PopMatters The 75 Best Songs of 2013

November was an appetizer, December is the judgement month. The first big webzine speaking is PopMatters that today published its chart of The 75 Best Songs of 2013. #1 is Daft Punk's Get Lucky, and it's likely we'll find it on the top of many other lists. Some choices sound a bit non-conventional (I Wanna Be Yours as best track from Arctic Monkeys' Am, I Appear Missing from Queens of the Stone Age's Like Clockwork), some other may be indications for the upcoming Top Albums chart (four albums are present with two tracks: Haim's Days Are Gone, Kayne West's Jeezus, Okkervil River's The Silver Gymnasium, Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City). Finally, Spotify percentage is quite high: just two songs missing (see below for full data).

Enjoy.

P.S. Complete list of Spotirama end-of-2013 playlists is here (Mojo, Uncut, Q, Amazon, Zane Lowe, Rough Trade Shops...).

NME Best 75 Tracks & Albums of 2010 on Spotify

What:

New Musical Express (NME) just published its Top 75 albums & tracks charts for 2010. I spotified them!

Comment:

I made two playlists of the albums chart. The first is the mammoth, with full albums in it. The last is graduated, based on chart positions: two songs from albums from #61 to #75, three songs from #46 to #60, and so on. Useful if you don't want (or don't have the time) to listen to the full works. Percentages are good, about 80%. Pity that number ones (Foals and These New Puritans) are missing from both the playlists. Enjoy!

P.S. Please notice the number of tracks in the first album playlist: it's been a hell of an year... :o)
