My Top 100 Singles of 2012
I already wrote about pretty much all of these songs, broken down by genre, in my posts of the 20 best hits of the year for pop radio, R&B radio, rock/alternative radio, rap radio and country radio. But of course, I gotta do the main big list with everything under the same big tent, although things are still consistent with those other lists (only exceptions: "Locked Out Of Heaven" by Bruno Mars and "Try" by Pink grew on me enough in the last couple weeks to leap up the list, and down at the bottom a lot of stuff from certain lists (mostly country) got bumped out to make room for some other stuff that wasn't on any of the genre lists (mostly rap and R&B).
