The year 2015 was hands-down incredible in terms of music. We haven’t seen tracks circulate and spend so long at No. 1 in decades. To say this was a good year for the music industry is an understatement. Here are my picks for the best songs of 2015.
1. “Hotline Bling” by Drake
Let’s be real. We all knew this song was going to be important from the very first time we heard it. What we didn’t expect was for it to start a revolution in the dance industry, the pastel-pink clothing industry and the music video industry. This song was, quite frankly, the anthem of 2015.
These are my remaining top five, which I believe don’t need an explanation:
2. “Again” by Fetty Wap
3. “Hello” by Adele
4. “Spectrum” by GoldLink
5. “Alright” by Kendrick Lamar
