The final DIY top ten songs playlist for 2021 has dropped. Right here. And it’s a superb one.
In fact, many of the artists and bands in this particular Top 10 are also some of our top Artists/Bands to Watch in 2022. More on that in the ensuing days.
We’ve carefully listened to hundreds and hundreds of submissions this year (not to mention all of the non-submission releases), and shared those throughout the year via posts and top 10 playlists.
In the playlist below, you’re going to find a lot of nice little goodies (surprises?) from artists and bands you’ve probably never heard of before, including YEN Strange; Poploader; Connor Eko; New Moons; Loops & Loops; Andrew LaVogue; Nick County (see Nick’s album in IRC’s Overlooked Albums of 2021); Alisha Liston; Blunt Bangs and Carnation Blue.
NOTE: As with many of our playlists, we are going to use Spotify stream counts to rank No. 1 to No. 10 as much as possible (unless a song is so internally loved we’ll pump it up the count regardless) for the sequential order of the tracks. You decide which are your favorites.
