When a new year comes, new music is bound to happen. You make a new playlist, there are new top hits and, most of all, new artists emerge from the unknown. Here is a list of the top 30 tracks of 2017 in alphabetical order.

Disclaimer: This article is NOT mentioning songs based on most listens, plays on the radios or downloads. These are my personal picks of tops songs.

1. 1-800-273-8255 - Logic

1-800-273-8255 was created to promote awareness for suicidal thoughts/ actions, the name of the song is a help hotline phone number.

2. 24K Magic - Bruno Mars

Such an upbeat song! It is fun to gather a few friends, get in pajamas and dance around to.

3. All Time Low - Jon Bellion

An upbeat song about a dark time in a person’s life. Although the actual meaning of this song is rather sad, it is still upbeat and overall fun to dance around to.

4. Attention - Charlie Puth

Attention is all about an ex who is trying to get back into the pants of the singer for a one night stand.

5. Believer - Imagine Dragons

Turn up the bass and volume in your car and listen to this one, you will be thanking me later.

6. Body Like A Back Road - Sam Hunt

I am not a huge fan of country but, you will always hear me singing along

7. Bounce Back - Big Sean

I WOKE UP IN BEAASSST MODE! Such a good song to get ready to in the morning

8. Despacito Remix - Luis Fonsi ft. Justin Bieber

Useful if you want to go into Spanish 101 feeling as if you know some Spanish.

9. Don’t Wanna Know - Maroon 5 ft. Kendrick Lamar

Radio stations skip Kendricks part… Listen to this version, it is much better.

10. Glorious - Macklemore ft. Skylar Grey

This song defined my summer, great to roll down windows, turn up loud and drive to work to.

11. Havana - Camila Cabello

In general, such a jam. I do not know all the words, but let me tell you, the chorus gets me excited.

12. Him and I - G-Eazy ft. Halsey

This is off of G-Eazy’s new album that is so so good. This is just my personal favorite off of it.

Such a good pump up song. This is played before a hockey game at my school, you will always hear me screaming ‘MY LEFT STROKE JUST WENT VIRAL!”

14. I Don’t Wanna Live Forever - Taylor Swift ft. Zayn Malik

Overplayed on the radio, but good as apart of the Fifty Shades Darker Soundtrack.

15. I’m the One - DJ Khaled and Justin Bieber

This was another one of the songs of the summer that was highly overplayed but still a good one.

Highly involving social media in a relationship, good beat overall a good time.

The advice we all should take in 2018.

18. Perfect - Ed Sheeran

This is such a cute song, you can have my heart, Ed.

I really did not like this song at first, then I listened to it a few more times, now I love it.

29. Your Song - Rita Ora

About how there needs to be more positive love songs. Positive encouraging message.

30. Young Dumb & Broke - Khalid

It says young dumb broke high school kids but I am pretty sure they mean college kids.

As a Bonus, here are my 5 favorite albums of 2017 (also in alphabetical order, they are all jams)

1. 24K Magic - Bruno Mars

A fun album to dance around to, everyone needs some Bruno in their life.

2. Beautiful and Damned - G-Eazy

I am not a giant fan of rap, but the songs on this album includes the perfect amount of chorus and rap.

3. Evolve - Imagine Dragons

My favorite album of the year. Perfect for turning the bass up in your car and blasting, upbeat and relatable.

4. Fifty Shades Darker Movie Soundtrack - Various Artists

Typically, movie soundtracks are boring, they are typically just instrumentals, but this album is way more than that. It includes many popular artists of the year (ex: Nick Jonas, Nicki Minaj, Zayn, Taylor Swift etc) that create the perfect romantic soundtrack.

5. Gemini - Macklemore

Once again, I am not a huge fan of rap. This album like G-Eazy’s includes the perfect amount of chorus and rap, although in general I have always liked Macklemore’s work.
