Every Monday I share something I am currently listening to and I love getting to spend some dedicated time each week deciding what song or artist to feature. Sometimes it’s an older song, other times it might be an artist you’ve never heard of before. With so many potential songs to choose from, it was hard to narrow down the list to just 10 songs. I tried to make sure there was a good variety in this list — party jams, ballads, and up-and-coming performers. What was your favorite Music Monday of the year?
