as it goes every year, it’s hard to believe that we’re already halfway through the year. but alas, here we are, on the backside of 2018.

2017 was one of the best music years in a long time. while 2018 has been good, it’s not necessarily been as strong as last year. nevertheless, there’s been some really great stuff this year. what i’ve appreciated about my best of list, though, is that it’s a blend of what i would’ve expected (brandi carlile, for example) and what i never could’ve guessed i’d love so much (kacey musgraves, for example).

it should be fun seeing what comes out and how the year-end list ends up shaking out for 2018.

alright, let’s do this. here’s the best songs of 2018 (so far):

the joke

date night

say something (ft. chris stapleton)

kids see ghosts

something about you

second night of summer

this is america

if you know you know

i like that

sauce
