the 18 best songs of 2018 (so far)

as it goes every year, it’s hard to believe that we’re already halfway through the year. but alas, here we are, on the backside of 2018.

2017 was one of the best music years in a long time. while 2018 has been good, it’s not necessarily been as strong as last year. nevertheless, there’s been some really great stuff this year. what i’ve appreciated about my best of list, though, is that it’s a blend of what i would’ve expected (brandi carlile, for example) and what i never could’ve guessed i’d love so much (kacey musgraves, for example).

it should be fun seeing what comes out and how the year-end list ends up shaking out for 2018.

alright, let’s do this. here’s the best songs of 2018 (so far):

    18. brandi carlile: the joke

    16. justin timberlake: say something (ft. chris stapleton)

    13. borns: second night of summer
    12. childish gambino: this is america
    11. pusha t: if you know you know
    10. janelle monae: i like that
    9. justin timberlake: sauce
