If you have been a fan of this site for the past while, or even if you have been just perusing, you may have noticed we have posted many WOW Hits predictions at strategic points during the year for a particular installment. Because there is only space for 39 songs on each WOW Hits (maybe even less on previous years, especially in the 2000’s when there weren’t any bonus deluxe editions!), it’s understandable when a few smash hit songs are omitted for reasons unknown.
However, given that we have done predictions for a few WOW Hits throughout our time as a site, it’s time to once again revisit another WOW Hits, and see if the track listing is really the ‘year’s best’ or not (as we have done previously for WOW Hits 2009!). So…you can view the official track list of WOW Hits 2013 on Wikipedia, and then my fantasy list below (which include some tracks the same as the official list, and some tracks different)! Enjoy reading!
