TOP 100 SONGS OF
2014
#40 A NIGHT TO REMEMBER Mary J. Blige
The Queen of Hip Hop covered Shalamar's 1982 funky hit for the 'Think Like A Man Too' soundtrack album. Mary J. Blige gives the classic a fresh sound without changing too much of the original's appeal.

#39 PUSH IT Salt 'N' Pepa
Influential rap trio Salt 'N' Pepa returned to the ARIA charts with its 1988 smash "Push It" due to the song's use in a car commercial in 2014.

#38 TRAVESTY Jimmy Somerville
The unmistakeable voice of the former lead singer from Bronski Beat and The Communards burst forth on the glorious 2014 song "Travesty". With this track, Jimmy Somerville previewed his forthcoming disco album which will hopefully be unleashed in 2015. More people need to be aware of this retro release.

#37 STAY AWAKE Guena LG featuring Bryan Rice
French dance DJ and producer Guena LG released "Stay Awake". from his 'Momentum' EP. The lead vocals are delivered by Danish pop singer Bryan Rice. A sadly overlooked electronic/ dance highlight from 2013-4.

#36 i'M EVERY WOMAN / RESPECT Aretha Franklin
The legendary R&B vocalist Aretha Franklin transforms "I'm Every Woman", made famous by Chaka Khan and Whitney Houston, in her inimitable way and meshes it with her own anthem "Respect". This medley is featured on her 2014 diva classics tribute album.
