Happy’s Top 50 Songs of 2014

Phewww! 2014, what a year you’ve been! We laughed. We cried, and some more than others. But mostly, we just listened to a hell of a lot of music. Seriously, that is our job. And we love it.

2014 has been a great year in music, with many amazing emerging artists absolutely wowing us with what they’ve got, and many of our old favourites as well. All our Happy writers congregated to discuss the cream of the crop (via email), and these 50 songs below represent what we believe make up the best 2014 had to offer us in a year full of wonderful, and sometimes not so wonderful music. Here is Happy’s top 50 songs of 2014!
