Um... Butterfly is far too low :mandown: I thought you stanned Don't Start Now harder as well, I expected them in the top 5 :fan:

For some reason both didn't click with me initially but I love them now :-* gone (V) and Adore You were cute but I don't stan :keir:

I agree with the Gone (Charli) comments, although Gone aged for me a bit and I always hated Christine's pronunciation :thing:

You are kinda correct, it deserved top 5, but so did all the songs I put in the top 5 :mandown: At this point positions don't really matter :alexz3:

DSN is an amazing bop and a great lead choice, but it's far from being my favorite song of Dua's catalogue. Butterfly was pretty instant for me though, the video adds a lot to it too :alexz: 

I'm glad it didn't age for me, cause it would feel bad to completely drop her off the list when she finally managed to release the album after all this time :mandown:

Don't Start Now :clap3:

nnnn not you shading TL and GH like that :rip: Tough Love >>> :alexz: I love all 3 drop-lets right now, I feel like album going to be excellent 

OH TH shade wasn't really intentional! It's a great album and I actually love a lot of Glasshouse too, but Devotion remains her peak and I'm glad she is closer to it more than ever :clap3:

Still don't understand your love for Gone (by VÉRITÉ), it's a cute track but When You're Gone is literally leagues better :mandown: Cute choices overall but Gone (by Charli) doesn't deserve Top 10. 

Maybe one day you will, Verite just grew as an artist and I'm glad I love her new sound :fan:

Taste :clap3: It's getting universal acclaim and we love to see it

I really expected DSN to be in your top3. :noparty: Cute update tho!

Well check my top 5 now :gaycat1:

Butterfly is a grower, not what I was expecting at all but I came to really like it.  That falsetto/whistle on the chorus :jonny: 

Right, the chorus + drop are just a MOMENT :jonny:

I might have to get into Vérité if she ended up in your top 10... DSN, Butterfly :mandown: and Gone are such amazing songs. Perched for the 5 remaining positions! :duca:

Oop you have to and now I know you did so :clap3:

Can't wait for your top 5

Thank you! It's down below now :fan:

don't start now, gone, adore you :clap3:

the charli shade though gurl 

Glad to see more Adore You love :katie2:

And sorry I had to, the good sis needs to step it up :katie2: 

 

18 hours ago, Remmy said:

Yep, gone is really great & the album is weak! Wish I appreciated the song more when it came out, I only really started noticing it when new skin dropped. Don't Start Now and Gone are jams :katie2: And we have the same top 2 from Charli  (album):gaycat3:

It is weaker than the debut, but I do not consider it weak overall, it just needs more time to be appreciated and it's definitely too short!

Taste :gaycat5:

yess really don't like you at #12 :D

Both incredible pop songs :D

 

15 hours ago, potent said:

Don't Start Now is a bop :jamming:

Adore You is great too, I really wish I had paid more attention when it was released.

It was such a non event and the fact none of the songs this era get any videos is a bit disappointing, but obviously justified by her pregnancy!

dont start now and gone are perfect bops! 

Absolute tea, love to see them on your list :fan:

DSN top 10 we love to see it

I can't wait for the album but you already knew this :jonny:

It's incredible :jonny:

Don't Start Now it's sooo good :jonny4:

I hope there are more bops like this on Dua's next album :giraffe:

There ARE! :jonny5:

#5 FKA twigs - mary magdalene

Objectively cellophane does deserve this place more indeed, but I'm such a sucker for title tracks and this one elevated MAGDALENE for me to the highest level.

 #4 Caroline Polachek - Door

Literally a cult classic already, masterpiece, I'm so looking forward to what Caroline has to offer next, cause though it won't be easy to top PANG I know she is definitely capable of even greater things.

 #3 Caroline Polachek - Ocean of Tears

Same comment as to Door, I cannot choose which one is better, they are equally perfect and though I didn't want to flood this list with Caroline, half of the album could easily be there. The videos are also incredible.

