ATRL Moderator kelly-clarkson Posted December 14, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) ? Welcome ? Hey y'all! First of all, thanks for visiting my Best of 2018 Last year I hid the 2017 thread () because I got lazy and I also started with my lists too late. Anyway 2018 in music... I feel... like it wasn't the best year (for my taste in music). With the exception of great albums and songs that were released on 2018, this was the year where I felt the necessity of discover new music, and I think it was because I wasn't satisfied with the music that was released this year But also it could be worse.... There are some great bops and sad songs that were released on 2018 (that's why you need to check my lists ). These are the categories: ? Best Songs of 2018 ? A list of 130 songs that were released this year. I didn't include songs that were released originally on 2017 but were released as a singles this year (with the exception of 2-5 songs that are part from an album released this year). ? Best Albums of 2018 ? A list of 15 albums that were released this year. This was so hard to do... It originally was a Top 10 albums with honorable mentions but I decided to do a Top 15 (the problem is that I couldn't even rank 15 albums that I really love this year). So I was generous with the albums at the bottom of the list ? Artist, Song and Album of the Year ? An artist, a song and an album that had a huge impact on me this year. ? Discoveries of 2018 ? A list of my favorite 42 songs that I discovered this year. ? Re-discovered bops ? Okay, this list is so random but it's basically a list of 26 songs that I already knew but really start to like this year! Edited January 8, 2020 by kelly-clarkson

Prisoner Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 thats such a nice op. how do y'all make these so good
ATRL Moderator kelly-clarkson Posted December 14, 2018 Author ATRL Moderator Posted December 14, 2018 130: David Guetta - Don't Leave Me Alone (feat. Anne-Marie) Cute song! I like to hear it with headphones 129: Meghan Trainor - Can't Dance When this song was released I loved it, but 'Let You Be Right' ended up winning 128: ZAYN - Good Years The song is so new, it needs to grow on me a bit, but at least made my list 127: Charlie Puth - If You Leave Me Now (feat. Boyz II Men) I love the vibe of this song. It sounds like a song from the '90s (which is probably the intention). It's a bit boring sometimes but I like to hear it once in a while and the lyrics are cute! 126: SAARA - Sangria A bop It could have better lyrics tho Still a bop, and I love the instrumental of the song I post the music video since it's probably unknown for most of y'all:

MusicLoverDude Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Don't Leave Me Alone Hope you check my C/D out too!
prézli Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Great layout, but Idg why Christina Grimmie is the biggest one in it. Meghan
Blue Rose Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Not familiar with these. I need to listen to Zayn’s new album
potent Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 Don't Leave Me Alone is very cringeworthy, but it still kinda bops
oceans Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 i haven't listen to charlie's album, is it good?

It's better than his debut (that's for sure).
ATRL Moderator kelly-clarkson Posted December 15, 2018 Author ATRL Moderator Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) 125: Olly Murs - Somebody New I listened to Olly's lastest album 'You Know I Know', and I didn't like it so much (he doesn't bring something new to the table)... But this song is a bop (and the only song I liked from the album)!! The instrumental reminds me of a song from HSM (in a good way ) 124: ZAYN - Natural Another song of ZAYN! Tbh most of the songs I liked from his album are on the bottom of my list (they need to grow on me). Cute bop! 123: TINI - Never Ready I loved her debut album despite of being a bit generic. In her 2nd album she goes more for the latin trend with most of her album in Spanish with a few songs in English. This is one of my favorites songs on her album! 122: LSD - Genius Great song for being their debut single. I never imagined that Sia, Labrinth and Diplo would make bops together 121: Mariah Carey - With You Cute song! Edited December 15, 2018 by kelly-clarkson
lhdang2000 Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 Genius is such a great song. Glad that Let You Be Right ends up as the rightful winner. I love "If You Leave Me Now," it hits me hard that current artists don't sing like that anymore.
Remmy Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 fisdjfidsf not you hiding your 2017 thread #130-126: CAN'T DANCE is cute but yeah, LYBR deservedly won! Haven't listened to Good Years but I'm gonna check out Icarus Falls soon. I've surprisingly been hearing good things but I'm not really excited since half of the pre-release tracks were weak. | #125-121: Same thing for Natural Genius didn't do anything for me, but they got my attention with Thunderclouds.

In my opinion the album is a bit messy but it has great songs
ATRL Moderator kelly-clarkson Posted December 15, 2018 Author ATRL Moderator Posted December 15, 2018 120: Sia - I'm Still Here This is a typical Sia song. It's cute and I love her voice on this song (especially the high notes at the end). Maybe it's a bit repetitive but it's catchy! 119: ZAYN - Satisfaction Another song of ZAYN... But what you expect.. his album has 27 songs... don't judge me As I said with the previous ones, I like this song but it needs to grow on me because it's sooo new ... (don't judge me) 118: Liam Payne, Rita Ora - For You Cute song to start the year! Their voices work well together and the instrumental sounds great 117: Selena Gomez - Back To You I didn't like this song at first, but I've been replaying it the last days and it's a cute bop 116: Mariah Carey - A No No This song it's so Mariah, I love it and it's so funny! These are my favorite lyrics of the song: Quote Parlez-vous français? I said non Lemme translate it, I said no I can say it en español No (No no no no) Portuguese for you não Japanese for you (iie)
prézli Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 ZAYN. I'm not saying anything. Lol. For You is okay. ?
