The initial plan for today was to do a Top 10 with my favorite record labels. The Top 10 was already sorted. But off course I wanted to do some additional research and share a favorite track from the labels. But apprently Discogs was doing some maintenance which caused lots of site errors. So the favorite label list will be tomorrow.
So I needed a plan B, and a plan B is most of the times a favorite music list from a specific year. And today it is too. I chose for 2013, a bit of a special year for us. At the end of 2012 I went on a holiday with my dear friend Natasja. But somewhere on that trip there were some great developments and in January 2013 we returned as a couple💕
Therefore 2013 is very special to us. I moved to Vianen, Natasja joined me on her first trip to Bretagne in Spring. Many many good memories.
And when I look at the charts from that year, there was some proper music too. Here are some of my favorite tunes. Enjoy!
1. Maître Gims – J’me tire
Mentioned before in my French Top 10. On Day nr 2.
2. Armin van Buuren feat. Trevor Guthrie – This Is What It Feels Like
I have not mentioned many Armin tracks yet, but a dedicated list is planned for his birthday on Christmas Day.
3. Bruno Mars – Locked Out Of Heaven
Hard to believe that this is already 10 years old. Feels like yesterday.
4. Daft Punk – Get Lucky feat. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers
See previous comments.
5. Klangkarussell – Sonnentanz
Would have been a good one for the German list.
6. Racoon – Oceaan
Racoon first song in Dutch. Was a bit strange at the time, but looking at their last album a great move.
7. Pharrell Williams – Happy
Busy year for Pahrell with some great hits.
8. Robin Thicke – Blurred Lines ft. T.I. & Pharrell
Yep, even more Pharell.
9. Eminem ft. Rihanna – The Monster
10. Martin Garrix – Animals
Not Martijn first single, but definately his breakthrough.
