(December 23, 2015) SoulTracks has long been known for our music reviews and opinion pieces, but during 2015 some of our most popular features were our “First Listen” stories, where we debuted brand new songs for our readers before they could hear them on radio.
The “First Listen” stories this year were among the best we’ve ever done, and we’ve kept track of which among them were the most popular with our readers. Here are our Top 10 – the most popular songs on SoulTracks this year, based on how much you listened to them. You racked up listens for each in the thousands.
