Half of these songs are from 2011 :\

Oh you're right.

 

YellowTeardrops13, it is the idea that you vote for best songs that are released since this year. Coldplay's Charlie Brown and Hurt Like Heaven are not allowed because it is on Mylo Xyloto wich was released in 2011. Same goes for M83 - Midnight City and others on your list.
