The Top 10 College Party Songs of 2018
2018 marks a year of highs and lows for music with several artists passing away and new artists blossoming. As another year of spectacular and not-so spectacular music comes to a close, we want to reminisce about some of the most popular party songs we heard at every get-together on campus this year. 2018 was the year of pop-rap combos and some unpredictable music collabs that none of us saw coming.
To wrap it all up, here are the top 10 party songs of 2018:

BlocBoy JB & Drake “Look Alive” Prod By: Tay Keith (Official Music Video) Shot By: @Yoo Ali
I don’t know about you, but I definitely didn’t see this collab coming… BlocBoy JB came out of nowhere with his big break happening after the release of “Shoot.” Originally from Memphis, BlocBoy JB started a dance craze in his town and kept the fire burning with another release, “Rover.” It wasn’t until after “Rover” that he caught Drake’s eye. As a result, “Look Alive” was released as a sequel to “Rover.” The difference? Drake!
2. “God’s Plan” by Drake
Drake – God’s Plan
Drake made 2018 his year. One of his many 2018 hits, “God’s Plan” had its video shot in Miami where many music videos take place. The catch? Drake spent around a million dollars filming and donating money to different organizations around the city (Miami Senior High School, Sabor Tropical Super Market, Women’s homeless shelter, Lotus House Miami and Destiny James, University of Miami student). As a student at the University of Miami, I was casually walking across campus and stumbled upon Drake shooting his music video on our campus after generously donating $50,000 of scholarship money to one of my classmates. You can understand why “God’s Plan” was played at Miami parties for months to follow…
3. “Nice for What” by Drake
Drake – Nice For What
Yup, it’s another Drake track. He topped the charts again in 2018 with “Nice for What.” This song drew a lot of positive attention for its lyrics dedicated to praising women who work extremely hard each day. “Nice for What” discusses different situations faced by modern-day women. Strategically released in a year of social movements and female empowerment, “Nice for What” is a favorite for good reason.
