Over 60 lists. Over 150 contributors. Over 900 artists. Explore amazing music from around the world in our Best of 2016 series.

Over 150 music journalists from more than 70 countries have taken part in our Best of 2016 music marathon, where you can discover great local artists scene by scene.

Two things we want to add:

1. Thanks to all music experts who spent hundreds of hours contributing to this global music marathon! Let us mention everyone does it for free.

2. Thanks to all musicians for giving us all this amazing work! Especially to those who keep making music in spite of a very difficult situation in their home country.

And below is our playlist with 150 tracks we presented and loved last year. Could be 1500!
