We’ve let 2018 simmer for a bit and have spent time still revisiting some of our favorites albums of 2018 as well as our favorite songs. As fun as it is to pick my favorite albums of the year, there’s something much more freeing about choosing songs. It’s a chance to highlight even more artists, maybe an artist whose album you couldn’t quite get into but they had that one song that was simply too good to resists. Or a new artist that struck a chord with you out of the blue, who reminds you of why you starting a music blog in the first place.

Below, find my favorite 100 songs from 2018 counted down from 100-1 and find your trusty Spotify Playlist right here. Blast it loud, share it with a friend, and thanks for sticking around with us for our tenth year. We couldn’t do it without all of your dedicated support.
