That being said, here are some of my absolute favorite songs, mixes & memories from 2011. My ears remind me that I had a great year :)
I almost cried a bit when I went looking for this video for this post. This song makes me so happy and reminds me of all of my happiest memories in 2011. This year was a big one for Ms. Nicki Minaj too - this song has been on the Billboard top pop singles chart all year. She's come a long way from when I wrote about her two years ago. I'm so proud to be a fan!
This is my favorite mix track of the year. It reminds me of all the girls' nights out this year getting sweaty & workin it out on the dance floor :)
Beyonce: Countdown (JACK BEATS REMIX) by Jack Beats
Frank Ocean burst on the scene this year, stole my heart & dominated my eardrums for most of the year!
Probably my most anticipated album of the year!
Who Gon' Stop Me - Jay-Z & Kanye West, Watch the Throne
There's nothing I love more than supporting hometown talent. These are my three favorite Seattle DJs (Scene's in Vegas now but still reps the 206!) and the mixes that stayed with me at the gym, at work, in the car, walking around downtown and everywhere in between.

Rihanna was everywhere this year. This is a dancehall take on my favorite track from "Loud."
Rihanna-Whats My Name Federation Remix Feat: Vybz Kartel
Coachella and all of my time spent in L.A. this year were definitely 2011 highlights. I had the pleasure of seeing Ellie Goulding for the first time.
I went to Vegas with some of my favorite girls in May and we had a blast, even during the rapture :) This was an appropriate theme song for the weekend:
Other bangers on heavy rotation:
Emo-hop
The Weeknd - The Birds (Part 1) by The_Weeknd
I make a lot of fun of Drizzy Drake but in all honesty, his Take Care album has been on repeat for the last few weeks!
