Finesse ?

 

Idk how to feel about Pynk. :michael: 

I mean Pynk isn't amazing which is why it isn't higher on here but I enjoy it enough :michael:

Overtime :clap3: definitely better than her glasshouse material for me
deep end is ****
finesse remix is so good :yas~1: cardi's verse really took the song from a 5 to a 9
dj koze, amber :clap3:

cardi is so charismatic she can really do wonders to a song. her mind

Same nn

 

Love Me Right is everyone's fave from her but there's one song I prefer. :-* 

 

You lied about Midnight being better but yes Overtime is a bop.

 

I should probably listen to Rico Nasty at some point.

 

the only acceptable answer is the Conexao title track but I bet it's All the Work :-*

I hope this means another Rico song will make an appearance somewhere higher on the list :)

 

Lykke's delivery on deep end comes across as very tryhard to me but somehow it works? like I despised the song and specifically the chorus initially but now I love it, maybe she was ahead of her time.

 

Finesse (Remix) deserved to go #1 but it feels bigger than most #1s this year so it won at the end of the day (and most importantly it went #1 here, the only place where charts matter)

 

Rank & File deserved better, Seeing Aliens a highlight, Love Me Right a cute girl, etc.

 

I thought Rico's only other singles this year were the questionable non-album singles :foot:

The Distance, Roll, Just a Stranger, Pick Up (although Seeing alien.png being higher than Pick Up is just...wrong)

unknown.png

 

That 1-2-3-4-5-6 punch with #90-85 though :soda: Love Pynk as well, glad we agree that's her best song released ths year 478177320356675594.png?v=1

pick up and seeing alien.png are both excellent we don't pit quality songs against each other here

Focus ? (Too low tho)

charli had another entry that had to be higher so :mandown:

Some gr8 updates.

why the hell do you think there are 72 songs better than Quiz, though? :biblio: :biblio: 

because there are :mandown:  (tbh there are more but i limited it to two singles per artist :mandown:)

Animal and Finesse Remix :clap3:

 

 I should check more of Maggie Rogers, I only heard Give a Little this year which was good despite sounding very HAIM-copycat.

Fallingwater is my favourite song of hers so you should definitely give it a listen

I like the Cardi songs.

your mind :clap3:

Finesse :party:

:katie2: 

 

On 12/16/2018 at 8:33 PM, Vilppu said:

rank & file a bit low hmm

 

quiz and teenage fantasy slay. animal is fine too but i think it only works as a closer and not so much as a standalone track

it gets a lot of its credit from me for its bridge because whew :jonny: 

 

On 12/16/2018 at 8:38 PM, mokitsu said:

I DON'T EVEN SMOKE WEED! IT GIVES ME ANXIETY!

On 12/16/2018 at 9:33 PM, Eeveelution said:

Focus at 78 and being better than no angel? We all make choices, but that was a choice.

 

Animal is cute but he tried a bit too hard to be Frank there.

 

When I heard that Empress Of song's chorus I was like girl are you serious, but it's a bop I guess.

 

Quiz and Teenage Fantasy are both great choices!

the correct choice! :eli: 

 

On 12/16/2018 at 10:54 PM, prézli said:

Does Kimbra still make music? The last time when I heard about her is... you know.

 

giphy.gif

she does and she released a quality album this year!

this is one of my favourite sets that i’ve seen so far, although it has one song which should undoubtedly be a LOT higher :mandown:

hmmmm Unmade? :mandown: 

 

On 12/16/2018 at 10:55 PM, wabayou said:

Not me only knowing Travis. Sicko Mode is cute. 

 

wait nvm the Rosalia song is cute too

Rosalia kind of snapped huh

Great update! Far too many songs to choose from between 90-61 but there are a lot that I enjoyed from this set. Keep em coming king  :clap3:

On 12/17/2018 at 3:51 AM, TRF. said:

CupcakKe, Charli, Lykke, Jessie, Earl, Kimbra, KKB, U.S. Girls :heart2:

 

ROSALÍA!!! (even though she isn't higher)

 

ecjNkZ4.gif

i just haven't listened to EMQ enough to put any of its songs higher but Malamente is great

 

 

On 12/17/2018 at 7:53 AM, theblackestday said:

Make Believe beautiful but I expect the superior KKB single to make an appearance later in the list :mandown:


Unmade, Sugar & Spice, Pearly Gates, Desert Horse

Snatchie, US Girls, Melody's Echo Chamber :clap3: 

 

I tried to get into that Natalie Prass album but :rip: 

:emofish:

I should probably listen to that new US Girls but their last album wasn't it.

