2016 has been a crazy year for me. Even though there are some ups during this year, it was mostly down for me. Whenever I feel sad or stressed out, I open my Spotify app on my phone and just play music to relieve some tension. Luckily for me, 2016 has given me numerous songs to jam out to when I feel down. The list below countdowns my top 10 song of this past year.

Top 10 Songs of 2016

10. Closer by The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey

This songs was everywhere! I loved how The Chainsmokers incorporated EDM with a break-up song. The addition of Halsey made this song gut wrenching for me as they sing a past romance of what could have been. Tears galore.

9. Work by Rihanna ft. Drake

Work work work. Bad girl RiRi and Drizzy Drake sang and rap this island tune that made people confused at first by its lyrics but, eventually, got over the confusion and just "Dutty Wine" to the song.

8. One Dance by Drake ft. Wizkid and Kyla

Summer of 2016 was dominated by this song. Everyone in the world just wanted to dance with that special someone, either in the club or in the middle of their living room.

7. I Took a Pill in Ibiza by Mike Posner

Originally a ballad, Mike Posner wrote this song about taking a random pill while partying with a popular music producer on an island of the coast of Spain. See remixed the song to make it more up-tempo. Eventually, this sad ballad became an international EDM hit. Funny how a remix can change everything.

6. Into You by Ariana Grande

This EDM/dance-pop hit from Ms. Dangerous Woman herself almost made me want to run away to a desert motel while using a motorcycle as my mode of transportation. Unfortunately, I would need money and time to do that but I'll just let Ariana do that herself.

5. Wild Things by Alessia Cara

Any rebels on here? Alessia sang this liberating song about self-empowerment and being yourself without listening to naysayers and haters. I definitely need to find my inner wild thing and not afraid to be myself.

4. Work from Home by Fifth Harmony

Another "work" inspired song on this list. The girls of Fifth Harmony taught me a lesson on sexy telecommunicating. If only I can find construction workers as hot as those shown on the video...

3. Ride by Twenty One Pilots

This song had a long ride (pun intended) to becoming a hit for this alternative band. I was jamming to this song every time I drove to Jacksonville or even when while I was stuck in traffic. This is a must for every road trip, especially for long trips.

2. Let Me Love You by DJ Snake ft. Justin Bieber

I personally do not like Justin Bieber because of this crazy antics but his collaboration with DJ Snake made me like The Biebs... but just vocally. I love the EDM beats that Mr. Snake produced and Bieber's vocals were spot on in this song. The music video was very odd but I only love it because of the song.

1. Cheap Thrills by Sia. ft Sean Paul

What does everyone love? CHEAP THRILLS! Sia and Sean Paul worked together to create this song, originally written for Rihanna, about having fun on Friday and Saturday nights. This is a perfect pre-game song or just to make your "boring" weekend nights feel fun.

Here is the link to the Spotify playlist of these songs.
