Music's biggest pop stars -- Taylor Swift, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry--have been taking huge amounts of time crafting new albums, fighting against the tide of copycats and determining which sonic trends are simply fads or the next big thing. Drake doesn't have that problem. His new albums are almost an annual affair, each release breaking streaming records and amassing hordes of fans.

On the bright side, 2016 happened to be one of the greatest years in recent memory for music.

Song sampling is at the heart of hip hop. In the early days of the genre, when it was still largely live music that hadn't yet found recording success, DJs would scour funk, R&B and soul records for interesting instrumental breaks in the music. Once they found a catchy one, they would stretch it out and create their own rhythm from it. The best grooves got the most enthusiastic response from the audience.

In 2012, the CW -- the low-budget and lesser-known sister network of CBS -- launched the first season of "Arrow," an adaptation of the DC superhero Green Arrow.

"Blonde," Frank Ocean's triumphant sophomore studio album, is the soundtrack for fall, when the weather is pleasantly cooler than the blistering summers and the leaves change color. It's a beautiful period where it's almost impossible not to walk outside in a good mood. Ocean's sound is similarly pleasing, a gorgeous mix of acoustic pop and avant-garde soul with glimmers of electronic R&B.
