best of REM-EMBERING 2019 ⭐ Finished!

[BlackoutZone]

I'm such a flop for being so late with MUNA, I only listened to their debut yesterday and LORD! Love me some more Aly & AJ bops x Can't wait to get into their 2nd album as I will obviously love it too so I'm glad to see it on your list 

Outside of that - loving to see Want You In My Room, hating to see Too Much, very overrated imo 

Hit Me When it Hurts was a grower for me, but K-12 kinda aged quite fast while I liked it on first listen.

Billie's album is cute, a little too "alt-pop" for my taste but has some gems. Bad Guy is a bop

Alt-pop is great though  ...well, most of the time  It does indeed, and it is for sure

I feel a bit left out seeing Hatchie on all these lists but I didn't even know she released an album

K-12 kinda grew with the film but eh, I expected more

8 being underrated as usual  your top 3 is kinda basic tho

That's how I felt in Best of 2018 when Sugar & Spice was all over EP lists

Same  Hope the next album in 2025 can show some improvement

8 is pretty fairly rated, I'd say  Kiii I actually agree but i love you, bury a friend & listen before i go are right behind.

Billie I never was interested in her before this year, but she punched with Roma soundtrack/bury a friend/album  

WHEN I WAS OLDER is amazing and should've found its way on the album so it wouldn't be as underappreciated!

I was late to their debut (found it during this Summer) but was on time for Saves the World  MUNA + Aly & SlayJ both snapped yup yup

Hmmm a tad messy, honestly! At least it's not one of my main Dedicated faves so I don't feel the need to drag/clock/etc

[BlackoutZone]

Juice and Never Really Over  Both easy, light pop perfections!

Maggie keeps releasing cute songs too

[TheWayWeWere]

Raising Hell I still have hope for album, but this is a bit mess  

Juice  

NRO

wait, I need to listen to Love You for a Long Time  

[Remmy]

MINI CATEGORIES || PART III

 

 

WORST ALBUM COVER

P!nk 'Hurts 2B Human'

Omg P!nk is melting, someone help her don't just stand there

But uhmmm yeah, as if the album title wasn't questionable enough...

 

 

WORST SINGLE COVER

Lana Del Rey "some songs have titles that feel like

you're typing out an essay - and this has one"

(aka "hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it")

This image & the borders just send me a bit Like okay minimalist queen. I'm sure

there's worse options from this year but this is something that quickly came to mind.

[BlackoutZone]

Correct  

[KasioKas]

Those covers are real? mess

[Legend E]

Raising Hell, Juice, Never Really Over  

 

Hurts 2B Human  Even Piece By Piece outsold  

[kiiwii]

a few tracks on foals' album were cute, and muna's is def one of my favorite releases this year  billie's album just didn't do it for me all that much tho.

[Tsareena]

lover was cute but yaas at keepsake
too much, want you in my room, 

saves the world, billie  
raising hell, juice, nro, motivation, great songs

 

[Alldeezy]

Taylor, Kesha, Katy & Adam <3 

[potent]

I like the majority of your singles list, interesting to see Maggie already this high with a new single. Juice could've been higher though and Bad Guy being higher than Bury a Friend is questionable

Not a fan of Never Really Over

 

Billie and Foals album appearing here, especially glad to see Foals making top 10  

[Brandon]

 

ℝ?????? ℍ???,????? & ℕℝ? 

[rvx]

You Need To Calm Down 

[gagacasanova]

Raising hell, never really over, you need to Calm down

a LIST! 

worst album cover, title, and album all at once tbh wtf is pink on this year

nnnnnnnnnnn i didnt think much of hope's cover cuz well... it's lana 

[K$Ellie]

billie a friend making the top 40 the other song will probs be bad guy but it should be when the billie's over

Juice, Motivation and Never Really Over are nice  I can also enjoy Raising Hell ironically

Can't exactly disagree with the worst single and album covers

[TheWayWeWere]

your worst album/single covers are correct  

Lana serving music quality with these covers  

[Mark Rih]

Yeah that Pink cover was tragic.

 

Lana that would be tragic even for an instagram post

It's a bit noisey and outdated but I don't personally have a problem with that  I have hope in the album as well because she's been serving all this time, why would she stop now?

Yes you do! Hopefully you did because that was your homework

My Own Dance could've been better but I think Raising Hell is great. Haven't listened to Resentment yet because I'm just gonna wait until the album's out.

Yep she really zoomed up here real quickly  I actually raised her up a spot right before posting the update  They're pretty much on the same level but I'd say bad guy had more of an impact on my year (and, well, almost everyone else's)

when the party's over could've made it but I'm kinda picky with adding in Q4 2018 singles, I feel like they had to really have an impact on my year in some way to be included.

Wow I've seen you bashing it all over the place except here! I think it's starting to grow on you when you don't want it to  Thoughts?

BEST ALBUMS || #06-04

FUN FACT: All 3 of these have been tied at my #4 spot for weeks, so I finally had to put them in order yesterday.

 

06. Nina Nesbitt 'The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change'

Ranking: 1. Last December • 2. TSWCU,TSWC • 3. Love Letter • 4. TISWYS • 5. Loyal to Me

6. Colder • 7. The Best You Had • 8. Empire • 9. The Moments I'm Missing • 10. Chloe

11. Sacred • 12. Somebody Special • 13. Is It Really Me You're Missing
Thoughts~ Never heard of Nina before this year but she really did the damn thing here. Her songwriting is

so personal. There's several moments where she tells you about her life, talks about insecurities and she really

treats her listeners like they're a close friend - which is all very satisfying. It's generally a chill album but there are

some upbeat tracks that really stick out and get you moving. The last 3 tracks end things so perfectly...

an absolutely stunning conclusion.

 

 

05. Betty Who 'Betty'

Ranking: 1. Just Thought You... • 2. Stop Thinking About You • 3. I Remember • 4. Whisper

5. Do with It • 6. The One • 7. Old Me • 8. Ignore Me • 9. Taste • 10. Marry Me

11. Language • 12. Between You & Me • 13. All This Woman
Thoughts~ Betty's 2014 debut was great, 2017's The Valley was close to hitting my top 10 that year (but it actually

ended up not aging all that well), and her 2018 EP was solid - but 2019 is when she decided to drop her best work yet.

This is SO much fun and she really filled the tracklist with as many highlights as possible. You can hear the inspiration

from her previous releases and how they're all combined together to make this, which might be why it's self-titled.

Now's the time to stop sleeping on her.

 

 

04. Carly Rae Jepsen 'Dedicated'

Ranking: 1. No Drug Like Me • 2. Real Love • 3. WYIMR • 4. Julien • 5. Feels Right • 6. Party for One

7. Too Much • 8. NTIFY • 9. I'll Be Your Girl • 10. Happy Not Knowing • 11. Right Words Wrong Time

12. Everything He Needs • 13. For Sure • 14. Automatically In Love • 15. The Sound
Thoughts~ I mean, it's Carly... what did you expect? Did you really think she WASN'T gonna serve??? Because that's on you.

Carly continues on with her amazing '80s pop sound, with a few twists and a hint of experimenting, to create Dedicated.

As usual, there's so much to enjoy and the replay value is through the roof.

You Need To Calm Down, Lights Up, In My Bed 

I'm not using Motivation so much but the video it's amazing!

dsfhsdhshfhfds the Lana single cover

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