Top Songs of 2019
Ninety-eight tracks of 2019 top-rotation hits — the year-end snapshot for a year when alt-rock, post-punk-revival, and slick-pop were all sharing playlist space. Foo Fighters anchor the rock-radio core that ran through the year; The Black Keys bring the garage-blues revival bridge; Justin Timberlake carries the legacy-pop-radio anchor; Bruno Mars closes the soul-pop crossover that dominated mid-year. Sequenced as a year-in-review rather than a curated short-list — long enough to play through a workday, deep enough to surprise on shuffle. The functional 2019 year-end record, intact.
