Trainwreck’d Society’s Top 40 Singles of 2018 [Exclusive]

2018 was another year that really didn’t seem to lend itself to a plethora of great singles while the year was on going. But, when I sat down to compile a list to finish up the year, I discovered that I was able to pull about 50 tracks just from memory alone. And then with a bit more research to jog my brandy soaked memory, the list went to over 100. So, it most have actually been a pretty good year.

For those of you who have been following us here at Trainwreck’d Society, you may see a bit of a shift in sound than there was in previous years. And that is strictly personal, and on me. I’ve found myself to be interested in a bit more modern hip hop and R&B. This year’s list may be a bit more “mainstream” than in previous years. Although a few familiar faces did show up, and of course they were near the top of the list. But, I couldn’t help getting sucked into the modern web of autotuned madness that has become quite popular. In fact, 2018 was the year that I finally got into a cat that I knew by name, but never really gave him a listen. His name is Post Malone, and yes, he shows up a few times. This was also the year that my favorite rapper of all time dropped his best album in 17 years. We even dipped into the metal genre thanks to some influence by our dear friend Adam Mattson. Sprinkle in some good old fashion folk joints, and I believe you will find a pretty solid list of tracks below.

Or not. Either way, these are the official picks for Trainwreck’d Society’s Top 40 Singles of 2018. Enjoy!
