DAM NATION Year-End List: 25 Songs of 2016

In 2016, we just worked and worked and worked, and even when we're home, we still worked. But since we're a motherf*ckin' Starboy, we went for some cheap thrills, rode someone's rover, met a dangerous woman who's walking from side to side, and we get in formation. In the end, all we needed was that one dance. Yup, that's probably the best way to sum up another spectacular year for mainstream pop music, so let's have the songs do it for us instead.

Just like every year, these are my picks for the 25 Songs of 2015: endless songs about love (as usual), a tribute for a departed friend, and even ditties with a lot of questions. These are the songs that I've shared on this blog at some point over the past 12 months.

Of course, this is admittedly a subjective list based on my personal judgments and preferences, but this list should also be a great conversation starter and feel free to agree or disagree. Either way there is a lot of great mainstream music - again, take note, MAINSTREAM MUSIC - to be found here.
