2021 has been a legendary year in music so I’ve been working on some things to try and help preserve the legend. Tomorrow I’ll have a post with all the albums that were released plus the entire 2021 playlist listed along with quick thoughts about songs that really stood out to me. There are 1,105 songs on the playlist, i cut that down to 710, then I cut that down to 313 and finally settled on a Top 150 songs list. That was fn tough lol it would be a different list every time I made it but for now, I’m happy with how it shook down.
UPDATE – Every year after this I did the Top Songs list to match the year so 222 for 2022, etc… Since 2021 was such a legendary year, I decided to go back and top up the list. So now it is the Top 221 Songs of 2021. I didn’t touch the order of the original top 150 and just added the other 71 songs to it.
The list is below and I’ll also post the Spotify link – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/404eRNTMfmcouKWMiQIcuk?si=DYG-nhYbQiKWKUIUBVER4w
