The quality of music in 2018 has not been the best. For the most part, it has been pretty mediocre. We had a lot of terrible rap music, which is derivative of what we have heard in previous years. However, with that poor quality of music--we still had a few gems, and we will discuss some of them in this post, and in my Top 45 Songs of 2018--of course.
Now, with that off of my chest, let's get onto this year in the world of Hits 1. We will start by reviewing all of the #1 songs this year on Hits 1. We did have quite a few good songs hit #1 this year, but we did have one of the worst songs of the year spend nine weeks atop the countdown--which was not good. Regardless, let's review these songs right now.
