TOP 200 OF 2013 – 26-50 / 51-100 / 101-150 / 151-200 [/highlight]

Like the music blog equivalent of that bloke who runs the marathon in a deep sea diving suit, the final part of the Top 200 tracks of 2013 arrives painfully late.  The time-keeping may be shoddy but the music is anything but.
2013 follows 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 (check them out if you have the stamina) in offering up far too much incredible music, even for this blogs preposterously long chart.  

So if you have a spare 15 hours, sit back, fire up one of the playlists above, or scroll down these pages and you’ll hopefully find a few tunes that make your jaw drop, your heart flutter or your derrière shake just a little.
