It’s telling that it’s harder to put a cap on a top songs list these days (so much music out there) so I allowed myself an extra 25 songs this year at the half-way point. These are the songs I loved and play the most so far in this year. Plenty more best of playlists in the monthly ones – January\ / February / March / April / May / June. Here are my favourite albums, international and Irish too. Last year’s top 100 songs are here and Spotify and Soundcloud can give you loads more to listen to from me. And of course, I’m on the radio on TXFM every Thursday night.
In two flavours: Spotify and Apple Music. Spotify Player below.
