Music is huge part of everyone's life and it's always something we can look forward to on a specific date (unless you're Frank Ocean) which is super reassuring. Last year was definitely a great year for music, but this year definitely has a lot of potential as well and it's only February. Here are some of the best songs/albums of 2017 thus far.

1. After The Party- The Menzingers

This album was released less than a week ago and I'm already in love with it. My favorite songs on it so far are definitely "Tellin' Lies" and "Lookers".

2. Castle on the Hill and Shape of You- Ed Sheeran

If anyone tells you they weren't excited for some new Ed Sheeran in their life, cut them off immediately.

3. Bad and Boujee- Migos

This has been a fan favorite over the past month. The song is absolutely unavoidable. It's been featured in memes and a frequent request in frat houses everywhere.

4. Say You Won't Let Go- James Arthur

This song is a guilty pleasure. Very sappy, but sooooo catchy.

5. Scared To Be Lonely- Martin Garrix

Fresh off the press, this song has some hard hitting lyrics and a catchy tune. It is quite the bop.

6. Love is Mystical- Cold War Kids

I've always been a fan of Cold War Kids and this new song is really REALLY good.

7. Lower Than Atlantis- Dumb

I never really listened to this band until this song and I'm happy I came across it.

8. Girls Like- Yuppycult

I needed to listen to this song a few times before I decided if I liked it or not, but it is definitely growing on me.

9. Falling- Alesso

Alesso is always a hit and this new song is no different.

10. Big Picture- London Grammar

I am very very thankful that London Grammar is coming out with some new solid music!
