2020 has been a dumpster fire of a year in many ways for sure, and music was not immune from the sheer disaster. Still, thankfully, I was able to find solace in 120+ songs that rose to the top of/for my annual favorite songs list. (Note: I'm not counting down here; I went right for the top spot starting at #1.)
