Fact Top 50 Songs & Top 50 Albums of 2014

A bit of electronic and dance music. These Spotify playlists are based on Fact Magazine lists of The 50 Best Tracks and The 50 Best Albums of 2014. #1s go to Skepta (songs) and Sun Kil Moon (album), while most of the artists/albums/tracks are not present in the other eoy lists I've already spotified.

There’s a sense (...) that it was a vintage year for dance albums. (...) two huge Warp records missed the mark, a clutch of debuts from underground stars left us somewhat colder than the frothing write-ups elsewhere might suggest, and even the first Theo Parrish LP in yonks fell short. But it was a commendably strong showing overall, with plenty of great records failing to penetrate the Top 50.

Enjoy!

Fact Magazine The 50 Best Pharrell Tracks

From Fact Magazine:

It’s no exaggeration to call The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo) the most successful pop producers of the early ’00s – it’s pretty much a fact, with the duo gridlocking the Billboard charts in 2002 and 2003 with a run of hits that even Timbaland couldn’t match. Add to that Pharrell’s status as one of hip-hop’s most in-demand hook men (and, you know, owner of one of the world’s most in-demand faces). (...) Nobody was delivering hits like this guy. With his new solo album GIRL ready to take the world by storm (...) we thought it was about time to look back and rank his 50 greatest moments as a producer, singer, rapper and songwriter, ranging from 1993 to 2013.

Go to Fact Magazine, for many additional infos & context for each track. And listen to the playlist below, where I collected all the tracks I found on Spotify. Get Lucky, too. But definitely not on top.

Enjoy.
