Kiss It Better Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 75. The Carters - APESH*T this song goes off every time... deserves more success 74. Childish Gambino - Summertime Magic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diLp6hUqvVk still waiting on the video that rumored starring Rihanna and Letitia Wright do luh me do luh me do 73. The Internet - Mood as the famous caption "mood." indeed, relatable lyrics and great production also Syd's soft vocals 72. The Carters - Heard About Us underrated gem from Everything is Love 71. Jessie J - Someone's Lady the Chinese talent show winner deserves more love and success with this 4 sides album that she put out back in May, yes she went viral with the IWALY cover but this song, Real Deal and another song that will appear on this list later on are masterpiece and she deserves better
Mark Rih Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 yes Focus, yes a bop Summertime Magic I prefer FLS, both were perfect for summer season tho
TheWayWeWere Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 not Focus remix I hope original appears too :eli: wait @ Summertime Magic vid tea Jessie J's ROSE was actually pretty good
potent Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Apeshit is a great bop Karma is okay too, just not quite good enough for my list.
Remmy Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 APES**T + HEARD ABOUT US 2 cute tracks from the disappointing EIL. Focus Not the strongest song with that title this year, but a bop for sure!
ATRL Moderator Tsareena Posted December 25, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 25, 2018 haven’t heard the focus remix but game and shallow water Apeshit and Heard about us are pretty cute as well
Kevin2803 Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 I wasn't a big fan of R.O.S.E., but Jessie is so talented and underrated
Pink Matter Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Mood, Apeshit, Heard About Us, game, and Summertime Magic Come through with the jams

Kiss It Better Posted December 26, 2018 Author Posted December 26, 2018 this year, as usual i have discovered some albums or EPs from previous years that i just started to get into this year, including some leaks here are my favorites (in random order): 1. Thundercat - Drunk (Album) Thanks to Ariana's cover of Them Changes, which was great, I started to find out about the original artist of the song and found out that it's Thundercat who I have heard about before from Kendrick's To Pimp A Butterfly. I listened to this album titled Drunk which has 23 tracks, it's really a great and solid album. But the two songs from the album that standouts and very relatable at the time and I still play to this day are Friend Zone and Them Changes. 2. Syd - Always Never Home (EP) It's an EP released in September last year and I didn't know she released an EP after her debut solo album "Fin" in the same year. I found out about this right in the beginning of the year. It's a 3 track EP, very solid and my favorite is Bad Dream/No Looking Back. I do think this EP is better than her album. 3. Doja Cat - Purr (EP) Thanks to the viral song "Mooo!" which failed to actually chart (because of her d*** a** for the f word tweets ) I liked it and started to get into her music and wow this EP is awesome. Kinda mixtape Tinashe-ish meets mixtape SZA-ish but different. It's very cohesive and I think it's better than her debut album Amala. My favorites from this EP are Nunchucks, So High and No Police. 4. Sade - I Couldn't Love You More (Song) I only have listened to Sade's greatest hits album before, and this song wasn't on it. But one day, it was on Jorja Smith's instagram story (if i'm not wrong) she played this song and I went to shazam the song and found this and immediately listened to it on Spotify and wow she snapped. 5. Mac Miller RIP. The day he died was coincidentally the worst day ever. I already planned to get into his discography since Swimming came out in August and I have listened to The Divine Feminine back in 2016 but since I didn't have time so I delayed it and then he died so I started to listen to one of the songs from Live From Space called "In The Morning" which features The Internet and Thundercat and it's soooo good. Later on, I started to give each one of his albums a listen and the 2 songs that standout for me so far are In The Morning and Weekend (ft. Miguel). 6. Tinashe - Joyride Leftovers After the album was officially released, the album's leftovers are starting to leak and some of them are better than the songs that made it on the album. My trinity are: Eat You Up, Prisoner, Just Like You 7. SZA - Ctrl Leftovers Same with Tinashe's, some of SZA's leftovers are also leaking back in September, which mysteriously appeared on Spotify last Friday (but I think it's taken down now). My favorites are Passport and Inside Man. 8. Janelle Monae Back in 2014, one of my Twitter mutual have recommended me to listen to The ArchAndroid but I only get into one song and couldn't listen to it but this year, after Make Me Feel and Django Jane was released I only liked Make Me Feel and I thought Django Jane was too loud. When the album came out, I didn't like it that much though I already feel it's a great album. It took me until September to get into it again and wow. So I get into her other albums, The ArchAndroid and The Electric Lady and both got bops. Tightrope, Dorothy Dandrige Eyes, Say You'll Go, Locked Inside, Look Into My Eyes, PrimeTime, etc The transition between each songs catch you later in the Top 30 Albums list with more tea 9. XXXTentacion last but not least, I listened to "?" when it was just released and only SAD! that I liked but after he died, I listened to it again and idk why it suddenly sounds good then I also listened to his previous album/EPs and Jocelyn Flores (!!!) is so damn good I kept repeating it, it's less than 2 minutes long so it doesn't get annoying to listen on repeat. Most of his music is suicidal rap with rock-ish beats in most songs, which suitable when I was feeling some way.
-mUsIcLoVeR- Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 YASS JANELLE! The ArchAndroid is such a work of art, especially the first half. The sequencing, wooo!
TheWayWeWere Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Janelle Sade getting recognition her discography is so perfect still hate SZA for not releasing CTRL deluxe welp, I hope at least her song with Mark and Tame Impala still coming..
