The DX Magazine's annual Most Wanted Survey was conducted in September-October 2014.
The top 10 DXCC Entities are:

1. P5 North Korea
2. KP1 Navassa Island
3. 3Y Bouvet Island
4. FT5W Crozet Isls
5. VK0 Heard Island
6. BS7H Scarborough Reef
7. VP8 South Sandwich Isls
8. FT5T Tromelin Island
9. KH5K Kingman Reef
10. KH5 Palmyra

Eight out of ten places are occupied by the same DXCC Entities listed for 2013 and 2012, in four cases with just a slight varition in ranking. Tromelin Island is still listed, because the survey closed on 15 October and FT4TA became active on the 30th. Marion Island was in 8th place and now has moved down to the 19th (thanks to the activities by ZS8C, ZS8Z and ZS8A); Amsterdam and St. Paul was in 4th place and now - not surprisingly, after FT5ZM - is no longer listed among the 100 Most Wanted Entities. ZS8 and FT5Z have been replaced by Kingman Reef and Palmyra & Jarvis, which last year were in 12th and 11th place respectively. The 100 Most Wanted listing can be found on http://www.dxpub.net/MOST-WANTED-SURVEY.html.
Breakdowns are published in the January/February 2015 issue of The DX Magazine ("I was not able to provide some of the breakdowns as in past years due to a computer malfunction", N4AA says. "Some of the data was corrupted and was not retrievable").
