2008; A Review in Song

Here’s my top fifty songs of 2008.

It’s not in order of preference, because I couldn’t be bothered after doing up a top 100 and accidentally deleting it. It will sound good if you play it in order, however. There’s a last.fm playlist available as well which will give you previews of some tracks. Have at it.
