Looks like a playlist according to auto translate, doesn't even seem to say best or favourite in the title http://www.mondosonoro.com/blog-musica/el-2016-en-canciones/ '2016 fifty songs As usual in recent years collect fifty songs that, for one reason or another, have marked this 2016 for us.

We need Henrik to make the call whether lists from energy drinks are eligible. I'm going to go out on a limb and say ... nah. Not that it's an uninteresting list (by all means, any and all EOY lists from any source should be posted here), but this is a website designed to advertise a product. It's ...

This is why none of the individual lists include Beyonce as she is inconveniently not on spotify, so despite being their no.1 album she appears on zero lists in their list of '100 Favorite Songs Of 2016', not even the one who did the write up on the album!? So I've removed Stereogum and added Irish...

It wasn't on last years spreadsheet, which is where I got the list from. I should probably add it. Thanks for the reminder!

We need Noisey in here as well. I'll get some links later.

I noticed one thing: the version of "My Funny Valentine" in Chet Baker's playlist is the version with Gerry Mulligan, but the solo version does show up in the Great American Songbook playlist.

Sweepstakes Ron

Looks like a single writer.

Sweepstakes Ron

No reviews, it seems. It is a TV channel, though, does that mean something?

Sweepstakes Ron

The album list is explicitly a single-writer list. The song list is less clear, but I don't think they meet reviews criteria (it is a sports website, after all).

Sweepstakes Ron

Huh, I didn't know Red Bull had such a thriving music department. I don't think it meets eligibility criteria, though, as it doesn't seem to do reviews. However, the whole thing seems to extend beyond a simple online magazine, so maybe there's something to circumvent that.

Sweepstakes Ron

I presume the rules are the same for song lists?

Sweepstakes Ron

I'm actually not too certain of its eligibility. The sites description reads: "You won’t find any scathing reviews or 1 out of 5 rankings on LA Music Blog because we aren’t interested in telling you what we don’t think you should listen to. Our team of bloggers only write about the music they w...

Elmore James seems to have recorded many different versions of "Dust My Broom" throughout his career (with at least one recording instead titled "Dust My Blues"). Finding the original recording (which has a harmonica part, which none of the later versions have) is somewhat hard, ...

Sweepstakes Ron

Then again, this site does have impressive staying power. Would anyone really complain if we included it?

I see those as two entirely different songs.

This was in Shrek! It seems John Cale first did "Hallelujah" in 1991. Did he redo it this year?

Sweepstakes Ron

Another Ellington note... Would the version of "In a Sentimental Mood" he did with John Coltrane be counted separately from the version already listed? I saw one list credit it just to Coltrane, but he never recorded it solo as far as I know.

Sweepstakes Ron

Oh yeah, and the 1987 version of New Order's "Temptation", at least according to Wikipedia.

Was there ever a definitive decision on whether or not the song list is eligible? I put it in the spreadsheet anyway, for traditions sake.

Sweepstakes Ron

Should I erase sources from the original post when they're added?

I'm gonna do it.

Sweepstakes Ron

I haven't listened to Coloring Book, so for those who have: should "Blessings" and "Blessings (reprise)" be listed separately on the songs spreadsheet?

We have lists from all three categories now (though UK and Rest of World only have one each), so let's get started! Please let me know of any songs from earlier years so I can mark them.

Is there going to be another "help wanted" spreadsheet for the new songs?

Sweepstakes Ron

On an unrelated note, I feel like all the lists so far have opened with a statement along the lines of "2016 sucked, except for the music."

Sweepstakes Ron

Stereogum's songs list wasn't included last year. Is it not eligible?

So far, we have two songs list, both with 50 songs each, and there's only 5 songs in common between the two.

Sweepstakes Ron

It is an updated version of Creswell's 1001 Songs, already on AM.

Sweepstakes Ron

Also, at the beginning of the section for each decade, there is a selection of songs from a certain genre prominent during that decade. Some of these songs are also included in the main list, but some are not.

The song list seems like it may be a one-writer list, but I'm still including it in the spreadsheet until Henrik says to do otherwise.

I did a little tinkering to come up with a very rudimentary formula for ranking the popularity of the artists based on the spreadsheet. (mean + median - standard deviation)/2 * [number of votes]
