EOY 2014 De Standaard (BE)

[Chilton]

Belgian quality newspaper De Standaard has released a Deezer playlist with the best 40 singles of the year, probably the first EOY list that they've ever made. They don't mention ranking, so I assume it's unranked.

Eligibility criteria:
Alexa ranking (less than 1,000,000): 6828
Sites linking in (more than 100): 4031
Compiled by at least three people: Music team has about a dozen.
Reviews: not online, only printed, so I have no idea
