AMF Chart Week 45 2014
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2014 8:04 pm
Welcome to Week 45 of the AMF Chart! The chart where the EOY chart has left devastation in its wake. Only the strongest survive...
Here are your rankings for Week 44 (number of weeks on the chart so far in parentheses):
1. alt-J - "Left Hand Free" (4)
2. TV on the Radio - "Careful You" (2)
3. Sharon Van Etten - "Every Time the Sun Comes Up" (4)
4. Hozier - "Take Me to Church" (1)
4. Run the Jewels - "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)" (1)
6. Lana Del Rey - "Florida Kilos" (8)

20. Sleater-Kinney - "Surface Envy" (1)
Total Votes: 89
The top 10 songs from last week's chart went on to this week's. Four veteran songs being eliminated at once isn't a new precedence (I think), but taking out two very strong competitors past their fifth week might be. The EOY chart takes no prisoners, it seems.
