Our list of the best songs of the year is both subjective and, if you were to ask us a few weeks or months down the line, subject to change. When we assemble lists of the best songs of the year, it in part reflects breakthroughs into mainstream pop consciousness, but a lot of the time, it’s those unexpected songs that resonated that end up climbing up our list of favorites. (But hey, we’re starting to get back out there, slowly but surely.) Connecting the dots became more complicated than on years past, in part because this is just a very weird year, and in part because our experiences have mostly been solitary. When we each threw our personal lists of the best songs of the year into an Excel spreadsheet, what stood out more than anything was how, individually, all of our experiences were very different from one another. Everyone’s personal soundtrack each year is a very personal thing-sometimes it’s a ubiquitous pop hit, but more often than not it’s the unexpected deep cut that resonated, that curious older song that we heard for the first time years or even decades later, or the familiar sound of an old favorite.
