best of REM-EMBERING 2019 ⭐ Finished!

[kelly-clarkson]

Head Above Water is a great album... If we pretend Dumb Blonde is not on the album

Also yes at MUNA. I also discovered them this year!

[Tsareena]

didn't care much for singular act ii 
turn off the light was pretty good. junk was cute but couldn't listen much
sanctuary  

everyday, waves talent, good as hell
talented discoveries aces, super love, chelsea jade

[potent]

Everything I Wanted, Imagination, Good as Hell, Wars, Someone New, Sunseeker, Swan Song, ATGGGTH

I wish a couple of them had made the actual countdown though, mainly Good as Hell and Sunseeker (although it's new so I guess it could make it next year).

[Ewan Chaos]

Ordinary Pleasure is easily my top pick from this newest single update. OMG is also a total bop... BUT not as great as her song with The Knocks from 2016. So weird still to think of Good As Hell as a single from this year  

[Mr. Loco]

Sing street songs are really great, giving that 80s vibe, and the movie is also beautiful!

Of course

I guess I'll keep myself guessing until I consider rewatching it in 2028 

 

Hmm hmm hmm can't agree  Plus I appreciate that we finally have someone releasing Halloween projects

Yeah I'm really annoyed  Especially since we have no information on when the next tracklist update is...

I wonder if you're gonna enjoy my HMs & On Deck section more than the actual list

149. Billie Eilish "everything i wanted"
146. Ashley Tisdale "Love Me & Let Me Go"
145. Foster the People "Imagination"
143. James Bay ft. Julia Michaels "Peer Pressure"
141. Halsey "Graveyard"
134. Of Monsters & Men "Wars"
133. Lizzo "Good as Hell"
130. The Naked & Famous "Sunseeker"

never probably  we all can remember how Demi keeps 'updating' TMYLM  

EIW is a jam

Boyfriend could've been higher  

and Graveyard too   

 

[Legend E]

Again no big losses when it comes to singles

 

Glad you discovered MUNA

ugh the hatchie slayage even if i don't know the #2 song  

weyes should've made top 100 but other than that i'm fine

[K$Ellie]

Singularity II disappointed me, In My Bed is cute tho  TOTL is flawless  but sis check out the Fancy You EP x

everything i wanted kinda flopping  Graveyard bombing  Everyday deserved top 100 but at least it made the list

I like Someone New, atgggth, Boyfriend, Exhale, Waves and Swan Song but not enough to feel bad about them flopping

yaaass Talia is so good, the only song from her that I use I only discovered it bc of ATRL's Song Contest

Haven't listened to The Naked and Famous in years but I stanned Young Blood and Hearts Like Ours back in the day

Party's Over >>> Astrid S  I still gotta listen to the MUNA album, their sophomore was nice but not enough to make me stan

[Green]

 "Good as Hell"   I wish it was higher though

but Motivation is better, so I hope it'll appear.

 

Also, I forgot to post it before, but ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? HOW CAN NATASHA BEDINGFIELD BE ON THE LIST??? Her album is one of the worst things that happened this year. This is tasteless.

Yes, for sure

 

Don't worry she's not on any main lists. She was in my bottom 5 for Best Albums and had 2 honorable mentions for Best Singles (which was basically just songs that I only played once or twice.)

I actually think Goddess is the worst song on the album by far  Maybe her weakest overall?

Yesss at us getting into talent

Yep  Anything released in November (and maybe a bit of October) could show up again next year, and all December releases will have to wait.

Right  Part of me is fine with it and part of me is really mad that Soulmate hasn't been released (which was originally planned to happen at some point.)

You know what, I actually completely forgot about that  But at least we got a whole album from her while we've only received an EP's worth of songs from Skylar.

If it wasn't such a tu,n replica then it could've been, but that chorus gets me bopping a bit more than tu,n's

Yeah Adored was just some standalone track released via Adult Swim (of all places?) Her best song though, get into IT!

