Next week, we'll jump into The Daily Wreck's Best of 2014! In the meantime, here are some other enjoyable "best of"s from around the web.
1. FiveThirtyEight's "There Are Way Too Many 'Best of 2014' Lists"
What you get: Condensed lists! Statistics! Charts! A way to argue that, objectively, Boyhood must be the best film of the year.
What you don't get: Commentary on what makes these things so great, anyway.
2. John Allison's Album Chart of the Year (20-11) (10-1)
What you get: Drawings of Allison-verse characters dancing! What more could you possibly want?
What you don't get: Unlike in years past, there's no commentary from characters Shauna and Charlotte, which is a bit disappointing.
3. Said the Gramophone's Best Songs of 2014
What you get: Free music accompanied by artful prose. Also, occasional oblivious misogyny. But, free music!
What you don't get: The list includes no more than one song per artist. Also, why no Jenny Lewis?
4. TV.com's Top 100 of Everything of 2014 (100-91) (90-81) (80-71) (70-61) (60-51) (50-41) (40-31) (30-21) (20-11) (10-1)

4. TV.com's Top 100 of Everything of 2014 (100-91) (90-81) (80-71) (70-61) (60-51) (50-41) (40-31) (30-21) (20-11) (10-1)
What you get: A list that goes both bigger and smaller than individual TV shows --- it includes moments and characters and trends and tropes. Also, many, many GIFs and clips.
What you don't get: Nothing here is outside the realm of television.
