"Impossible Year" by Panic! At The Disco

Led by Brendon Urie, Panic! At The Disco formed in Las Vegas and helped shape the rock sound of the naughts. Their one and only top 10 hit arrived in 2006 when "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" peaked at #7. The band has managed to hit the top 40 only once more to date, when "Hallelujah," which samples the Chicago hit "Questions 67 And 68," reached #40 in 2015.

The band has undergone dramatic lineup changes over the years, which may in part explain the evolution and diversity of their sound over the past decade. The one constant has been Urie, whose vocals often get buried in the bombast. However, he really gets to show off his vocal chops on "Impossible Year," an atypical lounge song that closes the band's 2016 record, "Death Of A Bachelor." His attention-grabbing vocal will raise the hairs on your arms.
