2024 MUZICBUFF AWARDS! PLUS YEAR END CHARTS!

2024 HAS ACTUALLY BEEN A GREAT YEAR IN MY OPINION FOR POP MUSIC.  AS I GET OLDER I HAVE BEEN NOT FOLLOWING THE USUAL POP MUSIC TRENDS BUT SOME OF THE NEWER ARTISTS TEND TO MAKE A SONG THAT RESINATES WITH ME.  TAKE FOR INSTANCE BILLIE EILISH WHO RELEASED THE SONG "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" WHICH TO ME IS A BRILLIANT SONG.  I HAVEN'T BEEN THE BIGGEST FAN OF HER MUSIC BUT THIS BROKE THE MOLD FOR ME.  "BIRDS" LANDED AT NUMBER #22 ON MY YEAR END LIST.  I ALSO BECAME A BIG FAN OF TEDDY SWIMS, NOT FOR "LOSE CONTROL" BUT FOR HIS PHENOMINAL SOUL HIT "THE DOOR" WHICH PLACED AT #4 FOR THE YEAR.
