I wasn't expecting to be into DNCE when I first heard some of the songs off their album. Their music is a bit generic but they bop and for a new group they're doing pretty good for themselves. RATING - 6.5
JUSTIN BIEBER
TOP TRACK - COMPANY
TOP ALBUM - JOURNALS
His personality may be trash but his music especially this year has been inarguably great. I appreciate the tropical EDM trend that him, DJ Snake and Major Lazer started last year. RATING - 6.9
ZARA LARSSON
TOP TRACK - I WOULD LIKE
TOP ALBUM - UNCOVER
The newest of the pop girls really won me over this year. Just narrowly missing the top 10 we have Zara who has been nonstop slaying me with her singles and music videos as of late. RATING - 7.2
TOP TRACK - THE GREATEST
TOP ALBUM - THIS IS ACTING
Sia was the underdog of the year in 2016. I really doubted she could put out anything better than Chandelier but she ultimately proved me wrong...twice in a row to be exact. RATING - 7.5
#9. SELENA GOMEZ
TOP TRACK - ME & THE RHYTHM
TOP ALBUM - REVIVAL
Down from her #2 artist peak on last years countdown, Selena manages to score another top 10 position without really any new music released this year. Her continued slayage is real. RATING - 7.8
#8. THE WEEKND
TOP TRACK - I FEEL IT COMING
TOP ALBUM - STARBOY
I've never been a fan of The Weeknd's music prior to this year. There was just something genuinely missing that really stopped me from liking it and it seems he finally found that missing key. RATING - 8.5
Artist HMs:
I don't care for Bieber but he put in worK for 2016. His singles (aside from Company ) were great.
Zara Perched for her album! DNCE slayed this year between the single choices and awesome album.
DNCE gave us bops.
Justin released good music and YES @you praising his best song Company.
Zara future main pop girl is coming!
Sia had a great year too we need #Justice4M&TR tho, the original and superior tropical bop
Selena what a queeen
and yes @ Abel finally winning you!
I've been a fan of Gwens for a while now and I've been afraid that she would become mediocre with age like Fergie and Xtina but she proved me wrong this year. She did great this year imo. RATING - 8.0
#6. BRITNEY SPEARS
TOP TRACK - LOVE ME DOWN
TOP ALBUM - GLORY
I really hated Britney's music prior to this year. Glory was just so good that it really opened my mind to her discog and it's not bad honestly. Brit really won me over hard this time around. RATING - 8.5
TOP TRACK - DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR
TOP ALBUM - A SEAT AT THE TABLE
Solange caught my eye with her True EP a few years back and she's been on my radar ever since. This year she stepped out of Beyonce's shadow and delivered the most amazing music. RATING - 8.7
#4. RIHANNA
TOP TRACK - KISS IT BETTER
TOP ALBUM - ANTI
Kind of shocking that I included Rih but she's always been one of my favorite artists (I'm just not vocal about it). I think urban music suits her much better than dance-pop, it's more authentic. RATING - 8.9
I really got into Gwen this year WWIB is one of my faves from the album
Selena Me & The Rhythm shoulda been a single
Zara and The Weeknd have some cute songs Rihanna
and of course Godney Glory is one of her best albums
Sia, Selena and Rihanna I wanted to like Gwen more this year but I couldn't
Gwen is so so so underrated. I wish people would like her more
