Best songs of 2018

Country, hip-hop and pop stopped pretending they served separate markets, and the charts stopped being able to tell them apart. Producers ran the year: short albums, tight rosters, seven tracks at a time, released weekly from a ranch in Wyoming.

Songs from the albums of 2018, 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.
