It’s that time of the year again when “Best Of” lists are going to be pumped out by the dozen. TIME has joined in on the fun with a bunch of lists of their own, but I want to focus on their top 10 songs specifically. The list is uh…interesting, to say the least. No doubt most of these are good songs and were hits, but their ranking, the absence of others…it’s kind of random! Check it out below and share your thoughts!
