We count down the 50 songs that mattered the most this year.
Albums are an investment, monetarily if you're still a good music buyer and time-wise if you're still a good music listener. Songs are the cheaper, quick-hit, instantly gratifying option; if you've got three minutes, you've got time for one. A song is an artist's elevator pitch, and in keeping with that, there are a lot of them vying for your attention and trying to win you over in a matter of seconds. Maybe they do it with a big, chandelier-swinging chorus, or maybe it's all in the subdued nature of the verses. Maybe they're dancing a jig while encouraging you to love yourself, or flattering you with a "You was right." Maybe they're offering helpful business advice for entrepreneurs, or maybe they're going for broke and straight up insulting you.