 

I have Melody on the list but yeah, the Natalie album was a disappointment for me.

Half Free? not it? dontbefuckingrude.gif

Troye's "Animal" is cute and I loooovvveee Charli's "Focus". Actually I kinda forgot about Charli on my year end list aside from 1999. She released a few wee bops. :clap3: 

1999 is probably my least favourite Charli single this year :eek: but yeah she always delivers some great songs

the drake section in sicko mode is so boring and useless, it would be kinda perfect without it... #66 seems decent for it

 

desert house indeed the best of the set, should probs be a bit higher ^-^

Cross My Heart is probably my favourite single of the bunch but I wasn't sure if it was 2017 or 2018 so i just went with the other two instead :rip:

Kimbra, Rosalia, Meg, Kero Kero Bonito :clap3:

somehow Kimbra keeps winning. i can stand it

agree for sicko

Great sets, beautiful sets :clap3:

Don't wanna get into yet another Charli discussion because we've gone through our rankings so many times already so let me just say I'm glad Focus isn't higher :fan: Hoping for another Charli entry :eli:

I still wish Us was just as strong as IDESW :jonny: Imagine the slayage

Quiz, Make Believe, MALAMENTE, SICKO MODE, Sugar & Spice and Pearly Gates :alexz:

Call Out My Name doesn't revolutionise The Weeknd's winning hurt-midtempo-R&B formula but why change something that works so effectively

Cause it's boring now and at this stage of his life it's not even believable. Like that GQ interview made it clear this isn't HoB Abel anymore and his subject matter should start to diversify now.

 

Great set tho, wow the Charcoal Baby acclaim.

Oh wow, this update :omg~1:. Dua Lipa really snapped with Electricity and One Kiss, honestly I like them more than her album arn7Z8c.gif

Yves Tumor revived trip hop:alexz:Snooze Mail made some points with Heat Wave, it might be her only song to not put me to sleep. On The Low was a low-key pop song, I liked it. Blood Orange is a liar for making us believe that his album would be like that :fish2:. Charli released great singles this year, 5ITM was cute. Surprised at Mitski, I thought it would be much higher on your list :omg~1:

Bey and her uglee husband snapped on this Migos reject I said what I said.

Where is the lie?

I was gonna say I'm glad you recognize .t lickinganorchid.m4a as an album highlight considering you have other faves from SITHOL, but I forgot this is a singles list :rip: Either way, I'll take it 477959069102112769.png?v=1

The first sentence of the Heat Wave write up being a disclaimer :dies: Ngl, though it'd land higher

Nice for What (totally forgot about it while doing my list :jonny:), 5ITM, Charcoal Baby, Nodoby and APESHIT :alexz:

Posted

70-61: All good songs except for Desert Horse which is unlistenable garbaj x

 

Hope this isn't the last we see of Hatchie and KKB though, they have (much) better songs. :mandown: 

 

60-51 mitski queen of loneliness

This is Charli's best single this year.

that's funny, tell another one.

 

Not pristine, the SSMS jumped out...

Who knew Charli could serve quality pop-trap?

I did!

 

Great set :heart2: Pristine, On the Low and Apeshit are all great tracks ❤️ 

 

Nobody and Licking an Orchid are classics imo

5 in the Morning is a cute girl, but Focus and Girls Night Out are cuter.

 

Also, APESHIT over 5 in the Morning? In what universe?

 

Wicked

Posted

Electricity... choices

 

Licking an Orchid and Nobody being so low and below Apeshite and Smelly Snail... further choices (yes, I know No*d and G*yser will be higher my point still stands)

This is Charli's best single this year.

These are all good but some are interesting choices for the artist (licking an orchid, 5itm) and some are surprisingly low (nobody, nice for what)

NFW is my favorite Drake release this year :clap3: 

OTL :jonny: so nice to see Tove on someone's list

Nobody :smitten:

lickinganorchid.m4a, on the low, 5itm, Nobody, APESHIT :jonny5:

Electricity and Nobody :clap3:

Also whew, STAN for KKB :alexz3: they are so overlooked on here

I like Malamente but it kinda feels subpar in comparison with other singles

Posted

Nobody snatching :clap3:

Posted

licking an orchid kind of criminally low

 

honestly until like... yesterday i thought nobody was super overrated and couldn't understand the appeal but it finally clicked. some other good songs that maybe made my list too love them x
