TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 #55. Baby - Clean Bandit ft. Marina & Luis Fonsi Clean Bandit + Camila: Top 10 version of Baby Add Luis into the mix, and it's down 45 spots. Who in Clean Bandit thought Luis is necessary for this song?
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 #54. Call Out My Name - The Weeknd Abel simply did what he has to do with this effort. A dark, mysterious, deep-production track delivered. He didn't step up big time, but he sure maintained his status as a quality creator.
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 #53. Space Cowboy - Kacey Musgraves This isn’t Kacey's highest charting single. Space Cowboy is the ballad of the year for me. I'll save my Kacey writeup for the next Kacey spot(s).
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 #52. Let Me - ZAYN ZAYN may not be ATRL's favorite solo male artist, but Let Me is an objectively good track. He showcased a soulful track on top of a well-produced background. I also see Let Me landing on some Best Of lists, at least some tasteful members see talent.
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 #51. Growing Pains - Alessia Cara Alessia had a huge downgrade success-wise, but man did she up her game quality-wise. Many times in pop history did we see how the GP fails to catch up with quality upgrades, so while I was sad she wasn't well-received with this one, I'm happy she dared to step up her game no matter what the result will be.

It's still good, but I don't even care about the album... Yes the song is god-tier. The album was dragging for me. So I play the song pretty much all the time.

Pink Matter Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 52. Let Me - ZAYN 54. Call Out My Name - The Weeknd 58. I Like It - Cardi B feat. Bad Bunny & J Balvin 62. Honey - Robyn 64. Mariners Apartment Complex - Lana del Rey My faves from the previous set. I enjoy all of these to varying degrees. They all slay though
Tom Vercetti Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Quote 53. Space Cowboy - Kacey Musgraves 54. Call Out My Name - The Weeknd I like these two the most of the set. Hoping Abel's next lead single is more on the upbeat side.
Kevin2803 Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Growing Pains Sober, 2002 & I Like It I kinda like Beautiful, but i barely listened to it for some reason.

ATRL Moderator kelly-clarkson Posted December 30, 2018 ATRL Moderator Posted December 30, 2018 Call Out My Name is my favorite song of The Weeknd! 2002 is a bop Sober is one of my favorite songs released this year
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #50. Woman Like Me - Little Mix ft. Nicki Minaj At first listen, I was like, "no ma'am, this ain't it." The Nicki verse made it 2 notches better. But what made it gallop into my Top 50 of 2018 is it's godly MV. If I ever would decide to make my Top MVs of the year, this would surely make it to Top 10-ish. The MV was effective in its role. It lifted the song and made me love it to heights I can't even imagine I'd reach without it. First, Perrie was so f*cking gorgeous, the other 3 were amazing as well. I'm taking a guess and will say that they are influenced by KPop MVs, straightforward and in-your-face aesthetics. Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #49. Everytime - Ariana Grande First Sweetener B-side making it to the list. Let me just say this deserves a single treatment after Breathin. I'll save my thoughts on this for the next Sweetener tracks. Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #48. The Middle - Zedd ft. Maren Morris and Grey EDM this year wasn't as good as its peaks in the early 2010's, and The Middle is admittedly a generic EDM bop. It's hard to admit that I liked this song that I've heard multiple times already. But, it started the resurgence of Pop in 2018, and I gotta thank it for that. Hence I felt the need to include this here, but not too high. Plus, it's simply a bop, don't @ me. Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #47. Stop Me From Falling - Kylie Minogue The first Kylie track out of many! I can't express how much Golden has impressed me, and I'm even a new fan of her. I'll save my thoughts on this for the next ones. Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #46. Dancing's Not A Crime - Panic! At The Disco Okay, Panic! Is taking spots left and right in this chart. It deserves it tho given how much I'm blown away by the album. I have more thoughts, but I'll save it for the next track too. Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #45. Don't Blame Me - Taylor Swift #JusticeForDontBlameMe Taylor scores a second re-entry. I recall this being like 60-ish in 2017's list. Since then, I've been playing this like hell and became one of my defining songs of the year. #JusticeForDontBlame As much as I love Delicate, I believe that if she wanted to push through with the positive image and avoiding IDSB for its repercussions, Don't Blame Me is the best next move. A gorgeous MV would propel this to a well-rounded single. Her performances of DBM of RepTours was amiazing, and her vocals are serving. Again, #JusticeForDBM Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #44. Love Wins - Carrie Underwood The title in itself was a win already. Then she served an outstanding track. Kinda stumbled with an MV that, for sure, would have been better. But overall, it's still an amazing song. Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #43. Anna Wintour - Azealia Banks First time listening to Azealia. I'm glad I get to know her music. So far, this is my most favorite 2018 track from here. If you could recommend any better Azealia song, just hit me up. Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #42. Shelby 68 - Kylie Minogue Okay, second Kylie track in a set. This time my fave B-side off of Golden. I can't believe she did Taylor Swift better than Taylor Swift in this one. I'm sold. : Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
TayRianaPH Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) #41. Done For Me - Charlie Puth ft. Kehlani The best single on Voicenotes. Kehlani lifted the track 10x better. The video was okay. But the hook sealed the deal for me. I believe I sang to it 50% of the year. Edited December 30, 2018 by TayRianaPH
