Half Term Report: The Top 20 Songs of 2012 So Far

Seeing as we are near the halfway point of this calendar year, I thought it would be an appropriate time to rank the top 20 songs that have been released to the masses this year. Now as always, not every song is perfect (more on that shortly) however the songs I have selected are not the perennial best sellers (although some are) however I find these songs to be my personal favourites halfway through the year.

Watch The Throne UK Tour Concert Review

Kanye West said it all at the end of this two and a half hour megashow: ‘If this is anybody’s first concert, it only goes downhill from here”.

On the 20th May 2012, myself and fellow site writer Elliott ‘Fawnz’ Thorne embarked on a trip to London to see two of our musical idols perform live in concert, Jay Z & Kanye West, performing as the Throne. Arriving at London’s o2 Arena at around 5 o’clock (via a boat from the London eye no less) and with the gates set to open at half past six, we were anticipating quite the wait to actually get into the arena itself. We came with the plan to get Throne merchandise before the concert started, in order for us to avoid the post concert queues and to ensure that we could actually wear the t-shirts during the concert itself. Buying my Ball So Hard t-shirt meant covering it over my Keep Calm And Tebow shirt, a personal favourite but tonight was meant to be about the music and not sport.
