The Top 10 Songs of 2017

The Top 10 songs of 2017!!
2017 has been a great year for fun pop songs getting into the upper portion of the Billboard HOT 100 Singles chart. Here's my Top 10 favorite songs of the year:

Attention - Charlie Puth

Charlie ended 2016 just being the duet partner who helped Selena Gomez deliver her most likeable hit in years, but he totally came into his own on this solo track. It's catchy and has a great beat. If only Charlie were setting the trend for others to do music as well as he is. Perfect for singing along with and dancing to on repeat all year long.    

I Feel It Coming - The Weeknd

When this guy gets it right he really hits it out of the park. This song is pure dance pop enjoyment and a very bright spot when it came on the radio.  

There's Nothing Holding Me Back - Shawn Mendes

Shawn was on tour this year with Charlie Puth and with songs like this they kept the crowds dancing and singing along with enthusiasm.    

Body Like A Back Road - Sam Hunt

This talented hunk is way too good to stay hidden away on the country charts. This year he crossed over in a big way with this fun and catchy hit.     

Feel It Still - Portugal. The Man

I am really hoping that Portugal. The Man does not turn into Portugal. The One Hit Wonder. This song is so good! It is instantly infectious and it does it all with a full band of real musicians playing real instruments!!      

Too Good At Goodbyes - Sam Smith

Sam Smith is back with the first single from his second album and his impressive vocal range is a very welcome return. Another soulful delivery of raw and heartfelt emotions.     

Chained To The Rhythm - Katy Perry

On her fourth album Katy proves she can still offer a catchy pop hit with dynamic and interesting visuals. The beat was perfect for dancing a samba.    

Slow Hands - Niall Horan

No longer fading into the background behind the other boys in One Direction, Niall is front and center on his own with the best solo release of the bunch. It's a sexy groove that really makes you move.     

That's What I Like - Bruno Mars

The retro 80's Funk inspired vibe on this song was a welcome addition to hear on the radio in 2017. Bruno is continuing to be a cut above the rest.    

Shape of You - Ed Sheeran

There's no denying that Ed gave the world one of the catchiest and most infectious songs of 2017. The beat was perfect for dancing a samba.
