For the last five years, I have been releasing my Top 100 songs list at the end of the year. This year however, I upped it to 150 songs as there was a large list of songs I wanted to include. I don't have too much to say, so here it is!

Last year when I posted my top 100 songs list, I did so by posting videos and links to videos in groups of ten. That turned out to be a little much, so I will return to just listing the 1oo songs in one post. There were a number of new artists I very much enjoyed this year (Smallpools, American Authors, Bastille), artists I've liked for a while with new releases (Phoenix, Kate Nash, Barenaked Ladies, Streetlight Manifesto), artists who aren't new but I just discovered (Fitz and the Tantrums, Dr. Awkward) and many others. In total there are 66 different artists on this list, not including those who collaborated with the main artists. There were 22 artists with multiple entries on this list. This includes six with three entries (Fitz and the Tantrums, The Lonely Island, Ylvis, Vampire Weekend, Youngblood Hawke and Smallpools) and two with a whopping five songs (The Mowgli's, Dr. Awkward). There are also eight artists who are on this list for a second year in a row, five who took last year off but were on my 2011 list, and four who are on my list for a third year in a row (Big D and the Kids Table, The Lonely Island, Childish Gambino and Grouplove). Interestingly, I'm not that big of a fan of Grouplove, but they always have one song that I do kinda like. Usually when an artist releases an album, they will have a number of singles that are released throughout the next several months. Because of that, there are five songs that I didn't really know well enough at the end of 2012 that would make my top 100 in either year. Since technically they aren't new and I had my chance to like them in 2012, I have not included them in this list. Those songs are as follows:
One final statement. If you are interested in listening to this list as a playlist, I have it created on Spotify. If you are already my friend, you can just find the playlist "2013 100" and like it. Otherwise you can also ask to be my friend. Enjoy the list!
And finally, the top 10... 10. It's Time - Imagine Dragons 9. Youth Without Youth - Metric 8. Rise to the Sun - Alabama Shakes 7. Radioactive - Imagine Dragons 6.
