Top 40 of 2013: #1

2013 IN 40 SONGS

2013 is almost ending. It's time to celebrate and remember the good things this year has brought. Sounds European! looked back on the songs which were presented here during this period – almost 700 – and selected the 40 best ones (in the editors' opinions). Until December 31st, this top 40 will review some of the coolest artists and tracks which were seen here during the year.

Our first place is a song which touched us deeply. The lyrics are great; the voice, too, and the clip makes it all even deeper. It has the full package, and it totally deserves the honor of being Sounds European!'s first song of the year.

1st place: Ireland | Hozier - "Take me to church"
