And another year is going by, and the best of the year lists arrive.
As habitual, I've prepared mine, both of them, Best singles of the year and Best albums of the year.
I have to announce new rules for the singles one, rules that I've auto imposed to myself. These are the following rules:
1- All the songs on the list must have been physical single during 2007. If it's not like this, download single or promotional song/video of the album is allowed.
2- Evident re-editions, in a year that they've been so common, are not taken into account. No covers too.
3- No more than one song per artist is included on the list.
4- Songs that appeared in last year's list are not included as well.
So the list is longer than ever, 100 songs that make the soundtrack of this year, most of them with its promotional video or live performance in the case there's no video. Here we go in countdown order:
