Fifty years ago, I made my first appeared on the Earth.  In celebration, we are going to take a look at the year-end Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for each year of my life and see what songs resonated with me at the time and if they continue to do so to this day.

We continue our look back at the music of my lifetime with 2016, the year I celebrated my 42nd birthday.  A mere two of these songs are familiar to me, with just one appearing in my collection in one way or another.

#79: Taylor Swift – Wildest Dreams

Peaking at #5 in November of 2015, it returned to the charts in 2021 thanks to the re-recorded Taylor’s Version, where it reached #19.

#7: Adele – Hello
iTunes stats: N/A

The last #1 single of 2015 and the first of 2016, it spent ten total weeks atop the Hot 100.
