More than 10 years ago, in 2009, I started to publish every time in December my personal best-of list of the songs that accompanied me all over the year. When I started back in 2009, Spotify and other streaming offers did not exist. People bought music (yes, every song!) or used half-legal ways in the net.
The world has changed and nowadays music is available everywhere. In the past, I prepared an excel sheet, created a list here on this website and in the blog and then sometimes even a remix of the first 10 songs of the charts. With Spotify everything changed: Since 2013 I offer the list digitally to all people that use Spotify.
Despite technical changes, the Alpemare Songs of the Year remain focused on “music with beat” from all parts of Europe, with special attention to the romanic language group, so Italy, Spain, Romania and France, but also from the Netherlands, Belgium or Sweden. You will hardly find any German song in this list;)
On this page you can find an overview of the Songs of the Year of the last years and also links to the Spotify playlists as well as for the older years more detailed information about the charts, this content is only available in German.
