In an extremely online era, this was a particularly online year. The whole pandemic thing forced us to do most, if not all, of our socializing through our screens. We Zoomed, we FaceTimed, we Slacked, and we tweeted. For better or for worse, musicians tweeted a lot. And for better or for worse, we ranked those tweets.
Below are the best, the worst, and the most memorable music tweets of the year, defined here as tweets by musicians, the tweets that will reverberate through the annals of Twitter history for generations to come. OK, not really. But still, they're pretty funny tweets. And in this economy and this political climate, what more can you really ask for?
