Prince Donte presents The Best of 2012 Class of 2013
This is my best of countdown of 2012. I will be counting down the top 30 albums of the year and the top 40 songs which includes singles album track and leaks. Some songs and albums on the lists may have came out in late 2011 and I did not discover them until this year, so some might appear on my lists. My countdown will have loads of variety from the most popular of hits to the biggest flops of the year. I have a special place in my heart for the flops. So keep it cute when it comes to them. Anyway I hope you enjoy my countdown as much as i enjoy making it.
