I haven't seen one of these yet for this year, so here goes.

You can do one or two songs, or a whole list - so long as it was released in 2016 and is a single, i.e. not an album track.

Let's begin with:

Best: Kungs vs Cookin On 3 Burners - This Girl

Worst: Kent Jones - Don't Mind

Best

1. Little Mix feat. Jason Derulo - Secret Love Song
2. Kungs Vs Cookin' On 3 Burners - This Girl
3. Justin Timberlake - CAN'T STOP THE FEELING!
4. Sia feat. Kendrick Lamar - The Greatest (2016 hasn't been a vintage year so Sia is already this high by default)
5. Alan Walker - Faded
6. MØ - Final Song
7. twenty one pilots - Stressed Out
8. Clean Bandit feat. Louisa Johnson - Tears
9. Matoma & Becky Hill - False Alarm
10. Dami Im - Sound Of Silence

Worst

1. Desiigner - Panda
2. Dawin - Dessert
3. Rihanna feat. Drake - Work
4. Fifth Harmony feat. Ty Dollar $ign - Work From Home
5. Meghan Trainor - Me Too
6. Jamala - 1944
7. Frans - If I Were Sorry
8. Jason Derulo - Kiss The Sky
9. Jason Derulo - Get Ugly
10. John Newman - Ole

This years #1 singles so far have been borderline ok/average that I honestly can't say I've liked or hated any of them. Mike Posner's track is overall my favourite #1 of the year so far but even I Took A Pill In Ibiza can't make my top 10 of the year.

Timecop1983 - Come Back

You can decide which category it belongs in... which I imagine depends on whether you like the outrun genre.

Out of the few songs I remember from 2016, these are 2 that I particularly like.

I am encouraged how many of you like Lush Life in particular.

Lush life is one of the few good songs out this year!

Hard to think of much good stuff this year

Does Sia's Cheap Thrills count ?

I love Calvin Harris/Rihanna "This is what you came for " even though its pretty bog standard dance stuff.

Tilted is great

Not a chart hit, but Babymetal's single Karate this spring was great,

Also all of Beyonce's stuff.

Theres been a lot of DROSS this year, a lot of very week dance tracks, which have dominated this summer.
Numero Uno on the boddism hit list this year is One Dance. What a load of insipid drivel. It beggars belief it was number 1 for 15 weeks!!

Yeah Lush Life is brilliant if all you ever listen to is the Top 10. Afterall what better represents the evolution of music than some chav Rihanna wannabe dancing around to a happy clappy beat in her designer "thug" gear.

This new Green Day track is one of the best songs I've heard this year. Easily the best thing they've released in over a decade. Just when I was starting to think they were becoming washed up...

You mean 'Outrun' as in the 80' arcade game?

I agree Green Day are about to release their best album since 'American Idiot' they just need a good subject to write about and they strike gold again.
