To follow my Top 40 Albums list, here are some my favourite songs of 2016. I've tried to be a little more varied for the purposes of this list, otherwise it would likely consist of songs selected exclusively from a handful of albums. 2016 has been a better year than most for good songs, as evident by the fact that I can choose 40 great songs where it would usually be just three or four. Hope you enjoy this selection!
