I'm gonna try and do this chronologically.
January
Eastenders
What a way to start the year! And this was only the beginning with what we had in store for Eastenders during 2014. Our fallen angel Ronnie leaving us wigless whilst the UK were still hungover from new years eve
a3tC3oVauhQ
CBB
Just days after Ronnie claimed her victim we were blessed with another classic CBB January series with a storyline that had the nation hooked!
tcADbeK7cII
Grammy Awards
And if soap operas and reality TV wasn't enough to keep you warm during this winter we had an iconic opening to the 2014 Grammys by no other than Queen Bey herself! She performed "Drunk In Love" with her husband Jay-Z from the surprise album she dropped just a few weeks prior

The video isn't on youtube anymore :(
Spice - So Mi Like It
What?? We're still in January!?!? Now, whether you were black, white or asian you ALL knew about this incredible track from Spice which had EVERYONE twerking throughout the whole year. Spice has continued to bless us with bops but this was the bop of all bops which truly shook the world
3yHmiixs3qI
The release dates are all over the place (typical black organisation) so I went by the date it was put on youtube
February
Okay we can finally move onto February. Season 6 of RuPauls drag race was seen as one of the best, and just like another thread I made a while back about Season 6 of TV shows always being iconic, this was included!

Just a cheeky bop which reached #1 in March 2014

Eastenders
Eastenders was getting better and better at this point. Nations sweetheart Stacey returns to the square with obvious consequences

So, as we were gaining a gem, we were also losing a gem, this was Janine's final appearance :lovedup:

Coronation Street
And over at the cobbles we had Peter and Tina's affair heating up in the build up to her demise. This was such a great storyline

The Voice UK
Always lovely to see a person of colour win a TV show, a very down to earth, humble and talented gentlemen who wasn't in the show for fame, all about the music :love:

Lets add another two fine men of colour who released songs that captured the world. One up-tempo, one ballad, both had huge impact.

Kimye
So unless you were (literally) living under a rock, you might remember that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West tied the knot. 5 years down the line and they're still going strong with three beautiful children

Met Gala 2014
Whilst things were happy and dandy in the Kardashian West household, the rival power couple seemed to be going through a rough patch, many believed this was the start of "Lemonade". Let's take a trip down memory lane to see Solange lash out at Jay-Z
kZW813aO6Es
Rihanna
An honourable mention to badgalriri who looked absolutely STUNNING rocking this Stella McCartney two piece whilst world war three was happening in the elevator

Iggy Azalea became the fourth solo female rapper to top the chart when "Fancy" reached number one in June, a feat previously achieved only by Lauryn Hill, Lil' Kim and Shawnna. In its sixth of seven weeks on top, "Fancy" became the longest-reigning single by a female rapper on the chart.
Big Brother UK
Now, I don't care for the series itself I only care about the house, it was very well designed. Also, the hype on TIBB when the photos were released was a fun night - shoutout to the girls who were there

Cindy gives birth
Whilst Nicki was giving us life the UKs leading actress was bringing life into the world
