Our journey through time continues, and now we’ve found ourselves in 2018. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago, even though it’s been seven whole years. In 2018, we lost Anthony Bourdain and Aretha Franklin, there was another royal wedding as Prince Harry wed Meghan Markle, and Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson were engaged for a hot minute.

This is also the year that Childish Gambino reigned supreme, and you voted his song “This is America” to the number one spot of The Current’s Top 89 Countdown. Let’s get in a 2018 state of mind with music!
