The top 10 best songs of 2017: Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars and more!

2017 brought us a number of poppin' hits as hip hop ruled popular music this year!

Cardi B rose from Love & Hip Hop fame to No. 1 on the Billboard charts with her hit song "Bodak Yellow." 

DJ Khaled recruited Rihanna and Bryson Tiller for their catchy summer banger, "Wild Thoughts." 

And, let's not forget when Kendrick Lamar reminded us to 'be humble,' and when chicks wanted to be 'bad and boujee' all while Childish Gambino told us to 'stay woke' in his triple platinum song "Red Bone."

Here are my top 10 songs of the year:
