Mike Posner as there's a lyric I can relate to in I Took A Pill (and no, it's not the drugs reference!!)

I only know the Justin T and Drake songs from that list and don't think either would be on my top 1000 list of the year

Cheap Thrills, Lush Life and This Is What You Came For are the only ones I really like off that list.

I know a couple of songs and a few of the artists, but overall I'm glad I'm not growing up in this era. I cant equate One Dance with the figure that is next to it. How? and Why? would be my questions. Is Sia the one who wears the lampshade?
The singles chart has been made tragically uninteresting by streaming imo. |

Drake is just awful. He cannot sing and his rapping is crap. His voice sounds like he is singing through his noise and its autotuned to hell.
He really gets my goat. |

But they aren't really the biggest selling as the majority of the sales counted in these are from streaming, and we also know that its questionable due to spotify playlists and the fact most people aren't actually paying for it???

'Cheap Thrills' followed by 'Lush Life'. Everything else is just various shades of awful.

I'd take most of these over 'This Ole House' the top 10 year end of 1981 only 5 of these I would still play. My 13 year old wouldn't like any of these but likes nearly every song in 2016 top 10. Its their generation now.

I've only ever heard the last three on the list. So I'd pick one of those.
