We do like a recap, don't we? This list is hard to do as it changes constantly. Here is one last attempt. I should note I learned about many of these songs, which are not all singles, from you. Some of the sound quality on the streams is a bit meh (#apols, as one tweets). 1 Florrie I Took A Little Something UK [...]

Throughout 2011, a total of 14 singles topped Billboard 's Hot 100 chart. Grammy-nominated UK songbird Adele was the artist who spent the most weeks at #1 this year with her first two 21 singles . Rihanna had the song that was perched in the chart throne the longest . Katy Perry had the most #1s, while Christina Aguilera returned to the top after a 10-year absence. Also, Wiz Khalifa, Pitbull, LMFAO and Calvin Harris all took trips to the peak position on the Hot 100 [...]

2011 was a real chicken-and-egg kind of year in music. Was there really less amazing music or did everything sound a little duller because it was a difficult year for me personally? Was there less sonically interesting music in 2011 or was it because I cut way back on listening to music with headphones? Was there less originality or is it because we're so bombarded with music all the time that it just takes so much more to cut through the sheer volume? While it may have been for personal reasons, it did seem as though 2011 was [...]

I did this the other year and it went over pretty well I have to say. One thing about putting up a list of music that you are saying is your "best", "favourite" or "Top 12 of the year" is that your actual opinion is involved. What? Who needs opinion as it is rarely not swayed by what you think is good or what you might think fits your persona or what your readers want you to like. Well let's get rid of that elephant in the room and go with our iTunes playcounts [...]
As we try to wrap our ears around 2011, we've come up with our favorite tracks of 2011. We're going to break our Top 100 songs into two segements, you know, so as to leave a little tiny bit of suspense. I'm sure these won't include all your favorite hits, and it definitely won't be including any rap (sorry, we're racist), but there's definitely a whole bunch of songs on here that we know you loved, or at least we hope you loved them. Take a look see, and maybe you'll be able to pick out our Top 50 on [...]
Yahoo has gotten former President Bill Clinton to list his 20 favorite songs, and I'm relieved that none of them is Lee Greenwood's God Bless ...
Summer is over this weekend (though from the weather around here, you'd think that it was finally just beginning ). I was seriously underwhelmed in the album category this year, but there were a ton of great singles to choose from. Here's an album's worth (in no particular order) of what I've been listening to over and over again. What about you? Example - Changed The Way You Kissed Me - Such a leap from his earlier work, which I also loved. It's just a gargantuan song waiting to crossover to the US. [...]

Tweet The last time we did this we gave away every single free MP3 that we posted during the month of July ....and even though it was hundreds of megabytes in size, there were over 1,000 downloads of it, but this month, or for last month's mix, we're just going to give you the tracks that we thought stood out the most. Each of the songs were given away for free either by the artist, the label, a PR firm, or other entity [...]

So this is a wee bit late -- sorry, I've been battling a cold since New Year's Day, bah -- but hopefully still relevant: three "discs" worth of 2008 quality music. This is meant to be a companion list... Continue reading "2008: The Year in Song, A to Z Style" >

Notice the careful word choice here. We're not so much cheerleading those songs that fall under the textbook definition of actual "singles"; rather, we prefer approaching this whole inexact science of "best-of-ology" with open minds and even more open (opener?) ears. Which is to say this: the following represents our favorite songs from 2008. Tops. Period. Fully subjective, fully filtered through our own personal tastes, and fully responsible for rocking EAR FARM's world in 2008. So let's do this thing, shall we? Scroll down to view/listen to the full countdown of EAR FARM's Top Songs Of 2008. [...]
