We all know 2020 was a complicated year to say the least. Luckily for everyone, the creative synergy between songwriters, producers, and artists throughout the world kept churning and brought a little more happiness in our lives when we needed it the most. We asked members of our staff to compile a list of their favorite new albums and songs that they had on repeat all of 2020.
