Songs I’ve Obsessed Over in 2018

Songs Ive Obsessed Over in 2018

By Paris Carlson, Reporter

Over this year, music has been a huge focus in my life. I have been exploring all different types of genres, and building up my favorite song list. Recently, I wiped my song library to restart with the songs I still love; currently, I have over 300 songs in my library that I have downloaded over the last month.

Out of these songs, I have compiled them into a categories, with one list entitled “Songs I’ve Been Obsessed Over in 2018.” This list consists of songs I’ve been in love with, put on replay, and/or recommended to all my friends, at least once each; I’ve also added some songs you can ‘party’ to (the trap stuff), and my favorite throwback songs. Here is that list.

Many songs may contain explicit language.
