Eight down, two to go (and for one of those we'll have to wait until the end of the year) 2017 was the year when statistically we were told "rap overtakes rock", something it had actually done a long time previously and would continue to do as Stormzy took all before him, Post Malone became a major star and occasional dabbler/definitely not rock Ed Sheeran's ÷ not only became the fastest selling album by a male solo artist ever but caused a change in the singles chart rules as he absolutely flooded the place. Meanwhile One Love Manchester showed what pop could do when struck at its heart and Fyre Festival was a bonfire of the vanities that just provided more content rather than bring (m)any down. This is the one year of the decade that we had the most trouble slimming down to forty tracks, but we eventually managed it...
