Basic criteria for me:
Track that most defined a moment in time for the year: That's That gets it because I really associate with buying the album as a pre-release because I have a friend who works in a record store and sold it to me, and then I bumped it obsessively for like a whole month. Also, that was back when I was just getting into hip-hop for the first time at the beginning of the year, and I really connect it to that. Seeing as hip-hop has been the main music for me this year, that's important.
Most listened: There's definitely no track this year I've listened too half as much.
Still sounds great now: There's no track that hits me with as much visceral pleasure STILL at years end as this does.
About sums it up.
