Time for the 3rd
annual System has been disrupted favourite songs of 2012. I’ve limited it to
one song per artist, (although a couple of people sneak onto the list twice as
featured artists) which proved tough for artists like Killer Mike and Frank
Ocean, who were responsible for my two favourite albums of the year. At the
moment, the tracks featured on this list by these artists are my favourite but
if you asked me last week what my favourite track was, they could easily been
replaced by other tracks from these two standout albums. Some of these tracks were under-exposed, others like Gangnam Style couldn’t be avoided. I'm just pleased that I don't live in Korea anymore, otherwise I would have had to learn that dance for sure. Anyway, here's my 50 favourite songs
(not necessarily the best) in alphabetical order.
