We have had quite a big year for music with plenty of big name artists dropping albums such as Kanye West, Drake, J.Cole, Don Toliver, Young Thug, Dave and many more. Each year I will compose my top 100 favourite tracks of the year.
The first 80 songs will be presented with just the name and artist while the top 20 will have a more in depth view.
Note: This is not my Spotify Top 100 as that playlist contains many songs not released this year
Honourable Mentions
- Kanye West ft KayCyy, Conway The Machine & Westside Gunn-Keep My Spirit Alive Pt.2
- (YSL) Young Thug ft Bslime & Don Toliver-No Surprise
- Bas ft J.Cole & Lil Tjay-The Jackie
- Kevin Abstract ft $NOT & Slowthai-SLUGGER
- YSL & Strick ft Skepta-WokStar
100. Isaiah Rashad ft Young Nudy & Kal Banx-Deep Blue
99.Joel Corry & Jax Jones ft Charli XCX & Saweetie-OUT OUT
The Kanye West remix of the orginal is still superior :).
98.Shouse & David Guetta-Love Tonight
97.Kanye West ft Roddy Richh & Shenseea-Pure Souls
96.Ben Reilly ft Abstract Media & Miseye-Finsta
95.KSI ft Future & 21 Savage-Number 2
Say what you want about him but KSI has produced some decent bangers the past couple of the years.
94.Riton ft Mufasa & Hypeman-Friday
93.Sam Silver ft A$AP Twelvyy & pineappleCITI-Little After Sunset
92.Fredo ft Dave-Money Talks
91.DJ Khaled ft Lil Baby & Lil Durk-EVERY CHANCE I GET
90.KSI ft Lil Durk-No time
89.(YSL) Young Thug ft Strick & Kid Cudi-Moon Man
88.Isaiah Rashad ft Jay Rock & Jay Worthy-True Story
87.Son Diezal ft Raury & Protoje-Saviour
This was recently removed from Spotify because Son Diezal samples artists in his own songs without permission but credits them as a featured artist so it may be a little difficult to find this one. Nevertheless what he created was a banger.
86.WILLOW ft Kid Cudi & Travis Barker- T R A N S P A R E N T S O U L Remix
85.Spinabenz, Yungeen Ace & FastMoney Goon- Who I Smoke
Probably the craziest use of a sample I have ever heard.
84.Kanye West ft Vory-God Breathed
83.Last Night In Paris-Crash
I really recommend listening to LNIP, there a RNB/Hip-Hop group with lots of members. Check out Soiree, one of the best songs of 2018. They don’t release much so its always a treat when they do.
82.Don Toliver ft Baby Keem-OUTERSPACE
81.Ed Sheeran-Bad Habits
80.Doja Cat ft The Weeknd-You Right
79.Tory Lanez-Enchanted Waterfall
78.Last Night In Paris-Drip Down
77.IDK ft SiR-Temporary Love (Extended Version)
Its great when an already good song is made even better with an extended version. IDK & SiR are so underrated.
76.Jason Derulo & Adam Levine-Lifestyle (David Guetta Remix)
75.Brent Faiyaz ft Tyler The Creator-Gravity
We need more Brent & Tyler they work so well on this track.
74.Nicki Minaj ft Drake & Lil Wayne-Seeing Green
73.(YSL) Young Thug & Gunna-Ski
72.Don Toliver-2AM
71.FKA twigs ft The Weeknd-Tears In The Club
70.Trippie Redd ft Juice WRLD-Matt Hardy 999
69.Baby Keem ft Kendrick Lamar-Range Brothers
As stated in my Melodic Blue album review, the ending to this song really holds it back in terms of replayability.
68.Abstract Media-War
Similar to Last Night In Paris, Abstract media remind of an early Brockhampton, a group with versatile members that produce banger and banger. Abstract Media are really talented at creating infectious hooks to their tracks with War not being an exception. Their best work was released last year with Brolic.
67.(YSL) Young Thug & Gunna ft Travis Scott-Diamonds Dancing
66.Kanye West ft Vory-No Child Left Behind
A now iconic track that started the hype around the release of the excellent ‘Donda’ album
65.The Kid LAROI ft Justin Bieber-Stay
64.Young Thug-Faces
63.The Weeknd-Take My Breath
62.Drake ft Kid Cudi-IMY2
61.Lisa-Money
One of the catchiest songs of the year that is let down by the beat switch towards the end of the song.
60.Juice WRLD-Already Dead
59.Young Thug-Contagious
I think Punk disappointed me the most this year especially with the star studded list of features. However the stand out moments had to be faces and contagious both with eloquent instrumentals
58.Elton John & Dua Lipa-Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)
57.Isaiah Rashad ft Project Pat & Juicy J-RIP Young
56.The Weeknd ft Ariana Grande-Save Your Tears (Remix)
55.Joyce Wrice ft Freddie Gibbs-On One
54.BROCKHAMPTON ft A$AP Rocky & SoGone SoFlexy-COUNT ON ME
53.Juice WRLD ft Justin Bieber-Wandered to LA
52.Baby Keem ft Travis Scott-Durag Activity
51.Olivia Rodrigo-Good 4 U
A guilty pleasure it has be said.
50.Drake ft Travis Scott-Fair Trade
That concludes the first 50 onto the next 29 tracks.
