So I don't claim to be any kind of music snob at all. I like what I like. I don't like what I don't lie, and I don't know and I don't know. Here are the 2016 songs I listened to a lot throughout the year in no particular order. I was heavily country influenced this year for whatever reason, and usually my rule is one song per artist, but one artist owned music so much this year so this artist gets more than one. My blog my rules.
1. Formation Beyoncé
Because she slay, she slay. Even if she does think Red Lobster is yum.

2. Runaway Train Cam
Hopefully Cam is one of country'S new badass women. As you will see in this list, she has a lot to compete with!

3. Cheap Thrills Sia
An ode to cheap fun! One of the songs of summer
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=31crA53Dgu0
4. False Alarm The Weeknd
The Weeknd continues to be one of the most unique voices in music with this 80s influenced song.

5. Used to love you Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani gives up style and gimmicks for her most naked track since Don't Speak.

6. Big Day in a Small Town Brandy Clark
There ain't no mall. No Waffle House. If you lived it then you know it.

7. Grigio Girls Lady Gaga
An anthem for woman in what should have been the year of women.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aPDRG0PJ9s4
8. Strive A$AP Ferg with Missy Elliot
A positive message in a hard year. And everyone needs more Missy Elliot.

9. Ugly Lights Miranda Lambert
You know if you've ever been at a bar at closing time and the ugly lights come up.

10. Ugly Fantasia
More Ugly from someone that I wasn't sure had any good songs left in her.

11. Audition (The Fools Who Dream) Emma Stone (from the film La La Land)
For all the dreamers and the aching hearts

12. Different for Girls Dierks Bentley with Elle King
I'm generally not into bro country, but this leans away from that. And Elle King's voice is wow.

13. Work from Home Fifth Harmony Ft. Ty Dolla $ign
Song of the summer. Hands down. But they are over before they really got started.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5GL9JoH4Sws
14. It's Quiet Uptown The Cast of Hamilton and Kelly Clarkson
There has to be a showtime! It's required. It is also a cheat because it came out in 2015. But I jumped on the Hamilton bandwagon late and Kelly Clarkson did an amazing remake in 2016

15. My Church Maren Morris
Perhaps my favorite song of the year. For those who love the freedom of road travel and who maybe don't love real church that much. Hopefully Maren is just starting!

16. Daddy's Lessons Beyoncé and Beyoncé with the Dixie Chicks
Beyoncé gets 2 songs because she was queen. She probably deserves 4. Hold up and Freedom
Are close to as good Plus Beyoncé did country! And sang about guns! And then the Dixie Chicks sang it on tour! And thenthen they recorded it together! Perfection! I faint!

Cheers to great music in 2017!
