Rodrigo’s Top 15 Favorite Singles (2013-I)
We’re already into the second half of the year right now. And thanks to Giacomo’s January to June: 6 Sick Sounds post, I ended up deciding to show you 15 singles from the first six months of the year that I liked the most or ended up listening to a lot… for better or worse.
Fair warning: This is my first time attempting to do a ranking of songs for YAM Magazine. I’m not the best person in the world in regards to describing why I’m choosing this batch of songs and I might be snubbing a few other songs and/or forget about some tracks. There’s a chance I might end up doing a 2013 song ranking and this could change drastically later on.
Anyways, let’s start with the honorable mention.
Honorable mention: Justin Timberlake – Suit & Tie (feat. Jay-Z)
Not the right track to kick off this topic, but I listened to this a lot more than I should have to begin with.
Anyways, I’m still waiting for Pusher Love Girl to get its own MV and single release date because it’s the best song from Justin Timberlake’s latest album. Meanwhile, this song — which I find kind of funny for all the right and wrong reasons — will suffice. Plus, you can’t go wrong with having David Fincher directing the music video.
LOL, I have only heard The Stars (Are Out Tonight) and Get Lucky :P
@mirella, Not even the songs from Justin Timberlake and Kanye West?
@Rodrigo, I have heard of them existing, but I haven’t listened to them :P
@mirella, You’re serious? Both are unavoidable… on the web at least. I can’t remember any local radio playing any of the songs here except for maybe Doble 9 playing Out Of My League, Get Lucky, Can’t Get Rid Of and Hit Me.
@Rodrigo, lol apparently I have easily avoided them xD
@mirella, Until Tom Hiddleston recommends them.
@Rodrigo, Nah, he only recommeds hipster music xD His musical taste is something I usually don’t agree with… except he does like Daft Punk. But I listened to the latest album before he recommended it.
It still made me laugh when he sorta recommended Nicki Minaj’s Starships.
@mirella, I remember the Minaj thing from your diary, lol. One day, he might suggest something from here.
I think I might have three or four matching tracks. I think it’s cheating, though, that MVs influence your picking of a song ;P
@amy, Now that you mention MVs, I didn’t pick Bad Motherfucker (which I forgot about it while making this). This list will change a lot by the end of the year, lol.
I don’t think we’ll ever match in songs (but some of the top songs, we might). One, I’m not into the Asian music scene as you are. Two, you don’t care about the stuff I might like.
@Rodrigo, true, true. It’s gonna be interesting to see everyone’s top lists, but you’re all so lazy to put them together sometimes hahaha
@amy, Juan always has his Top 25 film lists going on. Should I unleash my Top 25 of 2011 and 2012? Maybe as blog posts since it’s late for it to be feature-worthy.
@rodirgo – sure, go for it!
Get Lucky wins again
@giacomo, Still a fun track. Dunno if it’ll hold the #1 spot after the year ends, but as of now it is my #1 pick.
