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.

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

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.

The advice we all should take in 2018.
18. Perfect - Ed Sheeran
This is such a cute song, you can have my heart, Ed.
19. September Song - JP Cooper
I used to be obsessed with this song at the beginning of 2017. It is about remisquing on young relationship, it is adorable with a capital A.

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.
