Favorite Songs of 2013

One of my favorite bloggers of 2013, Helene, is hosting a link up today!

Holla! Get ready to listen to a bunch of really good music if you're linking up with us!

Royals by Lorde

I think it's safe to say that most, if not all, of us have fallen in love with this girl's voice. She's amazeballs. AND SHE'S ONLY, like, SIXTEEN! 16. Cray. I can't wait to see what this girl has in store for us in the future.

Stubborn Love by the Lumineers

I've yet to hear a song by the Lumineers that I don't like, if not LOVE. They remind me of music from my high school years, but not nearly as emo - hahaha.

Work Bitch by Britney Spears

And then Britney gifted us with this song and the world was happy because BRITBRIT. IS. BACK. I love her. My teeny-bopper self will always love her and want to see her live. Note to self: GET TO VEGAS.

Do What U Want by Lady Gaga featuring R. Kelly

This might be one of my all time favorite Gaga songs. Her new album is fantastic. The whole thing is full of songs that make you want to get up and dance!

We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus

Would this list really be complete without Miley? Say what you will about her antics, but I've loved Miley since her Hannah Montana days. She is actually very talented and I'm excited to hear more of the Bangerz album (can't decide if I want to buy it yet or not haha).

Say Something by A Great Big World

This song has been around for a while, but thanks to So You Think You Can Dance and the AMA's it's taking over the world. It's just an amazing song. I love it.

Lose Yourself to Dance by Pharrell and Daft Punk

This match up produced two of my jams this year. Seriously. Why did it take these artists so long to make music together? So great. And any song that tells its listeners to dance is a winner in my book.

Drink You Away by Justin Timberlake

So this song may not be on the radio (YET), but he performed it at the VMAs right after my obsession started. I absolutely LOVE this song. Especially after seeing him live (2 weeks ago - omg. amazeballs).

Animals by Martin Garrix

And of course, for our link up host Helene, my favorite EDM song of the year. Seriously obsessed with this song. Can't. Get. Enough.

Are you linking up with Helene today? Are any of your favorite songs on my list?
