Temporal Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 So, last year's Best Of was a mess for me. I was traveling a lot and didn't have the time to write witty blurbs for 160 items, despite the gorgeous graphics. This year, I've planned ahead, and will complete this godforsaken thread if it kills me! 100 Most Played Songs This year, I'm doing something very interesting and very cool. I'm taking my Top 100 most played tracks, and then using an inverse point system such as the one that Billboard uses for its year-end charts, and applying that to the chart runs of those 100 songs on my Zero Charts. Because of this, my #1 song this year is not my most played, rather my most consistent earworm! The formula is 40 points for #1, 39 for #2, all the way to 1 point for #40. You get the idea! I'm not using Zero Charts point system cause it's inconsistent (they award 100 points for #1 but 38 points for last place? Idgi) 100. Sanctuary - Jackson Reid 99. Velvet Elvis - Kacey Musgraves 98.

While I, of course, listen to only exquisite music for my refined taste palette, I do greatly appreciate some albums for their quality while not being able to spin them consistently. Here, the Top 10 albums will be ranked based on my completely objective analysis of quality! Best of 2017 Best of 2016
