Why is it, every early December, we think the year was either special, odd, or rare? Okay, 2016 was definitely a year to remember – the crazy Presidential election, untimely deaths (David Bowie, Glenn Frey etc) and the birth of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds second child. Who were the most interesting artists, or musicians we think had an incredible year? Here are our thoughts…
• Adele (one billion YouTube views, record sales, solidified super stardom this year)
• Twenty One Pilots (Perhaps the best new artist of the year)
• Justin Bieber (Still knows how to make headlines and great music)
• Taylor Swift (A one of a kind cross-over artist that made $170 million this year)
• The Chainsmokers (Love this group, so glad they showed up)
• Rihanna (Still a powerful voice in song, beginning to like her acting skills)
• Shawn Mendes (Could be the start of something big, 2016 was the year for Shawn)
• Drake (2016 was a great year for this Drake, still smoother than silk)
• DNCE (Jonas brother that rocked on his own)
