Every year for the past ten years I have posted on my personal Facebook page my top songs of the year.  They are just a collection of songs that I save to a playlist throughout the year.  Several of the songs are found on Spotify.  For each year I am updating it with a Spotify link and YouTube link to the songs.

My picks for the each year are predominantly based on the beats and not necessarily the lyrics.  I also try not to choose songs that are played out on the radio, unless the song is just that great.  Also, I have not listened to every album or mixtape that was released for the year so I may be missing out on some gems.  What were some of your favorites of the year?  Please comment.
