There was so much joy brought to me via music this year as in all years that I must make a list...an entirely non-comprehensive blob of songs that came out in 2013 that I loved immensely and played a grillion times while jogging, swimming or doing other things that would be way less fun without music. Guaranteed to have forgotten some here. And with that, the historical list:
Rich Hair by Sombear- brilliant album too, but if I had to pick one song it's this.
Go Long by Nipsey Hussle- just a mixtape not sure, got off of Datpiff and the whole thing is great.
Furthest Thing by Drake- heard this one for the first time at his concert, an epic event...love me some Drake.
Disclosure by F for You- pelvis grinder
Love More by Chris Brown (feat. Nicki Minaj)- I hate having to admit this buuut love me some Chris Brown.
Pizza Guy by Touch Sensitive- this video entrances me.
Probably Should Have by Devin the Dude- Devin did it again. This album isn't as good as Suite #420 but it still bumps.
Destroyer by Panama- i'm a shoegazer
Function by E-40- Everyone be sure to check out E-40s new line of wines...including a "Function" Cab blend which sounds delightful!
Alarm by Wise Blood- well this was surprising, who is this guy? Love.
Know It Ain't Right by M.I.A.- could do without her politics but this song is rad, not sure I'm feeling the rest of the album though even though it was a prerequisite on all Critics List this year it seems along with Kanye West so they could fill the hip hop slot (barff!).
'
Crooked Smile by J. Cole -TLC, and if it weren't for Drake then J.Cole owned hip hop this year...but alas, Drake.
Promises by The Presets (this may be 2012 but I'm slow on the uptake, this song is truth)
A Toute A l'heure by Bibio- cute!
Bubble Butt by Major Lazer- controversial? perhaps but it's a slapper, so I'm turning a blind eye.
Extremely Blessed by 2Chainz (feat. the Dream)- why this song was not a top ten hit is beyond me. 2Chainz needs better management.
In Your Eyes by Kate Boy- such a good gooooood pop song!
Night Dunes by Ben Browing- i want this song to play at my death.

Bounce It by Juicy J(feat. Trey Songz & Wale)- lets get ignawnt!
Wild for the Night by A$AP Rocky (feat. Skrillex & Birdy Nam Nam)- heard this one for the first time right before the epic Drake concert event. This got a stadium on it's feet so judge Skrillex and the lyrical content but it's got a certain something to it, friends.
And with that, happy 2014!
