there are off of the top of my head, so I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton

and they're in no particular order, other than WTF being #1:

Missy Elliott feat. Pharrell Williams- WTF (Where They From)
Jessie Jones- Quicksilver Screen
Kanye West- All Day
Big Grams- Fell in the Sun
Drake- Hotline Bling
Vic Mensa- U Mad
Jamie xx- I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times) & Loud Places (feat. Romy)
Kendrick Lamar- Alright & King Kunta
The Weeknd- Can't Feel My Face
Lower Dens- To Die in L.A.
Future Islands- The Chase
Mac Demarco- Another One

I'm sure I'll add more later

some good ones there. I'll come up with some from my running best of playlist. But, not all of them are really 'singles' depending on the band (i guess i consider it a 'single' if the band used it to promote their album or made a video for it even if it's not released like a real single).

but

Quote :

"Kendrick Lamar- Alright & King Kunta"

yes. King Kunta was my favorite track off TPIAB for the first several listens, but over time Alright became my favorite track on that whole record.

The Hills was a big one by the weekend as well.

All of Taylor Swift's releases.

Sam Hunt had a big year.

There's a ton.

12/7/2015 4:29:07 PM

her best singles were released last year

12/7/2015 4:44:49 PM

Not sure what you mean by top and I'm not even sure what 2015 means since many songs from 14 get big in 15 or i suddenly discover songs in 2015 only to find out from hipsters that they were released in 2012. but anyway, here are my most memorable songs from the year by genre no order.

Electronic

Major Lazor featuring MO- lean on
Kygo- firestone
Avicii- waiting for love
DJ Snake- you know you like it
Calvin Harris and Disciples- how deep is your love
Skrillex and Diplo- Where are you now
Galantis- Runaway
Martin Solveig- Intoxicated
Vanic w K Flay- make me fade

RAP

Big Sean- Blessings
Future- Commas
Fetty Wap- 679
Macklemore- Downtown

Other

Sia- Elastic Heart
Ellie Goulding- Love me like you do
Fifth Harmony- worth it

Nicky Jam- El Perdon
The Weeknd- Can't feel my face
Tove Lo- Talking body

Can't speak for TGL3, but anytime I personally do music-related year end lists of any kind, top=favorite to me since I'm not getting paid to be an objective music critic. I may shuffle something around based on attempted objectivity or technicality or uniqueness etc. or use those as a tie-breaker, but it's mainly just my favorites.

12/7/2015 5:32:44 PM

yes, top = favorite

and I check and make sure if the songs on my list were released as singles in the specific year

I totally expected "WTF (Where They From)" to be at the top of more year-end lists

it's so damn good

12/15/2015 12:16:48 PM

I'm nominating JB's Sorry for Banger of the Year.

"The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face"

You like that better than The Hills?

12/24/2015 4:40:24 PM

yes

12/24/2015 7:51:57 PM

Nobody asked you.

12/24/2015 10:11:14 PM

you quoted from my list

12/24/2015 11:24:06 PM

He actually copied from DROD, but that's ok, it's on both. And they're both really catchy. But there's no way in hell I'd put anything by Drake on there, but maybe I'm just old

12/25/2015 12:04:11 AM

^^ nope

12/25/2015 12:57:39 AM

why you gotta be such a dick?

it's Christmas

12/25/2015 11:21:17 AM

I'm counting that as last night for me, not Christmas.

Merry Christmas TGL3

I'll add "Pretty Pimpin'" - Kurt Vile because no one has mentioned it yet. It's a little different than what he's done before and it sounds like what a good Modest Mouse song can be (but hasn't been in over a decade).
