My friend Josh does a series of best of the year posts which I highly recommend checking out. Josh is also smart in that he does several posts on specific topics (such as favorite song, podcast, etc.) rather than one long post like I do each year. While I still plan on writing my one "best of" and "worst of" post in the next week or two, I feel like sharing my favorite songs of the year. A few notes. Many of the videos below are live performances because the actual official videos have a word or two that is not suitable to be viewed at work or with kids. In one case, I actively dislike the official video, so I used the live version. I also admit that most of the new music I hear is pop music, so that takes up pretty much the entire list. Even the two country songs I included received massive pop airplay. Enjoy.
Shaboozey: A Bar Song (Tipsy)
Pretty sure this is the biggest song of the year. I really enjoy the callback to J-Kwon's Tipsy from, gulp, 20 years ago.
Hozier: Too Sweet
Nothing like hearing your kids sing "I take my whisky neat."
Madison Beer: Make You Mine
I don't go to clubs, but if I did, this seems like a fun song to dance to.
Dasha: Austin (Boots Stop Workin')
I just like this one.
ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT.
Spoiler. This song will appear in a future blog post.
Gracie Abrams: Risk
Pretty sure that I'm the last person in America who learned that Gracie Abrams is the daughter of J.J. Abrams.
Charli xcx: 360
Tough call between this song and her other song, Apple. Going with the keyboards.
