Wet Thud's Top 100 Songs of 2017


This is what 2017 sounded like according to Wet Thud. As is usually the case, there's a couple of stragglers from the final weeks of last year in the mix too, either because they dropped after we'd already posted our 2016 list, or because we slept on them for a few weeks. Anyhow, here's the list. Enjoy. As always, you'll find a Spotify playlist of the entire Top 100 following number one.
