In 2014, the record-breaking phemonomenon "Happy" was the best-selling song of the year, spending 15 non-consecutive weeks at the summit of the chart, spending a total of 62 consecutive weeks in NZ's top 40 and becoming the best-selling song of all time in NZ, also meaning the artist Pharrell Williams had scored the year-end number one single for the second year in a row, also being producer and songwriter for the song.
