What’s your favorite song of 2017? Was it pop, country, dance, R&B, hip-hop, jazz, or a new Christmas song?
I’m ready to share my 20 favorites of the year. Some I know might be on your list and there are some many of you may not have even heard.
So, before I start, a quick look back over the years. In 2013, my favorite song (and video) was Hailey Rowe’s “My Boyfriend Is Gay”.
In 2014, it was “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift and Jason Derulo’s “Want To Want Me” was tops for me in 2015.
My favorite song last year was “Faded” by Alan Walker (featuring Iselin Solheim).
Here’s an interesting fact for you — the video has been viewed an incredible 1.44 billion (that’s BILLION, with a “B”) times!
“THE STAR” — MARIAH CAREY
“WE WERE THAT SONG” — BRETT KISSEL
“THERE FOR YOU” — MARTIN GARRIX ft. TROYE SIVAN
Troye Sivan had my #2 song of last year, “Youth”
“ALONE” — ALAN WALKER
P.S. Alan Walker, please release an album of all of your songs. I buy CDs, but not downloads. 🙂
“I CAME HERE FOR LOVE” — SIGALA ft. ELLA EYRE
“SAY YOU WON’T LET GO” — JAMES ARTHUR
“BODY LIKE A BACK ROAD” — SAM HUNT
“LIFE’S ABOUT TO GET GOOD” — SHANIA TWAIN
“YOUR SONG” — RITA ORA
“I NEED YOU” — ARMIN VAN BUUREN & GARIBAY ft. OLAF BLACKWOOD
I love Armin van Buuren’s music and “Sunny Days” with Josh Cumbee was also an incredible track this year!
“PRAYING” — KESHA
“LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE” — LEANN RIMES
“IT AIN’T ME” — KYGO ft. SELENA GOMEZ
“LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO” — TAYLOR SWIFT

“I DON’T WANNA LIVE FOREVER” — ZAYN & TAYLOR SWIFT
Watching season one of Netflix’s incredible series “Master of None” with Aziz Ansari and Lena Waithe, I discovered this amazing song.
It’s “Chateau Lobby #4 (in C for Two Virgins)” from Father John Misty’s 2015 album, “I Love You, Honeybear”.
And, when I fell in love with the song on the show, I didn’t know how gorgeous Father John Misty (real name: Josh Tillman) was! I do now.
“BACK TO GOD” — REBA
“I FEEL IT COMING” — THE WEEKND ft. DAFT PUNK
“SILENCE” — MARSHMELLO ft. KHALID