Alright fine you got me! I haven't listened in a bit but it was my favorite rap song of 2014

Well it's still very new, probably in my bottom 5 from her as well  

Wow the ONLY song?  And whew thanks to whoever sent that in.

I skipped the album that has Hearts Like Ours on it, whoops

Not when self-titled has the Hurts So Good/Jump/Atic 1-2-3 punch! Hmmm a bit disgraceful but yeah get into that ASAP.

 

 

BEST ALBUMS || #35-31

 

 

35. Foals 'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 2'

Trinity: 1. The Runner • 2. Like Lightning • 3. Black Bull

Bottom 3: 6. Dreaming Of • 7. Into the Surf • 8. Neptune
Thoughts~ She's good... but kinda NOTHING compared to Part 1. I feel like they went into

new territory with Part 1 but in this sequel they gave us a more typical sound.

 

34. Of Monsters and Men 'FEVER DREAM'

Trinity: 1. Alligator • 2. Wars • 3. Stuck In Gravity

Bottom 3: 9. Ahay • 10. Wild Roses • 11. Under a Dome
Thoughts~ More lively than their first 2 albums but it's still pretty much on the same level as them:

Enjoyable, but nothing very special. They kinda teased us too hard with the lead single.

 

33. half•alive 'Now, Not Yet'

Trinity: 1. arrow • 2. RUNAWAY • 3. Pure Gold

Bottom 3: 9. creature • 10. ok ok? • 11. BREAKFAST
Thoughts~ A good debut, was hoping for something a bit stronger but I'll take it.

Not a ton of standouts aside from the pre-release tracks.

 

32. Beyoncé & Various Artists 'The Lion King: The Gift'

Trinity: 1. MOOD 4 EVA • 2. MY POWER • 3. SPIRIT

Bottom 3: 11. WATER • 12. JA ARA E • 13. ALREADY
Thoughts~ I'm surprised that so many people have underrated this album & I seem to like it more than a lot of

the Hive. It's a good time, especially since I've never dived into afrobeat, plus Bey's 2018 side project w/ Jay-Z

had my expectations lowered. It's way better than the actual movie AND its original soundtrack combined.

 

31. Tove Lo 'Sunshine Kitty' 

Trinity: 1. Glad He's Gone • 2. Bad As the Boys • 3. Shifted

Bottom 3: 11. Jacques • 12. Really don't like u • 13. Mistaken
Thoughts~ It kinda hurts to put her this low but I feel like there's a few too many songs that are

just there - they don't feel like a standout and don't feel like a filler. It's still very cohesive

and mostly enjoyable, although more toned down than I expected / wanted.

 

[prézli]

Oh wow, Sunshine Kitty is very low.   You like the same songs as I do.  Yeah, I feel your disappointment, the first half is very strong, the second half is meh, but it still feels good for me (as I didn't hear too many good albums this year ).

 

The Gift is whateva. 

[BlackoutZone]

Sunshine Kitty was really a cute girl, but I have to say I got bored with it so quick compared to Tove's past albums  
Never finished listenening to Fever Dream fff  

[TheWayWeWere]

I loved Gift like..for a minute   Beyonce better revive next year   Water is a bop tho sis  

Sunshine Kitty is a bit low  not her best, yeah, but still pretty good work  

[Body Electrician]

I found both Foals' albums just a bit meh  preferred Part 1 if I had to choose, the only song I vaguely remember from Part 2 is Into the Surf which was cute after the interlude in Part 1

[ARTPØP]

Sunshine Kitty

Mmm both of us serving taste  I actually don't think there's any superior half, there's highs and lows on both.

Yeah, pretty much my exact feelings

Welp  I guess you didn't miss out on too much.

Well at least you're definitely not alone  And according to sales and streams, many fans/stans haven't even bothered to press play  Don't remember what it sounds like, honestly!

Well I could label Part 2 like that but definitely not 1  Except for Cafe d'Athens on the latter, which is the least favorite from both combined.
