Nicely sandwiched between Queen Monáe, I've got the songs that made me feel the most in the past year. Songs with specific lines I couldn't get out of my head for days at a time, and songs that had me memorizing the liner notes. These aren't listed numerically; more by how I think they would sound best in a playlist. So toss it on and feel your feelings with my favorites of 2018.

Top 10 Songs of 2018

Janelle Monáe – "Pynk (feat. Grimes)"
Robyn – "Honey"
