1. Drake - Over

If this track doesn't make you want to punch the air and pour champagne all over yourself then you are officially not my friend. NOPE. NOT MY FRIEND.

2. Anais Mitchell - Way Down Hadestown

The star-studded 'Hadestown' cast at their finest, this track is pretty much crying out to be tap-danced to. I want to live in Hadestown with Justin Vernon. Can somebody arrange this? Thanks.
