BEST OF 2016

Welcome to my annual year-end countdown! This will be the 5th countdown I have done on ATRL since joining in late 2010. The first few years I put 50000% effort into these, will tacky MS Paint made graphics, 150 song countdowns, and a plan I actually stuck to. As I've grown older, I have less free time to spend on making my lists so they will not have fancy graphics, and I'll only be able to rank about 25 songs and 5 albums, with a few random categories like Best New Artist to my library, Most Played Artists and worst songs of the year.

CATEGORIES
-TOP 25 SONGS OF THE YEAR
-TOP 5 ALBUMS OF THE YEAR
-BEST MUSIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR
-BEST NEW ARTIST TO MY LIBRARY
-MOST PLAYED ARTISTS
-WORST SONGS / MOST OVERPLAYED SONGS OF THE YEAR


Note: This list could still be updated as I know I missed a few.

Just like last year, there is a happy blend of Korean and English songs on my countdown. So I hope you enjoy my countdown and I can't wait to see all of yours!
