My memory sucks (because I've upgraded before and don't think I ever had a problem), but I just want to be sure. When I install my soon to be purchased 2014 upgrade, will all my songs that were created with 2013 still be there? Hoping they won't get deleted.

Yes, they'll be there after the upgrade. You won't lose them. I still have songs I did 15 years ago after all the upgrades.

Another Yes and a comment.
Many (and likely most) of us who are long-timers install new versions right over the top of the prior one. This ensures you still have not only your songs, but any styles you created and any special purchases (like this year's 12-pak) that come with particular versions along the way.
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

When I install my soon to be purchased 2014 upgrade, will all my songs that were created with 2013 still be there? The correct answer is ... it depends.
It depends on what you mean by "install." It depends on where you save your songs. And it depends on what you mean by "songs."
If, by "install," you mean you've purchased the USB drive version and plan to replace the previous drive with the new drive, your songs may actually not be there.
Regardless of how you use BiaB or which drive you run it from, always have a completely separate data folder structure where you save anything that either you create or that BiaB (or any other app) creates. And make sure to BACKUP your data regularly.
If you saved real tracks or dragged instrument tracks to a DAW, they will be gone when you upgrade (if by USB drive). I learned the hard way that BiaB saves those files within the \BB structure. Therefore DO NOT DRAG DIRECTLY INTO A SEQUENCER. Always drag tracks to a MS Windows data folder and then import them into your DAW. That way they will always be there even after you upgrade.
