Popsugar Entertainment Best Of 2018 Best Songs 2018 50 Fantastic Songs That Well and Truly Helped Us Survive 2018 21 December 2018 by Ryan Roschke Wow, 2018 really did us in, didn't it? Even though a lot of the past 12 months have felt like hellfire and eternal suffering, one of the bright spots was certainly in the music world. We had Ariana Grande to help us move on from exes with her "Thank U, Next" release, while Janelle Monáe gave us the bisexual anthem we deserve. Meanwhile, on the "flying solo" front, Carly Rae Jepsen was gracious enough to drop the self-love bop we all desperately needed. It's called self-care, OK? To celebrate a year of true music excellence, we've compiled a huge selection of songs to help you bid farewell to 2018 (thank u), and say hello to 2019 (next). Don't forget to go all the way to the end — we made a Spotify playlist just for you. 1 "Make Me Feel" by Janelle Monáe 1 / 51 2 "High Horse" by Kacey Musgraves 2 / 51 3 "Only You" by Cheat Codes feat.
