My Favorite Albums and Underperforming Songs of 2016


Because there was so much good this year that didn't get very popular. The reason I'm doing this sort of thing as a blog post rather than a video is because I'd want to talk at length about every song, but that would be exhausting to edit and watch. This post will be an easy to digest, straightforward list. No particular order.

There's three sections to this list. First there's the songs that hit the Hot 100 in 2016 but did not make the year end list. This will not include songs I think can make the year end for 2017, like Water Under The Bridge or HandClap. Anything else is fair game though, regardless of peak. Second will be everything that didn't chart, including singles and album cuts. As long as it or the album it was a part of released in 2016 and I first heard it then, it counts. Finally, I'll be listing some of my favorite albums from the year. I didn't listen to a /ton/ of albums, so I might've left out some favorites of the year, and I apologize in advance for that. None of these will be in any particular order, just an fyi. Here goes.
