In a year where I felt like I "progressed" musically the most I ever have, these are the songs that caught my attention and my ear. Each has its own individual reason why it made the list but I will not bore you with those. All of these songs can be (minus Taylor Swift's song and album) found on Spotify. Many of them are from my most recent playlists which are up on Spotify too. So since I can't figure out as of right now a new way to post music directly on here, I'll add the link to Spotify below...and if you don't have it I implore you to get it and pay for it (it will change your life for $4.99/month pretty worth it I think).

(the playlist above is a little different...i had to mix it up a bit since i couldn't necessarily do it like the list i posted here so it's the top 20 songs from the top 12 albums i could get on Spotify)
