August's Best of 2013

 | Welcome to August's Best of 2013, sponsored by Beyoncé and Pepsi.
I joined ATRL this year and it's been a wonderful experience for a big pop music fan like me. This also means it's my first year doing a best of!
I do not keep track of a weekly/monthly favorite song chart so this list was made a week or two ago from the top of my head (with the help of Wikipedia). Every song/album that has the year "2013" under the release date on Wikipedia is free game.
I will be presenting to you...
August's Top 100 singles of 2013. Adding album tracks, b-sides, etc. would make this a complete mess so I've limited it to songs released as singles. This is the meat of my Best Of, I've been shuffling songs around constantly the past week and my list has solidified where it is now. I will also be documenting the...
Top 20 Albums of 2013. A compilation of the twenty albums I enjoyed the most this year. And finally...
My Personal Grammy's of 2013. I've taken 25 of the major Grammy categories and assigned three nominees for each. In intervals following the single/album ratings, I'll be announcing the winners. |

The personal Grammys are a great feature! I do something similar, but I don't reveal the nominees- just the winners

I'm excited for the possibility of Saint Heron material on your lists, right? 
Oop, never mind it's a singles list, but there's always the entire album.
