For music lovers, 2014 was a fantastic year with quite a few songs that topped the charts for weeks. While the music albums of big films disappointed, smaller films were helped immensely by chartbuster music.
Music plays a very important role in the success of Bollywood films. A popular song can sometimes result in films with hardly any face-value taking huge opening at the box office. Take for example ‘Galliyan’ from ‘Ek Villain’. The popularity of the song helped the film open at around the same level as Salman Khan’s Jai Ho.
Best Hindi Songs of 2014 – Top 20 List
The songs in ‘Yaariyaan’ and ‘Ragini MMS’ (Baby Doll) were also the biggest factors behind the box office success of the two films.
On the other hand, there are songs like ‘Samjhawan’ from ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ that didn’t really top the charts prior to the film’s release, but gained in popularity post release.
For the top spot, it was between ‘Samjhawan’ and ‘Galliyan’, but the latter edged ahead because of its originality.

For me it is Bhagwaan hai kaha re tu. A classic song by the ever green Sonu Nigam!
Sunny Sunny deserved a higher spot.
Do listen to “Aao Na ” from Haider. Highly under rated :/
humdard (ek villen) and lovely (hny) should be in top 10
Johnny Johnny from Entertainment was unique.
Apart from the songs in the list, one of my favourite songs of the year is “Tu” from Bobby Jasoos. I have been listening to that song for more than 1000 times, but still not fed up of it. I think you must include that song.
Arijit Singh all the way
I feel Haider and ek villian are d best albums of 2014
Hny n kick also has some footapping numbers.
Yaariyan would’t have even collected 10 crores without Honey Singh’s chartbuster songs.Baby Doll is quite overrated it should have been replaced by Tu hi tu or Tere Hoke Rahange.Roy’s songs are terrific especially Matlabi and Tu Hai ki Nahi
Where is Bang Bang title track? It was much more popular than some of these 20s.

these songs are missing….they deserve to be in the list.
I would remove “tere hoke rahengey”. That was neither that great nor that popular.
@rahul25 i agree with you Aao na is one of my fav songs. it is highly underrated song of 2014.
sunny sunny from yariyaan is copied from one pakistani song…..yo yo always copies from either hollwyood or neighbourhood :p even he copies choreography scene by scene :p
angrezi beat & 4 bottle vodka is my fvrt yo yo song.
i’m waiting for AR rehman,arijit singh & amit trivedi to compose an album together :)
