I think the one thing we can all agree on is that 2016 was a pretty rough year for all of us. From all of the tragic world events to the wildest/worst election in history, at least 2016 provided us with some good music to listen to. I mean it was the least it could do. This is a completely biased list of the best songs of 2016, in no particular order of course.
1. "Work" -Rihanna ft. Drake
*Prays for them to get back together*
2. "Panda" -Desiigner
Can't understand a word he's saying. But the beat is fire
3. "One Dance" -Drake
Bae
4. "Closer" -The Chainsmokers ft. Halsey
Halsey makes this song
5. "Black Beatles" -Rae Sremmurd
*Does mannequin challenge*
6. "Broccoli" -D.R.A.M ft. Lil Yachty
Because we definitely needed a new euphemism for weed
7. "Cheap Thrills" -Sia
This song is great and the remix featured Sean Paul, so that's even greater
8. "Cake by the Ocean" -DNCE
Thankful we still have a Jonas brother to obsess about in 2016
9. "Formation" -Beyonce
Any song that makes Tomi Lahren mad is a great song
10. "Drug Dealers Anonymous" -Pusha T ft. Jay-Z
Jay Z used a soundbite from the Tomi Lauren video (mentioned above) that was aimed at him and then delivered one of his best feature verses in a while... #petty #genius
11. "tHat Part" -Schoolboy Q ft. Kanye West
Schoolboy making TDE proud
12. "Chill Bill" -Rob $tone
Using the whistle from Kill Bill as the beat was I C O N I C
13. "Starboy" -The Weeknd
14. "Million Reasons" -Lady Gaga
Slay queen
15. "Nights" -Frank Ocean
One good thing came out of 2016 and that was Frank finally dropping new music
16. "Child's Play" -Drake
I would never fight with you at Cheesecake, Drake
17. "Goosebumps" -Travis $cott ft. Kendrick Lamar
It's lit!
18. "44 Bars" -Logic
Extremely underrated song from an underrated album by an underrated artist, but a bop, nonetheless
19. "I Took a Pill in Ibiza" -Mike Posner
20. "Work From Home" -Fifth Harmony
This chorus will probably be stuck in my head until 2017
21. "Death of a Bachelor" -Panic! At the Disco
Swooning over Brendon Urie since 2007
22. "Untitled 07/ Levitate" -Kendrick Lamar
Levitate levitate levitate levitate
23. "Father Stretch My Hands Pt.1" -Kanye West
Wondering if Young Metro still trusts Kanye
24. "All The Way Up (Remix)" -Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Jay-Z, French Montana
So great to see Remy making a comeback
25. "Come and See Me" -Partynextdoor ft. Drake
The ultimate break-up song of 2016
26. "Housewives" -Bas
Another great song from another underrated rapper
27. "Immortal" -J. Cole
I wanted to put the entire album on this list to be honest
28. "No Problem" -Chance the Rapper ft. Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz
2016 was a HUGE year for Chance
29. "Cranes in the Sky" -Solange
Solange blessing us with that Black Girl Magic
30. "We The People" -A Tribe Called Quest
Always great when hip-hop legends make a come back and this album came out during a time we needed it the most.
