Rowe's Island Countdown - 1 Year Strong - 12/7/13

It was a year ago this week that I decided I really wanted to make this personal countdown a permanent thing. I thought if I could make it last a year, then I'd be happy and here we are. Whether anyone else in the world reads this, I like documenting my favorite songs as time passes. I love that I made it 2013 finding something new and exciting every week. CHVRCHES and Family of the Year are my favorite new artists of the year, and "The Mother We Share" gets stuck in my head almost every day. I can only hope that 2014 continues to rock.

The Neighbourhood hovered around the top for so long, only to be knocked out of #1 in a single week by The National and their instant-classic "Don't Swallow the Cap." There's some tough competition from White Lies, as well as fresh singles from CHVRCHES and Fitz and the Tantrums climbing the ranks rapidly.
