The year isn’t complete without the Babylon TOP100! Another year gone with many memories to take with us as we enter the new decade! Like every year, we had ups and downs in 2019, but all in all, we think things looked a lot better than previous years!

So many things happened: biggest protests in Iraq since 2013, leading to the PM resigning, KRG got a new PM as Nechirvan Barzani passed it on to Masrour Barzani, Rojava got attacked, Logan Paul fought KSI again, Uber-style taxis (Careem and Obr) launched in Kurdistan, Starbucks and Burger King opened up in Erbil, pomegranate season exploded, top movies included Lion King, Joker, Charlies Angels, Avengers (AGAIN!) End Game, Maleficent, Frozen 2, everyone wanted to dress as La Casa De Papel for Halloween, Jonas brothers got back, Kanye became religious, Prince Harry becomes a father, we got lights on 120m (don’t work all the times thou), Jennifer Aniston broke Instagram, Justin Bieber got married, so did the Rock and Pewdiepie, Trump showed off his Photoshop skills, Messi wins player of the year award (for the 6th time!), HBO’s Chernobyl took front stage, Tesla shocks everyone with new truck, fake rumors of Pitbull concert in Erbil spread like fire and most importantly we were bless with GREAT music!!

Here on Babylon FM, we always end the year by looking back at the best music that were released. This year we got Noor, Zoe, Zane, Dalawi, Slomo, Em and the newcomer Lara! Noor’s fiance Maryam and her maid-of-honor Dudu joined the fun too! 2019’s theme was Noor’s marriage and how the rest of the crew tried to stop the party from happening since Noor decided to cancel the TOP100! This year was extra special, as found out who was the artist decade champion! After fans voted for 2 months on our Instagram as 64 artists went head to head, and Ed Sheeran came out on top.
