Dua Definitely my favorite new artist of the year Can't wait for her album
Zayn had some good songs this year I only heard one song by Grace and it was cute
Why?: When I first discovered Daya I wasn't impressed with her music but after 3-4 plays I realized her music was so catchy! I like her, simple music but it works so well. I hope she releases good music in 2017! By the way, I didn't know she was only 18
Kiiara
Why?: Kiiara is like a darker version of Selena Gomez and I love it! Her music is weird but in an amazing way! Love her singles so far and I'm looking forward to more good music in 2017!
Flume
Why?: I love when Djs / Producers create interesting music and discover new sounds (and don't go with the generic sound like Zedd) and that's the thing I like the most about Flume! His sound is unique and he released one of my favorite albums of 2016! Hope he releases the song with Tove Lo as single!
Cheat Codes
Why?: They deserve a place this high because those guys released one of my favorite songs of 2016, "Sex". I thought they were going to be "one hit wonders" but with "Let Me Hold You (Turn Me On)" they proved me wrong, they have so much potential to stay relevant in the industry for a while! Love their music so far
Kungs
Why?: In 2013 Avicii was my favorite "new" dj, 2014 Robin Schulz, 2015 Philip George and 2016 was Kungs' year! There's nothing else I can say, this guy is an amazing producer, every song is fantastic and his whole album was incredible. My favorite album of 2016! I hope he stays true to himself and keeps releasing good music!
Daya is great, I loved her album
Kiiara's EP slays, I hope she doesn't flop after Gold
I only like one song by Flume and Kungs right now but they're both bops
Why?: One of the most interesting producers that I discovered this year! Not a big fan of "Fast Car" but his following singles have been good.
Dua Lipa
Why?: This beautiful girl was one of my favorite new artists this year! She has so much potential and I hope she releases her crossover hit in 2017.
Leroy Styles
Why?: Another amazing Dj/Producer that I discovered this year! His song "Can't Let Go" remains one of my favorites from 2016!
Grace
Why?: This girl has something that I really like! I like her style and she sings alright. I find her beauty in an unique way! I want more from her in 2017!
ZAYN
Why?: I know he isn't "new" at all but he released his first solo material last year and he deserves a mention! ZAYN wasn't my favorite member of 1D (in fact I didn't have a "favorite member", I used to hate them all) so I was 100% surprised when I fest heard "PILLOWTALK", the song grew on me a lot to the point that I listened to his album in full... wow, that's all I can say! From 1D to one of the best albums of 2016 from a male artist! Hope he doesn't disappoint with his next album!
Daya
Why?: When I first discovered Daya I wasn't impressed with her music but after 3-4 plays I realized her music was so catchy! I like her, simple music but it works so well. I hope she releases good music in 2017! By the way, I didn't know she was only 18
Kiiara
Why?: Kiiara is like a darker version of Selena Gomez and I love it! Her music is weird but in an amazing way! Love her singles so far and I'm looking forward to more good music in 2017!
Flume

Love their music so far
Kungs
Why?: In 2013 Avicii was my favorite "new" dj, 2014 Robin Schulz, 2015 Philip George and 2016 was Kungs' year! There's nothing else I can say, this guy is an amazing producer, every song is fantastic and his whole album was incredible. My favorite album of 2016! I hope he stays true to himself and keeps releasing good music!

"Make Me... (feat. G-Eazy)"

"Feels"
Album: Low Kii Savage
Watch The Video Here

Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here

Why?: Cheat production but this song is so damn catchy! and thanks to this I discovered Daya.
Maroon 5

Drake

Lady Gaga
"Perfect Illusion"
Album: Joanne
Watch The Video Here
Why?: 3rd in a row... another artist that disappointed in 2016! "Perfect Illusion" isn't bad but come on Gaga! this is not first single material. Also I don't like this "new" Gaga that much, I kinda miss her strange outfits and those things

Flo Rida
"My House"

twenty one pilots
"Heathens"
Album: Suicide Squad: The Album
Watch The Video Here
Why?: 2016 was Twenty One Pilot's year but for some reason I never coneccted with this song at all... I don't know what's missing but any other song from their album is better than this. Still this song deserves a place on here and there are 2 songs left from Twenty One Pilots

Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Chase & Status did it again! They released another banger! Love this song so much, it isn't higher only because it was released recently
ZAYN

Album: Miles
Watch The Video Here
Why?: You all should get into this bop! I like this song
Mike Posner
"I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb Remix)"

Carlos Vives & Shakira
"La Bicicleta"

The Strumbellas
"Spirits"

Watch The Video Here
Why?: I like this song! Deserved some mainstream success, isn't bad! I still think it has some chances to become a hit in 2017... why not?
Fais & Afrojack
"Hey"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Afrojack and one of his amazing bops!
Rihanna
"Work (feat. Drake)"

