OPC Pop 40 of 2014

A total of 110 pop songs made it as an Overall Pick this year on OPC Hits. Scores were tabulated and the entries were ranked to find out which among them made it to the year-end Top 40. Making it to the list are two Pinoy tunes (with the highest going deep inside the Top 10), five artists with multiple entries (counting tracks they were featured in), and even one entry which was also in last year's annual chart!

Taking the coveted #1 spot this year is a fun song which perfectly captures the elements of the modern pop song, while also educating us with the terms that we need to know. Here is the OPC Pop 40 of 2014, fittingly topped by Marianas Trench's "Pop 101" barely featuring Anami Vice. (By the way, what's up with the word "barely" on the credit for the featured artist?)
