151 best song of the year

In the last issue of the music section on Look at Me - 100 and the 51st more song of the year according to editor Artyom Makarsky.

You know how it usually happens: at the end of the year, the publications are trying to take stock and remind that many have missed good and bad in a year. This section will not be an exception: at first I came up with the idea of selecting the 100 best songs of this year, and literally on the night before the release of Mix, I decided to supplement it with the second part - with Russian music. Of course, the division of music into Russian and foreign looks somewhat strange, but I decided that the inclusion of the whole pair of Russian -speaking tracks would look ridiculous.

Gradually, I came to the conclusion that the final mix should be written live, word for word and now I am standing in the bar “Pine and Lipa” and putting Adele. Both mixes were made in constrained circumstances-in the first case, it was necessary to somehow fit 100 tracks at five o’clock (as a result, I managed in four) , in the second-to cope only with the help of a computer (usually I take it, even though this word should be taken into quotes, using a controller) . In both cases, it turned out a little clumsy, but at the same time honestly - for the Russian tracklist, I just chose the tracks that I wanted to put on repetition in a year. For foreign, too, but I was also guided by the tops of the members of our editorial office, which we shared in Slack a couple of weeks ago (for example, Anton Mukhataev asked me to mention in this text that the best albums of the year recorded Jam City and Abra) .

Of course, someone is clearly not enough. In the foreign top - Jenny Val and Vince Steiples, who at the very last moment disappeared from the tracker. In Russian is the Pharaoh rapper meme, but it is still in our mix about Russian hip-hop (plus I did not dare to cut the tracks of Moa Pillar and Forestepe, which recorded excellent albums, which really could not choose the best composition) . And there is still no Arca, Lotic, “Furfur journalist”, DzierZynski Bitz - many. In addition, at the last moment it turned out that in the Russian mix still one song is more-you can consider it a bonus track. Yes, it is impossible to embrace the immense, but I at least tried. The order is random, all these tracks are the best, and this is by no means a hit parade. So, let's start with the foreign :

This is where we are finishing the musical results of the year. Thanks to everyone who listened to these mixes, many thanks to everyone who did them, gratitude to those who came to the “pine and lip” (and the bar itself) , with all of you! And pleasant to you listening.
