The Best & Worst Of 2014

2014 has seen some amazing music, film and television. It has also been home to some usually great things, plumet.

It was a great year for music with the return of many worldwide superstars in the charts. However it was a chance download of Damien Rice's first album in 8 years that has taken my top spot this year. Its entire 8 tracks are all works of art. Sam Smith's debut album, 'In The Lonley Hour', just narrowly missed the top 5, but only because the competition was so strong.

1. My Favourite Faded Fantasy - Damien Rice
2. Partners - Barbra Streisand
3. Ghost Stories - Coldplay
4. Art Official Age - Prince
5. Symphonica - George Michael

This year had some amazing singles amidst a sea of crap like 'Anaconda' and 'All About That Bass'.

1. Stay With Me - Sam Smith
2. Midnight - Coldplay
3. All Of Me - John Legend
4. Love Never Felt So Good - Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake
5. Love Runs Out - OneRepublic

I haven't seen many movies this year but what I did see was amazing. 'Interstellar' was definately my film of the year. Runners up include 'Amazing Spiderman 2' and 'The Maze Runner'. 

The best TV show this year has to be Game Of Thrones Season 4. It was amazing and gripped everyone from beginning to end. Also amazing was the Family Guy/Simpsons cross over.

However this year saw 'The Walking Dead' and 'Grey's Anatomy' grow boring and predictable. The same for Michael Jackson's posthumous release 'Xscape'.

Mariah Carey & John Legend - When Christmas Comes

Here is the new single from Mariah Carey and John Legend. The song, which was issued to iTunes yesterday, will appear on Carey’s ‘Merry Christmas II You’ deluxe edition as well as Legend’s first Holiday album. Both records will debut next year. This is one of many Christmas albums this year. First was Justin Bieber's awkward to listen to 'Under The Mistletoe', then Lady Gaga's 'Very Gaga Holiday' (which apart from the title seems to be set to be a great 4-track album). This on the other hand is just two talented people making some lovely music.
