top played songs of 2017

4 minute read

Perhaps you're like me and you recall Spotify's global outdoor ads that they ran toward the end of 2016. Essentially, it was a tongue in cheek way of poking fun at different listener's habits by crunching user data, either by the amount of times a certain song had be listened to or perhaps the title of a given curated playlist. Best example was this tagline: "Dear 3,749 people who streamed 'It's the End of the World as We Know It' the day of the Brexit vote, hang in there."

You get the idea.

Anyway, this year, Spotify came out with a personalized playlist for each person, curated with all their top played songs over the course of the year, which, much like photos, makes for a fun way to revisit and reflect on the year -- what you were doing, where you were going, how you were feeling -- based on the soundtrack you blasted.

Since I'm rounding up my favorite moments from the year for tomorrow's Top 17 of 2017, I figured I'd share my top songs of 2017 playlist as well, some more embarrassing than others (I mean, did I really listen to 'Despacito' that much?), some that still make me dance even though I've listened to it 2,431 times ('Want You Back' by Haim) and some that just really require no explanation at all (like the entire La La Land and Hamilton soundtracks).

So without further adieu, I give you my top play songs of 2017 -- I only ask that you don't judge me by how much Ed Sheeran I apparently listened to. Deal? Deal.

OUTFIT DETAILS: Leone dress // Sergio Rossi heels // Olympia Le-Tan clutch

[prodl brand="Solace London" product="Heloise Ribbed Midi Dress" description="Say hello to your new favorite shimmy, shimmy dress. Hugs just the right amount with a super open back, but the neckline and the overall length help balance it out. Might even be a great New Year's Eve dress contender." link="http://shopstyle.it/l/senZ"][/prodl]

[prodr brand="Ulla Johnson" product="Imogen Dress" description="While this dress doesn't have a low back like the one I'm wearing here, I actually love it for the same reason: it shows off a part of your body that isn't necessarily thought of as an obvious trigger point so to speak, in this case, your shoulders and collar bone. Both undeniably sexy, but in a more subtle, understated way." link="http://shopstyle.it/l/seqk"][/prodr]

[prodl brand="Alex Perry" product="Colton Strapless Dress" description="I just discovered Alexy Perry thanks to my Aussie friend, Izzy, here in Melbourne and ever since, I've been drooling over many of his pieces (some of which have slipped their way into the sale section, like this beauty here!). This particular dress is, in my opinion, the perfect shade of green -- deep olive/military green. And yours truly is tempted." link="http://shopstyle.it/l/sets"][/prodl]

[prodr brand="Khaite" product="Margot Slip Dress" description="You can never have too many slip dresses. But if you must limit yourself, I think at least round out your collection with one black one, one white or nude colored one and one in a fun, statement color, like this mustard, marigold one here. It's unexpected, in the best way possible." link="http://shopstyle.it/l/sevJ"][/prodr]
