Best songs of 2015

Jazz, funk and spoken word came back through hip-hop's front door on one record that took a year to be fully absorbed. Streaming quietly passed everything else in the same twelve months, which changed how albums were sequenced long before anyone admitted it.

Songs from the albums of 2015, ordered by their own ratings rather than the record's.

One great song, one bad album

Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
