Every year us Phoenix FM presenters are asked to give their ‘Presenter Picks’ – these are the album and single the presenters have enjoyed the most that year.
After already having a big toss up between Bastille’s Wild Word & Busted’s Night Driver for my chosen album, I also have lots of options which could be my potential single. So tonight’s playlist was made up of my favourite songs of 2016 to help me to decide which song to pick!

The Chainsmokers – Closer
Zara Larsson – Ain’t My Fault
Bastille – Send Them Off
Busted – On What Your On
Major Lazor ft Justin Beiber – Cold Water
Charli XCX – After the After Party
Clean Bandit ft Ann Marie & Sean Paul – Rockabye
Louisa Johnson – So Good
Hailee Steinfield, Grey ft Zedd – Starving
Bruno Mars – 24k Magic
Dua Lipa – Blow Your Mind
Twenty One Pilots – Heathens
Maroon 5 – Don’t Wanna Know
