Like the ball drop at Times Squares in New York City, the fireworks igniting from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the annual rite of hundreds of million of people making resolutions they cannot keep, we once again share some of our favorite songs from the past 365 days. The Mega, Mega Playlist of 2018 is another doozy. Specifically, it features 145 songs that total nearly 10 hours of playing time. The playlist, as such, is a perfect opportunity to review the year that was and prepare for the year to come.
SoundCloud (though some songs require a GO account) and Spotify versions are below, and the tracklist is below them. The songs are arranged in what we thought was the best flow, but we also recommend hitting shuffle.
Happy New Year everyone. We wish you and your loved ones a safe, prosperous, and healthy 2019.
