What started as a top 50 grew into at top 90. Either I have a list problem or like with the Irish albums, there was a lot of commendable music released in Ireland this year. A lot. So much so, that there’s a lot more worthy music missing from here. This is my personal favourite list, its worth stressing so bigger names may not be here. These are the songs from Irish artists which resonated with me the most this year.
My list from 2015. Here is the list from 90 – 51. The top 50 will follow on Monday.
