Noisey released its end of the year collection of the top 25 songs from 2014 recently, and there is a great mix of hip-hop, punk and indie rock tracks. Big names like Nicki Minaj, St. Vincent and Taylor Swift were included alongside Sylvan Esso, Beach Slang and Body Count. Atlanta's own iLoveMakonnen topped the list with his tune "Club Goin' Up (on a Tuesday)" featuring Drake.
"The success of 'Tuesday,' which went from just-slightly-more-than-homemade weirdo artifact to Drake-featuring radio smash to Grammy-nominated late night show performance material, was as improbable as having a wild party on the slowest night of the week right under the nose of your parole officer. But it wasn't unwarranted," Noisey wrote about the top song.
Check out the full list below.
