2016 was a collectively bad year, but a lot of people would say that 2017 might've been worse. And then came 2018 ... well, at least it's almost over. With mere days to go until we get to say goodbye to this year, last year's epiphany from a few savvy Twitter users still rings true. Toward the end of 2017, they discovered the best way to ring in the New Year -- through classic crowd pleasers played at exactly the right time.Songs like "Africa" by Toto or "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus have quite notable music breaks or choruses, and some calculated the exact moment (down to the second!) that you need to start these songs for them to play as the ball drops. So, if their calculations are correct, one of the things you can engineer to play at midnight is the epic drum solo from "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins, as illustrated by this adorable puppy.If Phil Collins isn't your style, there's a whole host of other song choices, from Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" to Katy Perry's "Firework," or even John Denver's "Country Roads."Also, for all you cynics out there that think 2019 is going to be just as bad or (gulp) worse than 2018, there's some stuff you might find more appropriate. One user figured out the time stamp for when you should start Simon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" so the first thing you hear in 2019 is "Hello darkness, my old friend."Check out a few choice midnight options below, and start your 2019 off with the perfect song to accompany your mood.
