There’s also a handy Spotify playlist at the bottom of the list, with all 50 tracks loaded in for your easily-listening pleasure/next pre-drinks/whenever you’re in charge of the AUX cord and don’t know what to play under pressure. After hours on hours of painstaking withering-down and ordering, we’ve finally put together a bunch of 50 songs, in order, which we believe reflect the brilliance that has been the world’s music scene in 2017 so far. Meanwhile, artists like Calvin Harris, Confidence Man and Lorde are just here for a good time, providing songs of a high quality in the process. Artists like Kendrick Lamar, Vince Staples and Sampha bring messages of loss and anger, channelling into these emotions to create beauty. This new-found importance has encouraged artists to dig deep and create moving pieces of art which are at a stronger level now than ever before, which in turn, has made the creation of this mid-year countdown increasingly difficult.Īll the singles on this list, we believe, reflect this growth and maturity well. Because of this, 2017 thus far has seen music become far more important than it ever has before - not just in economic and cultural terms, but to health as well. Artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Gorillaz have called upon their fans to act and speak out against prejudice, while others have used their music to provide a source of freedom and hope for those that need it. In a year where politics and justice have dictated the lives of many, music has found itself increasingly relied on for comfort, warmth and encouragement.
