These songs were ‘almost’ famous! Here are 124 songs that missed the 100 Best Songs of 2017. Good songs that missed the cut for whatever reason.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings (Soul of a Woman), Miguel (War & Leisure), and SZA (Ctrl), lead the list of 15 Best R&B Albums of 2017.

Logic, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, Sam Smith, and Childish Gambino rank among the elite on the ‘100 Best Songs of 2017’ year-in-review playlist.

In our latest ‘secular songs’ playlist, we explore 11 songs that make reference to God. Some are indeed sincere, but not all them are ‘sanctified.’

‘Soul of a Woman’ is a fitting ‘final act’ for soul-revivalist collective Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, following the passing of Jones in 2016.

Tim McGraw & Faith Hill are the talk of this week’s music shopping list, releasing their highly-anticipated collaborative album, ‘The Rest of Our Life.’
