Here’s Every Song That Got the Cosmo Staff Through 2020, aka the Most Hellish Year Ever

2020 was the crappiest, most stress-inducing year in recent memory, so if you managed to get through it in one piece, congratulations! You are a true survivor. But let’s be real for a sec: We all needed help along the way to reach the other side of this dumpster fire. Staying in touch with friends and family, packing the cal with Zoom wine nights, and starting a new hobby (or five) kept us tied together with fragile smiles, but if you ask me, the real unsung hero was all the music we listened to…you know, to maintain our sanity. And the Cosmo staff is no exception.

We spent the past nine months feeding our ears hits instead of *ahem* going off on our families, roommates, children, furbabies, and/or significant others. If you’re looking for new music as we barrel into 2021, here is a handy-dandy playlist of the jamz that kept us afloat. (And yes, we turned them into a Spotify playlist.) Come for the roller coaster of emotions; stay for the impeccable taste!
