I live for Cosmic Explorer, Joanne (mostly) and Fantome. The later I still need to give a few more listens, it hasn't grabbed me in the way other music from her has.
Plus need to check out Made in Japan - I forgot Ayu had even released it!
So glad that Il mestiere della vita earned your number 1 top album of 2016, Kworb, Fantôme is a brilliant album as well so I'm extremely happy with it's place as well, I'm very surpised that your placing Il mestiere della vita as one of Tiziano's best albums as you did say that you would have to see whether it could compete against Nessuno è solo, Alla mia età and LÈUCS and obviously it did, which I'm so happy about.

A track that only appears on the international edition of Metal Resistance, it is their best and most beautiful song.
9. Wagakki Band - Strong Fate

This incredible single is what got me into this band. They mix traditional Japanese instruments with rock and metal, and have an amazing singer to boot.
8. Rihanna - Kiss It Better
196 plays | 2420 points | Barbados
One of Rihanna's best songs, it inexplicably flopped. Everything about it is wonderful and timeless.
7. Tiziano Ferro - Il Conforto (feat. Carmen Consoli)
494 plays | 2970 points | Italy
Easily the best song of 2016, it wasn't on my weekly chart long enough to challenge for the top spots on my year-end chart. This electronic ballad is the greatest duet ever made and will be the second single from Il Mestiere Della Vita.
6. Suiyoubi no Campanella - Yuki Otoko Yeti
279 plays | 3192 points | Japan
A wonderfully unique and melodic song about a yeti who dreams about going on summer vacation. Hard to find this kind of creativity outside of Japan.
5. Utada Hikaru - Manatsu no Tooriame
320 plays | 3349 points | Japan
A funeral song if there ever was one. Utada's ability to draw tears from your eyes is truly remarkable.
4. Kris Allen - Feeling This Way
313 plays | 3657 points | United States
Incredible catchy song that sounds really uplifting, but the lyrics are surprisingly bittersweet. Very addictive.
3. Utada Hikaru - Hanataba wo Kimi ni
411 plays | 4384 points | Japan
One of Utada's greatest creations, the melody of this gorgeous song just carries you away. I couldn't have asked for a better comeback single.
2. Tiziano Ferro - Potremmo Ritornare
811 plays | 4890 points | Italy
The lead single from Il Mestiere Della Vita wasn't that impressive when I first listened to it, but it quickly nestled itself into my brain and urged me to play it over and over. There's just nothing I'd rather listen to than Tiziano's voice.
1. Tiziano Ferro - Il Vento
517 plays | 6689 points | Italy
The fourth single from his greatest hits era TZN is my second favorite song of all time (after his "La Differenza Tra Me E Te") and remained in my weekly top 10 for most of the year, so "Il Vento" tops the year-end list for a second year. His domination is making my personal charts a little boring but some things just can't be helped.