Why?: A little bit repetitive but Rihanna did it again, she released another bop! This is her last entry as a solo artist this year
The Chainsmokers
"Roses (feat. ROZES)"
Album: Bouquet
Watch The Video Here
Why?: One of my favorite songs ever! This song was my jam in 2015 way before it became a hit. With this song I confirmed what I've already known, The Chainsmokers are incredible producers! I'm glad they found success this year. This song is this low mainly because it was my jam in 2015, not 2016. 2 songs left from The Chainsmokers

"Don't You Know (feat. Jamie N Commons)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Not as good as "This Girl" but this nice song was my obsession for some weeks!
Ariana Grande
"Side To Side (feat. Nicki Minaj)"
Album: Dangerous Woman
Watch The Video Here

Yall
"Hundred Miles (feat. Gabriela Richardson)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: A "Lean On" rip off but "Lean On" was my favorite song last year so is not weird I love this song too
Kings Of Leon
"Waste A Moment"
Album: WALLS
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Nice comeback single from Kings Of Leon! their best song in years The only problem was that I overplayed the song way too early
Meghan Trainor
"Me Too"
Album: Thank You
Watch The Video Here
Why?: ATRL hates this song but I think is a bop! The only problem is that dated sound after the chorus but I really like the song! Still one song left from Meghan Trainor

"Easy"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: My favorite genre... EDM at its best! Love this one.
Alessia Cara

Bridgit Mendler
"Atlantis (feat. Kaiydo)"
Album: Nemesis

The Chainsmokers
"Closer (feat. Halsey)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Along with "Me Too" this must be the most hated song on ATRL But I don't care, I love it! The production is amazing, the chorus the catchiest thing ever and I really appreciate the fact that these guys sing on their own songs! That's the main reason why I liked Calvin Harris and now I'm almost a Chainsmokers' fan! One song left from them
Zara Larsson
"Ain't My Fault"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: What an incredible year for Zara! At first I wasn't feeling this song that much but is a grower! I love the music video and the instrumental is amazing. Deserves to be a global smash in 2017 One song left from Zara!
Mike Perry
"The Ocean (feat. Shy Martin)"
Album: N/A

