LOVINLYRICS "TOP 50 MOST LISTENED TO SONGS OF 2021" - HAVE YOU HEARD THEM?

Radio seems to be the standard that most people seem to use to gauge if a song is good or not. If they play it, it must be the best out there. Nothing could be more off base. Yes, radio is a standard but it’s not a rule, especially over the last few years. I have found more truly quality music just by listening to the recommendations of others, through social media, satellite radio and surfing streaming services than I have found on the every day FM dial. Don’t get me wrong, I know radio is a business and I will be the first to say there are some amazing dj’s, program directors and promotion directors that would much prefer to also change the norm and I appreciate them for it, but while radio sticks to the corporate machine of making playlists filled with the ones that bring in the biggest bucks, I choose to curate my playlist of the “not so standard” songs that you don’t hear on every station every other hour, those that make the biggest impact on me personally.

Below are my top 50 most listened to songs of 2021. There may be a few mainstream songs on the list, but for the most part, you  may not have heard of some of these artists and I encourage you to give them a listen,

In these songs, I danced, I sang along loud and very much off-key, I smiled, I cried and I thought of things I hadn’t thought of in years. I related to the story, went back to a time when I was happiest and I found myself again. I hope you were able to find the songs that did this for you. Thank you to the artists who made my year in music a good one. I appreciate you more than you realize.

LOVIN LYRICS TOP 50 MOST PLAYED SONGS OF 2016

As another year closes, so does 365 days of music from so many great artists. I thought I'd share my Top 50 favorite songs of 2016. You'll notice most of them are from artists you probably aren't hearing on your local mainstream stations except for a select few. You won't find many mainstream or overly saturated artists on my playlist because I prefer to listen to songs I don't hear every time I turn on the radio so I don't get tired of them and because I am a huge supporter of independent artists and artists signed to smaller labels. These were the songs I listened to the most this year and I hope you will take the time to check out some of them and show them your support as well. I truly believe the best music isn't always on your radio. Thank you for supporting new music and for a great year!

Love,

 Jenn
