In 2016, ratings for late night talk and sketch comedy shows increased at an impressive but expected rate. It’s no secret that bad politics makes for good comedic material. While comedians had fun with the particularly tumultuous election, it seemed safe to say that the liberal late night establishment was fully expecting a Clinton victory and a return to relative normality. Well, that didn't happen. Since then, late night comedy has been far from normal. From cries of fake news to frequent Twitter tirades, it's clear that Trump was the star of late night comedy this past year.

A year in which much of America was struggling with the reality of our divided nation also featured artists constantly creating—2017 came with a renovation to the music scene and made space for more creativity among artists. A lot has changed in the last year and that’s why 2018 is going to be a great year for music.

With 2017 already flying into the past (wtffff), we decided that it was high time to round up our best and favorite tracks of the year—and we're extremely proud to announce that Ed Sheeran is nowhere to be found. Without any further ado, here are Street's slappers of 2017, hand–selected by each member of Music staff:

Across a black banner at the top of Penn Masti's website, a white subtitle proudly declares that they are Penn's premier South Asian–fusion dance team. After speaking to the president and marketing chair, I can’t help but agree. President Akshat Agrawal and Marketing Chair Cabir Kansupada spoke with such adoration for their group that I couldn’t help but fall for Penn Masti as well. At this point, they're more than busy putting the finishing touches on their 11th annual show Nightfall.

Despite all of the chaos and mayhem of 2017, it was a year of fantastic music. From Kendrick Lamar to Khalid to SZA, 2017 graced us with albums that touched our souls and feet, made us dance and cry, and most of all, made us sing.

My fantasy team had a great season. Some of my players had a bit of a shaky start, but I had some pretty good team members—my team even included the MVP. But instead of a championship ring, the MVP got an engagement ring, and instead of a trip to Disneyland, a rose. Yes, I’m talking about The Bachelor.

Ah, yes, art—a seemingly useless artifact of the past that has no place in the modern age of technology. Especially here at Penn, the atmosphere of which is largely dominated by preprofessionalism, who even has the time of day to set down their—whatever tools professional people use—for a paintbrush?

Like many others, my Instagram feed is a conveyer belt of curated selfies and risqué finsta posts—and I love it. Instagram keeps me in touch with my high school friends and helps me remember that tropical vacation they took over winter break. But with Instagram comes FOMO, and I am missing out. I am missing some of the diverse voices I was lucky to be inundated with daily in my arts high school. I mean the queer kids, more specifically.

Come the beginning of each new year, bookstores fill their windows with weight–loss guides and self–help books promoting mindfulness in the spirit of New Year resolutions. Amazing! But while they directly channel the spirit of resolution, there are also plenty of more entertaining options that indirectly accomplish the same thing. So, with the goal of reading more in the New Year, here’s a college–themed (read: time–saving) list of refreshing and invigorating works of literature.

While the Bomb Cyclone may have dampened our enthusiasm for Philly’s winter wonderland, there are a number of exciting arts events around town this winter. This winter offers both old favorites (Les Mis) and new exhibitions (Design in Revolution). Spanning January to March and covering architecture, visual art, and performance, these pieces offer something for every kind of art appreciator at Penn.

As part of a college press roundtable, I joined a Skype call with Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, and Steven Spielberg to discuss their hyper–relevant new journalism drama, The Post. It was by far the best nine–minute interview I've participated in.

The first thing the Penn Glee Club Band will want you to know about them (apart from the fact that they won Street’s Battle of the Bands) is that they’re nothing like the hit TV Show, Glee. Jackson Price (C’18) and a drummer for the band says that whenever he tells people he’s in the Glee club at Penn, he has to explain just exactly what that means; “I tell my friends back home who don’t go here I’m in the Glee Club, but don’t worry, it’s nothing like the show.”

When it came to determining the album of the year, Street Beats were up in arms about everything except for one thing: it wasn't Reputation by Taylor Swift. But that's as far as we got in crowning the best of 2017. Baby steps.

I was FaceTiming my parents a couple of weeks ago, and I have never seen two people more ecstatic in my life. They looked as if they had just been in the presence of a god. Some would say they were. They were on their way back from "Springsteen on Broadway," Bruce Springsteen’s concert residency that began in October and will run until February. Tickets are selling at Hamilton–level, and my parents had to fight, scheme, and work their way to score tickets. “It was worth everything,” they told me. “Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.” I did some investigating, and found out that producers are releasing twenty–six $75 dollar tickets per performance as part of an online lottery. I entered my name a couple of times just for kicks. I won.