Little Mix
"Hair (feat. Sean Paul)"
Album: Get Weird
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I'm not into girl groups and 99% of the time I'm not interested in their music but this song was the exception! Not the best song but God, this is so catchy! and that funny music video really helps this song. I hope these girls release something like this again in 2017
ZAYN
"PILLOWTALK"
Album: Mind Of Mine
Watch The Video Here
Why?: The biggest surprise of 2016 was ZAYN with no doubt! I never liked a single One Direction song ("Story Of My Life" is one of the worst songs of all time ) and of course I was skeptical when I heard he was releasing single material but... I don't know what happened! I love this song
Selena Gomez
"Hands To Myself"
Album: Revival
Watch The Video Here
Why?: One of my favorite songs from Selena Gomez! Amazing production and I love the way she sings! This should be her signature song to be honest. I hope Selena releases something as good as the first single from her next era! About the music video she looks so hot, but is boring. That's the only thing I didn't really like about Selena this era, the music videos...
Robin Schulz
"Show Me Love (feat. Richard Judge)"
Album: Sugar
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Robin Schuz was so quiet this year and that makes me sad, last year he slayed everything! But this amazing song was my jam earlier this year. LOVE the music video, I think is so damn cute and the song is amazing!
Meghan Trainor
"NO"
Album: Thank You
Watch The Video Here
Why?:Meghan revived these sound from the early 00s with this incredible song! I love it and the message of the song is funny The only bad thing is that music video, please don't dance Meghan
Ariana Grande
"Into You"
Album: Dangerous Woman
Watch The Video Here
Why?: This song is such a grower, I love it! I can't believe it wasn't a big hit for Ariana, is one of her best songs! Nothing else I can say, this is my favorite song from a Disney/Nickelodeon girl this year
Leroy Styles
"Can't Let Go (feat. Neil Ormandy)"
Album:N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: One of my favorite music videos of 2016! Really sad story and I almost cried the first time I watched the music video. Amazing song as well, that's the reason why this is top 25!
Sia
"The Greatest"
Album: We Are Your Children
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Sia is probably my favorite main pop girl right now! She just keeps releasing incredible songs and "The Greatest" is not the exception! Plus the music video is amazing, I love Maddie! One song left from Sia
Lukas Graham
"7 Years"
Album: Lukas Graham
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Definitely not the type of music that I like, but this song is amazing to sing along while driving Not sure if I'm going to like any other single from them in future but meanwhile I love "7 Years"!
Grace
"You Don't Own Me (feat. G-Eazy)"
Album: Memo
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I know this song is from 2015 but smashed this year + the Suicide Squad movie made me love the song this year! 90% of the time I think rappers don't add anything to a feature song but this this the exception, G-Eazy sounds really good in this
Crown The Empire
"Hologram"
Album: Retrograde
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I like to give credits for every "new" artist that I discover and I need to thank Marnie for this one because I discovered them in her weekly coutndown! I loved this song! and the music video is great, definitely need to put an eye on them!
Julieta Venegas
"Tu Calor"
Album: Algo Sucede
Watch The Video Here
Why?: And top 20 starts with my latin queen Julieta Venegas! "Tu Calor" is my favorite song from hers in years, should have been the first single. This is the Julieta that I love! and I'm excited for new music in the future. 2016 was a bad year for latin music with reggaeton everywhere but I'm glad Julieta stayed true to herself and she keeps doing her thing. This is my favorite latin song of 2016!
Martin Solveig
"Do It Right (feat. Tkay Maidza)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Martin surprised me with this song! I remember I was a huge fan of "Hello" some years ago but after that he didn't release anything interesting until this song. Nice production and good vocals plus an entertaining music video! I'm glad Martin is back to my top 20 after so many years!
The Magician
"Shy (feat. Brayton Bowman)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: It took me ages to start liking this song but when I finally got into it I was obsessed! Love the song and the music video is... only for people with an open mind
Felix Jaehn
"Bonfire (feat. ALMA)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?:That "Cheerleader" remix that was a massive hit last year was my favorite "song" from Felix Jaehn because I like "Ain't Nobody" but not that much but then he released this bop! I really love this song and I love even more the fact he made an amazing music video for the song! I love when Dj/producers put some effort into their work. One more positive point for this song? YES! That ALMA girl sounds incredible!
Calvin Harris
"This Is What You Came For (feat. Rihanna)"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I don't know why some people on here thought this was going to be my #1 song of 2016 when it isn't even part of my top 20 favorite Calvin Harris' songs. The biggest disappointment of the year when I heard Calvin Harris was releasing a new single and it ended being another Rihanna collaboration But the song grew on me so much! I love the chorus and the production, if not his best, is decent. Really like this song but is one of my least favorite singles from Calvin and this only reinforces what I always say, Calvin Harris is the best with no collaborations!. One song left from Calvin Harris
Why?: Top 15 starts with Example! 2016 was a bad year and part of that was that Example didn't really release anything apart from this song which isn't bad at all but... come on! is Example, he can release something MUCH better! and the fact that he didn't appear in the music video didn't help either. I know this is low for his standarts but I'm sure he can release a masterpiece again! 2017 will be his year
Flume
"Never Be Like You (feat. Kai)"
Album: Skin
Watch The Video Here
Why?: One of my favorite songs of 2016 for sure! I love Flume's style so much, he's great and this song my favorite from him so far. The only bad thing is that music video with those cheap effects
Sia
"Cheap Thrills"
Album: This Is Acting
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Sia has been slaying my soul since 2014, each year she releases a masterpiece ("Chandelier" in 2014, "Elastic Hearth" in 2015), this year was "Cheap Thrills" turn! Not the biggest fan of the song at first but after 3-4 plays I was obsessed! I love the chorus, the rhythm and the music video. The version with Sean Paul is nice too, but of course I prefer the original one! Sia did it again
G-Eazy & Bebe Rexha
"Me, Myself & I"
Album: When It's Dark Out
Watch The Video Here
Why?: I discovered G-Eazy in 2014 and since that year I've been following his music. I'm happy "Me, Myself & I" was a big success this year because he deserves it! Love the song and Bebe definitely adds a nice touch to the chorus. The music video is great too!
Major Lazer
"Light It Up (feat. Nyla & Fuse ODG) (Remix)"
Album: Peace Is the Mission
Watch The Video Here
Why?: "Lean On" was my #1 song of 2016 and I really thought they were going to be "one hit wonders" for me but I was wrong! They did it again with "Light It Up". This song is amazing and really deserves "Lean On" type of success! even tough it was quite successful in Europe. Almost top 10 again! Definitely looking for more music in 2017
Zara Larsson
"Lush Life"
Album: N/A
Watch The Video Here
Why?: And top 10 starts with my favorite "new" pop girl of 2016! Miss Zara Larsson released this incredible song in 2015 but slayed my life in 2016! what an incredible song with a cute music video! This should have been a top 10 hit in the US Zara is so talented! She deserves more recognition
Miike Snow
"Genghis Khan"
Album: iii
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Since 2011 that Miike Snow didn't release anything interesting for me and then this year they released "Genghis Khan"! I love the song so much, love the message and the analogy that was used. The chorus is so catchy and of course I need to mention the music video, one of my favorites of 2016! There are no words to describe this music video other than GENIUS!
Halsey
"Colors"
Album: Badlands
Watch The Video Here
Why?: Who would've thought that Halsey was going to release my favorite female single of 2016? When she debuted last year I wasn't too interested in her, "New Americana" is a meh song and I didn't pay attention to her. When she released "Colors" I watched the music video and I enjoyed it! Never got too obsessed with this song but it was my jam for almost 6 months Of course this song deserves a place into the top 10! and I love the music video so much, nobody would have imagined the end. As a fun fact, this is the first time EVER that a song that never reached #1 on my weekly countdown is top 10 on my Best Of
Bastille
"Good Grief"
Album: Wild World
Watch The Video Here
Why?:I've always been a big fan of Bastille, like their music and I'm the #1 fan of Dan's voice but they reached another level with this song! I know it wasn't a big hit and is so underrated on ATRL but I LOVE IT! The chorus, the music, everything about this song is perfect! Deserves of course more recognition but well, if I love it I think that's enough! Congrats Bastille! The music video is alright.
Alan Walker
"Faded"
Album: N/A

