The moment you've all been eagerly anticipating! Well, maybe not, but if you were, then my Best Songs of 2013 list is here!! There were lots and lots of songs that just sat in the top 40 for the entire year, so picking only 40 songs to represent this year was difficult (ranking them was even more of a challenge), but I do believe that I've compiled an accurate list of popularity, quality, sales, airplay, and streaming. From Bruno Mars to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, from Katy Perry to Miley Cyrus, see which songs made the biggest splash of 2013! (Disclaimer: "Harlem Shake" doesn't count because it was a dance fad/viral video, and people were interested in the dance, not the 15-second song behind it. I apologize if this upsets any of you). This list is complete with Billboard Hot 100 Peak, Billboard Year-End Placement, and Total US Sales.
