst.)

One song had the shortest tenure of 2013. It was a good one. And I was disappointed it lasted so short. Unfortunately, our shortest tenure song lasted two weeks.

2013 Shortest Tenured Song: Rihanna feat. David Guetta – Right Now (2 Weeks) 

We must honor this song as it did its best.

One song had the longest tenure of 2013. It was also a good one. It was the first song to last a full year!
