musician of the year 2014 for this video

musicians who we thought had the highest
profiles this year but there can be only

music man with mojo if I told you that a
flower will bloom in a dark room would
you trust it not being outright forms
and team somes the nominees for 2014’s

Sam Smith pharrell williams Kendrick
Lamar ed Sheeran and Weird Al Yankovic
when I met you in the summer
so mohave it sound the world’s
top-earning DJ for the second year
running calvin harris is certainly
riding the momentum releasing his fourth
album motion at the end of October The
Scotsman became the first act to have
three songs simultaneously on
Billboard’s dance/electronic Songs chart
with blame summer when imagine in summer
and outside
some are also proved to be Spotify stop
urning song of 2014 that plus a public
breakup from Rita Ora and a deal to
become an Armani model put him over the
top in 2014 let me see how big your
mouth is a couple weeks only want to see
her with drink away the days with the
takeaway pizza nominated for Best New
Artist at the 2014 grammys this adorable
Englishman is finally getting his due to
having us ed Sheeran released his second
record in 2014 and multiply became the
fastest-selling album of the year in the
United Kingdom Sharon showed off his
trademark eclectic style with funky
Dancy tunes like sing let it go and set
up over the chain singing we found up in
an occupational bitter breakup songs
like don’t but you didn’t need to take
him to bed that soul and the Never storm
is a threat and romantic love ballads
like thinking out loud maybe it’s all
part of
continuing to pen songs for artists like
one direction as well Sharon is on our a
team for 2014 they say she’s in the
class 18 precious oh fuck did you want
to trip him everything if buzz were our
only criteria Kendrick Lamar would be a
shoo-in sure he hasn’t released an album
since 2012 match but that doesn’t mean
he’s not busy with seven Grammy nods
under his belt this year Andruw Lamar
Lamar was a featured artist on more
songs in 2014 than we care to list
including but not limited to Jasmine v’s
that’s me right there earlier the mall
with it I brace yourself memory just
soap and Alicia Keys it’s on again not
with the turban is only last a minute
man Don your dreams of recognizing
lyrics the chatter he’s elicited based
on just one official single as a lead
artist in 2014 is a testament to his
talent all my life I want money and I
respect my mind knowing that from lash
out how’s that kind of rap is just the
best to keep her sandwich nice and fresh
stick it in your koon
weird al is a pretty well weird choice
for an artist of the year list but hear
us out he’s been putting out pitch
perfect parodies since the late 70s and
this year he scored his first ever
number-one album with mandatory fun
al’s still got his finger on the pulse
of what’s funny and popular which he
proved by performing with fellow musical
funny man andy samberg at the 2014 emmy
awards to attach to a certain guy and
he’s got social media figured out that’s
why he released eight videos over eight
days just to get people talking if only
for his catchy grammar lessons okay now
here’s the deal i’ll try to educate you
weird al is a contender for music man
with mojo
that’s what you owe we’re now into the
big leagues and onto our runner-up
pharrell williams
pharrell got very lucky this year not
only did he join the voice to coach up
and cummers how seriously are you going
to be able to take this guy when he’s
giving you some heartfelt speech and
you’re waiting for him to make you an
Arby’s roast beef sandwich he also made
his own music
he released the album girl in March
which featured his 2013 hit happy along
with tracks like Marilyn Monroe and come
get it big then there’s the production
work Oscar nod Grammy wins Major Lazer
collapse when I was young them a day I
had to read for house I catch a contact
and talk like eek a mouse and oh yeah he
Co composed the music for the amazing
spider-man 2
suffice it to say Pharrell must have
been happy this year so who could
possibly beat such a year this year’s
music man with mojo is Sam Smith a film
don’t wanna see the numbers I wanna see
in 2014 North America finally discovered
what Brits have known for a while Sam
Smith is awesome releasing his debut
studio album in the lonely hour this
year Smith bucked the trend towards papi
electronica sounds by producing soulful
bluesy introspective singer-songwriter
music no money on my mind honey on my
mind no I have no money on the mom
telling the story of his unrequited love
for another man Smith’s record is the
third highest selling album of 2014
behind only the frozen soundtrack
and taylor swift’s 1989 winning fans
with his honesty in songs like stay with
me and I’m not the only one
me I know
this self-proclaimed male diva scooped
award after award genuinely from my
heart I didn’t think I was gonna be
winning this this is unreal we can only
imagine what’s next for him our music
