Favorite Albums And Songs – First Quarter 2019
Can you believe the list-pocalypse is already upon us? No, it’s not December yet, but certain music outlets are known for releasing quarterly lists to share their favorite albums and songs of a calendar year.

We’ve arrived to the final list at The Musical Divide for 2018.

Editor’s note: Please keep in mind that all remarks extend only toward the music and not the artists themselves.
