Weekend Kickoff - DEC 2017

Thirty-one tracks of the December 2017 ‘Weekend Kickoff’ rotation — the year-end edition of the recurring Friday-evening playlist that kicked off the weekend listening week. U2 anchors the legacy-rock-anthem spine that grounded the run; Wale with Major Lazer, Dua Lipa, and Wizkid carries the cross-Atlantic afro-pop-and-club crossover that defined the year’s winter peaks and the moment afro-pop went from regional to global; The Beaches bring the Toronto indie-rock-pop bridge that defined the year’s breakout indie-band narrative; Tash Sultana closes the run with the looper-and-guitar one-person-band moment that defined the year’s breakout-act narrative. The December-edition working-rotation, intact and ready for the year-end week.
