This year has been a great year for music, with some of my favorite albums and songs of all time being released during this year. In honor of that, here are the 25 best songs released this year.

Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album The Life of a Showgirl is devoid of creativity and is 41 minutes of bland instrumentals and weak lyricism. The global superstar continues her downward trend of albums, as The Life of a Showgirl is Swift's weakest album yet.