#2 Carly Rae Jepsen - No Drug Like Me

This was my #1 for most of 2019, but at this point pretty much every song in top 5 is the one. Pop perfection, couldn't be more impressed that Carly managed to serve something on RAWN's level again.

 

and now for the #1 song of 2019...

Spoiler

SONG OF THE YEAR

 

KnKEijB.jpg

 

DUA LIPA - FUTURE NOSTALGIA

There is so much you could say about this track and it's so easily Dua's best song yet. I find it incredible how we are only in her 2nd era and she is already serving such classic.  As someone who had a chance to hear the record I can say that the song is literally about the album itself. It embodies both the sound of the entire record, taking what's best of it and blending it together, but also the attitude she is serving throughout. I adore how the track is built on a repeated (yet not so in your face) sample of low, heavily vocodered voice saying Future Nostalgia which gave me an insatnt thought of Daft Punk though the song itself isn't really dominated with melodic 80s synths. Instead they are rather toned down, the verses are a bit aggresive, grunge in production yet full of attitude with her vocals/lyrics, but then the chorus is literally striking with that glass shattering sound (which is much more noticable in the lyrics video version), lots of melodic layers of vocals and rich instrumentation. I feel like this song is slightly what Ariana wishes she achieved with The Light is Coming or Justin Timberlake attempted to do with Filthy, but Future Nostalgia is far more interesting and well thought out than both of them.

 

Stream it and prepare yourself for Dua's upcoming masterpiece album:

Wow, i didn't expect that Future Nostalgia will be #1 on someone's best of 2019 :clap3:

Posted

Oh wow the taste!

I don't know how you couldn't place Cellophane higher but Mary Magdalene is also amazing.

Ocean of Tears is actually one of my least favourites on Pang (though of course all the songs are amazing), but Door is great.

Same goes for No Drug Like Me, I love it but there's just so many stronger tracks on Dedicated for me personally.

 

Future Nostalgia is a well deserved #1 :clap3:

Posted

Door :jonny5:

Ocean of Tears :clap3:

No Drug Like Me :jonny5::jonny5:

Future Nostalgia is so good too but I'm counting December releases as 2020 now :keir:

Posted

A perfect top 5 :clap3:

Posted

Future Nostalgia made it only because I've heard it already a few months ago, but there are some of the tracks that would have probably made a list but they got released/I got into them too late in the year like these 2:

YAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS :party:

Posted

Future Nostalgia isn't necessarily my favorite from Dua but I love it :jonny2: grew on me very quickly too :jamming:

No Drug Like Me was my fave from Dedicated :clap3: mary magdalene is great too but it's not in my trinity :fan:

Nice picks for Caroline :-* Door was my fave on the album and I love Ocean of Tears too :heart2:

Posted

Ocean of Tears :date: Door + No Drug Like Me yesss, my favorites from their albums :worship:  We love talent and quality yup yup!

Kiii definitely wasn't expecting that #1, but I'm not complaining whatsoever. :sats: FN is great and would've likely ended up in my top 40 singles if it was one + came out a bit earlier.

Posted

this excellent top 5 OH MY!!!

FN is amazing (and you're comments are hyping me SO much)

literally couldn't be prouder of Dua :clap3: the grammy was so deserved back then too, but now it just feels even more right :clap3: 

 

Ocean of Tears doesn't get the love it deserves, not that it's necessarily hated, but this song deserves to be everyone's top pick :fan: 

don't care bout carly

Posted

Door and Ocean of Tears :clap3: nice to see Caroline slaying back to back :alexz: 
Mary Magdalene is such an experience :jonny: 

No Drug Like Me is cute jam RWLeZU2.gif

Future Nostalgia is great, but I'm still warming to it :fan: 

Posted

I forgot about Noir, what a bop :jonny: NRO, NFR, cellophane, Don't Start Now, Gone, NDLM, TWO Caroline songs in the top 10 :jonny5: WHEW!

