SONG OF THE YEAR

Making these curated lists has been an annual tradition. I used to be an avid user of last.fm (back when you scrobbled with iTunes), that showed you your top songs of the last 12 months. I then started making yearly lists on my old LiveJournal, and then Spotify wrapped came around and it made it too easy. This is way more fun.
