The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change it's soo good

Never Really Over is a bop (even though it's a bit overrated in this site )

dsfhsdhshfhfds the Lana single cover

The Hurts 2B Human cover looks like 5 different album covers combined in 1

For real

Hmmm maybe  But way too underrated by the GP!

Right  It's such an eyesore...

Both great bops that should've been multiweek #1 smashes!  Well it's not too late for DSN but... let's be realistic

The WHOLE bottom 4??? Because The Sound is possibly Carly's weakest song overall

Maybe you should try the radio edit (if you haven't already)  The 5 minute version is a bit too long for me.

BEST ALBUMS || #03-01

 

 

03. 'My Name Is Michael Holbrook'

Artist: Mika || Released: Oct 4th || Stream: Here

Ranking: 1. Tomorrow • 2. Sanremo • 3. Stay High • 4. Dear Jealousy • 5. Ice Cream

6. Paloma • 7. Tiny Love • 8. Platform Ballerinas • 9. I Went to Hell Last Night

10. Ready to Call This Love • 11. Tiny Love Reprise • 12. Cry • 13. Blue

Thoughts: Ain't most of you hoes white and LGBTQ??? So why you are IGNORING one of them

this hard????? Mika has been around since 2006 and is no stranger to serving quality, but admittedly

his previous release (2015's No Place In Heaven) was his weakest yet. So it was super surprising that

he managed to follow that up with his best. MNIMH truly has a piece of every single album he's

done in here. On top of that, it's a celebration of love, life, music, family and being your true self.

 

 

 

02. 'Heard It In a Past Life'

Artist: Maggie Rogers || Released: Jan 18th || Stream: Here

Ranking: 1. Say It • 2. Light On • 3. Alaska • 4. Overnight • 5. Back In My Body • 6. Burning

7. Give a Little • 8. The Knife • 9. Retrograde • 10. On + Off • 11. Past Life • 12. Fallingwater

Thoughts: GO MAGGIE THAT'S MY MAGGIE Y'ALL!!! This Best New Artist nominee was truly my

favorite new artist of the year. Unfortunately she was blocked on this and Best Singles, but she

served all the way through on here. She has such a great sound and this is one of those records

that you can truly listen to all year round. Pop your ass to Burning in the Winter, cry to Past Life in

the Summer and never take Say It off repeat! Also judging by her new single, this is DEFINITELY

not a one-album-wonder situation.

 

 

 

01. 'Don't Feed the Pop Monster'

Artist: Broods || Released: Feb 1st || Stream: Here

Ranking: 1. Sucker • 2. Peach • 3. Dust • 4. Hospitalized • 5. Everytime You Go

6. Life After • 7. Falling Apart • 8. Everything Goes (Wow) • 9. Why Do You

Believe Me? • 10. Too Proud • 11. To Belong • 12. Old Dog

Thoughts: GEORGIA AND CALEB NOTT, EVERYBODY! GIVE IT UP!!! Wow wow wow, just looking at the

tracklist makes me shiver. I don't know how they snapped this hard... I mean this album isn't without

flaws but they are so minimal and my whole top 8 are 10/10s. This has been my #1 since they blessed

us on Feb 1st and nobody managed to dethrone them - we LOVE rewarding talent & quality here!

02. Maggie Rogers 'Heard It In a Past Life'

01. Broods 'Don't Feed the Pop Monster'

[kelly-clarkson]

I need to check 'Don't Feed the Pop Monster'! I saw it on a lot of lists this year

[potent]

Maggie's appearing on a lot of lists lately, but I'm not really encouraged to listen if Light On is one of the best tracks, it's just okay to me   I did hear Say It and I liked it though, so maybe she'll get my attention in the future.

Dont Feed the Pop Monster is great, Hospitalized is such a bop and I love Everything Goes and Sucker too

 

Whew In Degrees making the top 3  so catchy, I couldn't get it off repeat for most of the summer
