This is the Happyoblivion Best of 2016, part 1 of 2 this week.  We will go over the best tracks from singles & EPs in 2016.  There are also some singles are off of LPs that didn't make the cut for best albums, but just happen to be good enough to stand on their own.  First part of the show features songs in no particular order, but the latter part of the show we do our top 20 countdown!

Part 2 will be next week and we will look back at the best LPs (full length albums) of 2016!
