2016 is going to go down as one of the worst years ever, according to most of your friends in your newsfeed. But, it wasn’t all bad. 2016 brought us a lot of amazing music, tours, and of course merch. What goes better with your favorite music than clothing that was created by your favorite artists? It seems like one of the best things about 2016 was the merch that went along with some of the most amazing tours and albums we have heard this year.
Before there were just long lines at concerts just to get inside, but now fans are lining up to get inside for a chance to buy exclusives created by their favorite artists in honor of their favorite albums or to celebrate the artists themselves. The merch game has become bigger and better in 2016. Take a look with us as we make a list of our favorites that blessed that merch game in 2016.
