Podcast: TOP 10 Most Meaningful Popular Songs of 2016

Podcast: TOP 10 Most Meaningful Popular Songs of 2016

So, I researched all of the Top 10 songs of 2016 (according to Billboard.com), and I found 58 songs that were extremely popular in 2016. It just so happens that 10 of these songs (with two honorable mentions) were also rather deep and had interesting things to say. So, today my beautiful wife April and I discuss these songs and what exactly their meanings are (and, in April's case, why I might be wrong). Enjoy!
