It’s that time of the year again, where websites, blogs, news media outlets and generally happy people endeavor into creating their Best Of The Year lists, highlighting works that will surely stand as their choices for high-water marks for music in 2014. You’ll find a fairly diverse range of opinions, but all of their choices contain within the power, beauty and commitment to the art form, no matter how you chose to consume music these days. So, go ahead – choose a list. Many of them link up to a Spotify or Rdio or YouTube playlist so you can hear and see people’s choices. The big winners from the critics include Beck, Lana Del Rey, FKA twigs, Perfume Genius, The War On Drugs, Run the Jewels, St. Vincent, and a whole lotta Taylor Swift. But, above all, you’ll no doubt find one or two hidden gems in each critic’s choices. I’ll be updating this list daily, so if you have a list published, or want to direct me to one, please let me know!
But first, here are a few digital companies that have released their year-end data dumps on what the world was watching, listening to and searching for over the past year.
