DrogeMiester's Top 10 FAVORITE EDM Songs of 2017

Last year as a part of my end of year music lists, I decided to add in my favorite EDM songs of the year. I follow the EDM charts just as often as I do the regular Hot 100 since it is my favorite genre, so why not throw together a list of my favorites from that chart? Even though that list didn't get as much attention as the other lists I had done, I had so much fun putting it together and looking back on it throughout the year that I had to do it again this year. So here we are. My personal favorite EDM songs of 2017. To be eligible for this list, the songs had to debut on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic charts during 2017. Like with my favorite songs of the year, the songs also had to be fairly new songs as well. Within reason. A remix of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" debuted this year around Halloween. I didn't count that. And I also didn't count all of Lady Gaga's music that debuted on the EDM charts after her Super Bowl halftime performance. My hope here, since you may not have heard many of these, is that you actually take the time to listen to these songs instead of just looking at the title. In addition, feel free to check out my list of most popular and personal favorite songs in the recent blog archives if you missed them and look forward to my least favorite songs coming soon!

10- "Light Beams" - Extasia & Zach Adams featuring Rony G


9- "Scared to be Lonely" - Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa

DrogeMiesters Top 10 FAVORITE EDM Songs of 2016

Ever since the Billboard calendar year ended in the middle of December, I've been working on getting my end of year lists out to you. The goal was to release them once a week from December 19 through January 9. That's four lists in four weeks. I did good with my first two lists, my list of the most popular songs of 2016 and my list of my personal favorite songs of 2016. But creating my list of my least favorite songs of 2016 proved difficult, so that threw things off a bit. Then when I went to go create my list of my favorite EDM songs, that took even longer. But this time around it was a lot of fun because electronic music has always been my favorite ever since I was young. I love the sound and the creativity. Some people complain that it's just made behind a computer and not with real instruments. I could argue that in depth, but the short version is that that's a very ignorant take on electronic music. Eligible for this list was any song that debuted on the Hot Dance/Electronic charts in 2016, a lot of which I really enjoyed, which is why this took so long to wade through. I hope you enjoy!
