#97-95: Second Chances, Drawn to the Blood, Summer
97. Imagine Dragons - Second Chances
Clocking at a still impressive #97 is the lowest charting song on Imagine Dragon's Smoke + Mirrors. That's right, the entire album (apart from 2014's top 10 peaking I Bet My Life, which was ineligible) made the countdown this year. I admit it's not an amazing song, but that just speaks to the power the album had in my life. there are 15 Imagine Dragons songs left on the countdown
96. Sufjan Stevens - Drawn To The Blood
Sufjan Steven's 6th studio album Carrie & Lowell hit me especially hard one August day when I was feeling a bit depressed, and remained my soundtrack for the next month. The sparsely produced and sung record does little to impress but manages to touch the heart in every way possible. there are 3 Sufjan Stevens songs left on the countdown
95. Imagine Dragons - Summer
The lowest charting standard version track on Smoke + Mirrors achieves a #95 ranking. Perhaps it ranks so low as the album came out in the dead of winter, but I can now appreciate the the production and vacillating melody line for what it is. there are 14 Imagine Dragons songs left on the countdown
the next update will feature one of the top selling songs of the year
"You checked your texts while I masturbated" is probably one of the best lines in all of music. Seriously. That's all I have to say. There are 2 Sufjan Stevens songs left on the countdown
93. Kaleo - All The Pretty Girls
This song deserved to place higher. Kaleo could be a huge breakout crossover band in 2016, and they deserve to. The haunting falsetto, powerful refrain, and sparse strings all contribute to possibly one of the best tracks of the year.
There are 0 Kaleo songs left on the countdown
92. Kacey Musgraves - Love Is A Liar
This swagger filled kiss-off to a one time lover carries more sass than anything on Musgraves' 2015 album Pageant Material, but it proves just as successful in its mission to make country great again. The movie soundtrack cut was made for screaming in the car and thinking of lost loves you don't want back.