Two Grimes songs back to back KSGQT9N.gif

Adore You was SO good, but the good sis needs to hurry tf up with the album :weeps:

Future Nostalgia deserved, what a fantastic song :jonny5: If it came out earlier I would have definitely put it fairly high on my list as well :jonny: There's always 2020, I guess (unless there are somehow even better tracks on the album) :cm:

 

On 12/15/2019 at 12:46 AM, BlackoutZone said:

It's kinda whatever I guess, but I stan it and it's not like there is a lot to appreciate on Lover :mandown:

They didn't so hopefully you see the light once the full project drops :katie2: 

I've missed her live, but HELLO Fka's OPENER announcement is comperable to world peace so I don't really care about anything else now :weeps:

I'm still PRESSED, I didn't wanna go next year, but after the last announcement (also including Kendrick who'd played two of the best concerts I've been to and Big Thief for whom I've been waiting to come here for YEARS) I kinda have no choice

future nostalgia already #1 :deadbanana4: ok sis

door >>>> ocean of tears

mary magdalene :worship2:

Dua #1 :jonny:talent

Posted

A song coming out so recently as the #1 is interesting :gaycat3: I actually haven't heard it yet but I'll give it a listen right now, my expectations are high since DSN was great.

Listening to FKA's album is on my to do list!

Butterfly is stunning :jonny5: deserves better

Gone is great too, I really love the glitched outro. Gross You Out is shite too :mandown:

DSN now is cute but it has yet to grow on me. I prefer Future Nostalgia as of now

It really is, I'm so excited for LOONA's comeback but at the same time I'm afraid they won't top it :jonny5:

Cross You Out is excellent I-, the crackhead energy snapped :mandown: 

And you prefer well :clap3:

People switching on Grimes this era I noticed, sad huh :mandown: 

I've heard some album samples from Jessie a few days ago so they are definitely putting the finishing touches to it, I'm so excited :weeps: 

Loving to see FN praise, Dua stepped it up quickly huh :clap3: 

 

I knew I'm going the moment Taylor was announced, but Kendrick and FKA sealed it and there is still more to come :jonny:It will be insane, poor OWF getting the racist headliner :mandown:

I know that in a long run it will remain on its place :fan: It wasn't instant, but once I really felt it I knew it's THE ONE1

FKA's album is full of raw emotion, it's short but the emotional journey itself feels long, hope you connect to it!

 

 

Thank y'all so so much for participating in my first ever Best Of, hopefully it wasn't so boring and some of you discovered a couple of gems among my picks! See you next year (I hope) :fan: 

Posted

This is a phenomenal top 5 for songs. mary magdalene, personally in my top 2 of that album. Feminism won!

 

Perfect picks for Caroline as well, personally I think Door is a tiny bit above OoT (ooh same abbreviation as Ocarina of Time lmao), but including both is a great choice. No Drug Like Me IMO deserved that top spot! But it's like one of her best songs ever so the fact that she's even top 2, not surprising.

 

Ooh, love that pick for #1, though you did get a bit of a head-start with the track so it makes sense :eli: Really looking forward to the new record esp after reading your comments!

Glad to see title track stanning :clap3: It's such a centerpiece of the album

It's so funny you mention Ocarina of Time, cause the album overall feels inspired by classic games for me! The cover obviously screams Lara Croft, but I also noticed that Hey Big Eyes sounds like some Ocarina of Time soundtrack :omg:

hold awn let me catching up


Julien an opener. You stated nothing but facts on Don't Worry Bout Me. Noir Kpop soty.
Downhill Lullaby... I don't like her. why? cause I think she's a lie.
Kill V. Maim sweetie, The Greatest sweetie (but here for the title track pick!)
Don't Start Now, Adore You, Gone 9ux70nK.png Charli is messy but has its jams
Cellophane snubbed from top 10 but... I'm seeing Ms. Magdalene at #5 and 8ikwNxb.gif well deserved!

Door masterpiece :heart2: ocean of tears great gowns...

NDLM finally getting recognized as the best song on Dedicated dRY7ADm.gif

Surprising number one! I was pleasantly surprised by her serves. always knew she was the best new pop girl since 2015 and has this in her. Her debut will be the 2020's E•mo•tion I planted the seed and we'll see the harvest.

Great list!
