best of Mark Rih's Best of 2018 | Top 10 songs | UPDATED

[Mark Rih]

Well hello, I'm here for another year so let's celebrate that!

 

I was thinking about skipping best of 2018 this time around since I'm very busy atm (just like every other year since this is always exams period for me, plus I'm also leaving for a few days for the end of the year) and this countdown is always a big distraciton, but in the end I decided to join since I was doing my year end list anyway (I always need it to keep track of the forgettable bops for the years to come!)

 

This is going to be my fourth best of the year;

this year you will get top 20 albums and top 50 songs (+ a tons of honourable mentions lol)

 

Here's a banner that will give you an idea of who is coming to stomp and... who isn't.

Honourable mentions (a lot of them, really) coming up!

[Mark Rih]

Let's start with the honourable mentions for the songs list.

 

I decided to make a top 50 to include only the songs I really enjoyed during the year, and also because it would've been difficult to rank more songs: the top 50 is currently changing every minute, let alone if I had to do a top 100. On the other side I had to give at least a mention to these other tracks I used during the past 12 months; some of them are hits, some of them are flops, some of them are hidden album jams: I like them all but not enough for them to make the main list.

 

There will also be a bubbling under the top 50 top 10, that will include 10 songs that deserved something more than a HM but still didn't make it to the top 50; the idea of a top 60 was ugly to me so yeah this is what you get lol.

No

On a serious note tho.. the amount of HMs  and some real gems were left out so curious to see if your list is an actual slay

[Remmy]

I spot plenty of people in the OP banner that I like, but also a few I can't stand  Hopefully the latter don't show up too much!

 

Honorable Mentions~ Babylon and End Game not making it  I can understand Worst Nites since it's still pretty new. Science, Back to Life, Electricity and Delicate deserved SO much better
