Our Favorite Songs of 2012 | Songs of the Year

Welcome to our Songs of the Year series. Today we're looking at 2012! Every Friday we will each be choosing our favorite songs of a year, starting in 1958 and going all the way through 2021. We will be making five selections from the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Any song that broke the Hot 100 at any point during the year is eligible. After that we'll be making five more 'wildcard' selections. These picks can come from anywhere. They could've charted as well, but they could also be album cuts, from soundtracks, b-sides...anything at all. And lastly, we'll also be choosing our least favorite song to crack the Top 40. **** Here's the Year End Top 50. Will any of these make our lists? 1.
