a selective memory of the year in music
Every year, approximately 10 trillion songs get released into the wild and pop up on streaming platforms. And somehow we're all expected to remember which ones actually slapped and pretend we'll remember any of them in 12 months. This list exists because I did not, in fact, remember most of them. So this is my brave and slightly chaotic attempt to separate the absolute bangerz that actually stuck from the "why the fuck am I listening to this?" moments that lingered for only a brief moment in my sad life. There is zero logic behind this list, just maximum delusion, and the firm belief that if it went platinum in my room, it meant something. No charts were worshipped, no algorithms were consulted, just pure vibes from moments of intense overthinking. So welcome to the Best Songs of the Year, as decided by one person, my AirPods, and an entirely subjective taste. Your favorites may be missing. That's fine. I've already made peace with that.
