Every year artists and bands release new singles all chasing the dream of the top 10 coveted spots on various charts from Billboard, iTunes ad Youtube. The higher the number the more likely the yearly awards will begin to pile up and the paychecks keep getting larger. Fans break the internet while they anxiously await the instant release of Taylor Swift, Beyonce or One Directions latest single. While those songs are amazing, we often miss cover versions of our favorite songs. Unsigned artists record and upload their cover versions of popular hit songs. Some sing the exact version while some add their own flair or change it completely and give you an entire new perspective of that infamous tune that has been stuck in your head for weeks. After searching high and low I have found some amazing versions of the most popular songs of 2014 just for you, and in no particular order, being they’re all my favorites!
