2012 has has quite an interesting year. New albums released have brought up quite a stir on ATRL. New talent has shown up this year which either made us very happy, or very annoyed. Some of us had to search for new music, or old school music that we haven't ever given a chance. 2012 was lackluster to some, and others, well it was still lackluster.

For me, I had a hard time enjoying the new music released this year. There have only been a handful of music that was good this year. So I went on a quest to search for music that I never would have listened to otherwise. Some were released this year, some were old school discography's of legends. You will definitely see both on these charts. Then there was some anticipated albums. 1 which was a disappointing which I am still contemplating if I should even have her chart. Others made a huge impact on music for the year.

My year basically has a lot of bubblegum pop. Some more darker pop. but mostly pop. I barely had any time to explore alternative. Nothing huge came up that gave me an interest.

My charts this year will include

IKYWT is a clear smash Not a Taylor fan but it's an undeniable bop.
Will clearly be following your list, Kurt

Here for your lists, YFF.

Already liking it so far.

Houdini One of my favorite songs. Glad to see it made your list.

Excited for your worse lists.

Can't wait for this

I hope you all will like my list.. it is definitely interesting

I Knew You Were Holy making an appearance

Looks promising

Let’s GO is fun to listen when you are in a car ride to a club or a dinner party or some resort. Houdini is inescapable which is ironic and this is a great dong from FTP. Man the video is also interesting. Aww I see you got sucked in to that bop side of that crap T-swift song. Still nice try so far. It will get better.

Yass at I Knew You Were Holy making it.

Houdini <333

Let's Go and Houdini
