Yess, let’s do this then, here are the best singles of the year! As always, I’m bending the rules, I’m relying on wikipedia and spotify and I can’t pay attention so if any of these shouldn’t be on this list then I don’t care so… you can find this list in a Spotify playlist here (in random order), complete with The Grocery by Manchester Orchestra which would be the 151st but it’s nOT AN EVEN NUMBER
