DTLR Radio Top 40 Spins of 2021
Written by Jay Holz on January 1, 2022
Happy New Year, DTLR family! We made it to 2022 and we can’t wait to see what this year brings. Before we fully dive in to the next 12 months, we wanted to take one final look back at 2021. It was an amazing year for music, specifically hip-hop, as we got a ton of big records, albums, moments and everything in between.
Here at DTLR Radio, we strive to give our listeners the hottest new music, while shining light on the underground as well. We pay homage to the veterans with several throwback jams and we make sure to cover the full spectrum for our listeners.
That said, like anything else, there were those who dominated our airwaves throughout 2021 the most. We’ve compiled our Top 40 Spins list of the year and while some names are expected, there’s certainly a few surprise hits in the mix.
Check it out below and tell us who surprised you and who you’d like to hear more from.