Why?: Earlier this year I thought this was going to be my #1 song of 2016, of course that didn't happen because better music was released but I still love this song! from the lyrics to that beautiful voice and of course my favorite part, the instrumental! Everything about this song is perfect. The music video.. is not, but who cares lol It makes me angry that I didn't like anything else from Alan Walker so far, he had so much potential
Why?: And my top 5 starts with a "new" artist! Cheat Codes, those guys are talented but with "Sex" they surprised me! I discovered this song thanks to Spotify and I wasn't sure at first if I like it or not but after that music video I was obsessed! One of my favorite music videos ever! and I'm not a pervert but the music video is genius, is funny and creative! + the teacher is so hot Definitely deserves a place into my top 5 because is one of my most played songs of 2016!

Why?: I know this song is so 2015 and last year I liked it as well but after radio started playing this song frequently I became obsessed! I thought they weren't going to release something as good "Stressed Out" but I think I like this song even more now! Everything about this song is perfect and now I'm just waiting for new music! This is the only non-dance song in my top 5 so I think that counts even more!
The Chainsmokers
"Don't Let Me Down (feat. Daya)"
Album: N/A

Why?: 2016 was Chainsmokers' year without a doubt and I love this song to death! At first I wasn't sure but after 3-4 plays it was my favorite song ever Nice lyrics, Daya sounds good but we all agree that the best part of this song is the amazing production! love the verses so much. The music video is random as hell but I love it anyway. Since 2013 when I first heard "Kanye" I knew The Chainsmokers were incredible producers, I'm glad they found success this year because they don't deserve to be known as the "Selfie" guys. Of course I'm waiting for new music from them in 2017 and I'm sure they won't disappoint!
Calvin Harris
"My Way"
Album: N/A

Why?: I almost put this song at #1 I mean, is CALVIN HARRIS SINGING You all know Calvin Harris is my fave artist, he has the record of most #1s on my Best Ofs and this song didn't disappoint, is one of my most played songs of the year as well! This isn't #1 only because it was released recently and there is a song that I've been playing all the whole year so that wouldn't be fair. Calvin disappointed me with "This Is What You Came For" but he reclaimed his throne as the best artist ever with this one! Nice production and Calvin sounds fantastic on this song. I think this could've smashed if released in summer but oh well! I really hope he releases a new solo song in 2017! I don't want more trashy collaborations, please Calvin
Kungs
"This Girl (vs Cookin’ On 3 Burners)"
Album: N/A

Why?: Do you imagine how much I like this song given the fact that it stole Calvin Harris' #1 spot? The answer is: TOO MUCH! Where do I start? With that incredible voice, the girl sounds fantastic and I watched a live video from this song and she's so talented! The production! One of my favorites ever! Those trumpets give me chills. The music video... well, that one is just okay but I do love this song! is my most played song of 2016 according to my last.fm with 900 plays My jam for months! the song with the best run on my weekly countdown (#1 for 5 weeks!). Kungs is an incredible producer and I'm glad he's releasing quality music and proving everyone that the EDM is alive and better than ever! Congrats Kungs
Definitely my favorite new artist of the year 
Can't wait for her album 
I only heard one song by Grace and it was cute 
but they're both bops 
This is why this song is kinda low...
But I can't deny is a nice song from Dj Snake!
I really like this song, my guilty pleasure!
she deserves a solo hit someday...
Hope their next album has better material.
I can't wait for an official music video, but I already love the lyric one! 
The only problem was that I overplayed the song way too early 
) and of course I was skeptical when I heard he was releasing single material but... I don't know what happened! I love this song 
but they reached another level with this song! I know it wasn't a big hit and is so underrated on ATRL but I LOVE IT! The chorus, the music, everything about this song is perfect! Deserves of course more recognition but well, if I love it I think that's enough! Congrats Bastille! The music video is alright.
