This is a little too rote. There's no criticism, there are no jokes, there's not much in the way of insight. Every major publication does year-in-review stuff; if you as a small blogger want to steal some of that attention you have to do something novel, be better than everybody else, or both.

I don't know anything about your point of view: you're basically parroting the middle-of-the-road opinion on the year's most popular records. I'd also be careful calling 2014 "one of the worst years for the genre in a very long time." I mean, Pinata? Dark Comedy? Rich g---? Run the Jewels? h--- Can Wait?

Basically, you've got to give readers some sort of value if they're going to invest any time into reading you. (I also would absolutely not have a quote about the suburbs at the top of your blog.)
