anti where? nnnnn

[potent]

25, Damn, Lemonade are great choices

I don't really remember Ghost Stories tbh, but I liked the singles.

 

I never listened to a Drake album, I tried Scorpion but it just dragged on too much. Nice for What is still amazing though.

 BEYONCE - the reason why BEYONCE became the Album of the Decade over Anti are because of the whole thing, the whole project, the cover, the visuals, the production, the era, everything about it is so so great, so iconic, invented Friday releases and surprise releases, i just love it so much 

 

 ANTI - the album was totally worth the wait, however it could've been better in terms of tracklist, like put BBHMM, 45S and Just Feel It on it and get rid of Pose and Never Ending maybe? honestly would've been AOTD 

 

HOB - AHHHH!!!! this is his debut and his best project EVER! and the fact that it could've been better with the OG tracklist with Crew Love (his best) and 2 other songs that Drake 'stole' for Take Care, would've been even better than it already is!

 

Blond - the 1-2-3-4 punch of Solo, ST, SC, Nights is otherworldly, Good Guy would've been included if it was like the live version, not to mention the perfections that are Close to You and Seigfried and his vocals AHHH i love him so much

 

H.E.R. - honestly i thought the songs were forgettable except for a few, but thanks to the grammy noms last year i revisited the album and WOW this was a masterpiece, a classic and honestly she's so dumb for not calling it THE debut album and now releasing garbage like Slide (it's still good but come on...)

 

WWAFAWDWG - BILLIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! this album defined my 2019, honestly my first listen was like... bad guy is a HOT record and i was hoping the album was full of bad guys but xanny came and... hmmm... but no THIS IS GREAT, no offense but this is what I thought Melodrama was like, this album IS ME and it also went #1 on my weekly chart for 20 weeks which is insane and the most for ANY albums EVER and it had about 8-10 consecutive weeks at #1 (had to be broken by Steve Lacy's) 9 months in and i never get tired of this album which is rare

 

Caracal - my perfect idea of a perfect House album! honestly though, if Azealia Banks released F2 it would've taken this place but oh well... the collabs on this album are great, the production is dope

 

reputation - the OG WWAFAWDWG, i LOVE bad Taylor or maybe i just love dark albums like these... the way this is her worst performing album since idk Speak Now? Red? debut? is a crime, i wish this had better singles and more videos

 

ICWD - i was confused to pick which Tinashe's album is my fave, but i had to land on this one, her debut project that's completely perfect and she made it by herself

 

The 20/20 Experience - JT's BEST ALBUM!!! I LOVEEEEE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! the production, the songs length, it's just perfect and it became the first album i listened to in 2020 just because

All the albums in collage

[Remmy]

E•MO•TION, ARTPOP, 1989, Dangerous Woman, 25, Red, Lemonade, Dua Lipa, Born This Way, The Pinkprint, Aquarius, PRISM, Talk That Talk, 24K Magic, Dirty Computer, Lady Wood, 21, Songs for You, Starboy, Teenage Dream, Melodrama, Unapologetic, reputation, ANTI are some of my main faves here but there's still so much I enjoy on top of that  Beauty Behind the Madness & Lust for Life have some very high highs but they were a bit underwhelming in general. Billie already so high, damn BEYONCE is a great choice for #1 Even though I prefer Lemonade. Very great list overall!

I don't really remember what 2012 sounds like but I know it's from one of his good albums so I'm sure I liked it Oh yes at the BRIGHT appreciation Definitely a highlight from his album, didn't deserve to be a deluxe track. Summer Bummer Spiritual, Love Drought, Nobody's Business, needy ilomilo, What Now, Rockin', Only Girl, Teenage Dream, Turning Tables and I Miss You Don't Blame Me + Haunted

[JGibson]

What Now + Only Girl (In The World) + Teenage Dream + Summer Bummer + Midnight  

[TheWayWeWere]

The Worst  

Turning Tables still gets me everytime  

Teenage Dream is such an ear-candy  Nobody's Buisness too  

8th Grade, Only Girl

25. Alicia Keys - Listen to Your Heart

 

26. Azealia Banks - Movin’ On Up

 

27. DEAN - Put My Hands On You (ft. Anderson .Paak)

this song is basically how it feels like to have a crush on someone and you're close with them, reminds me of my ex-crush a lot 

 

28. Carly Rae Jepsen - Warm Blood

just like the previous song, this song reminds me of when i had a crush on someone in high school and my heart beats so fast and... yeah

 

29. Jorja Smith - Where Did I Go?

 

30. H.E.R. & Daniel Caesar - Best Part

this is just... wow... a perfect love song, a must play at a wedding, future classic

 

31. Lorde - Green Light

when this song first came out in 2017 i just couldn't stop playing it, it feels like breaking free from a bad relationship/crush

 

32. Billie Eilish - bad guy

this song makes me feel like a bad guy, a villain in a movie, this song is so badass, i love the production and the vibes it gives

 

33. Tove Lo - Disco ****

this disco perfection is just... perfect, do i need to say more?

 

34. Disclosure - Magnets (ft. Lorde) [SG Lewis Remix]

yess this remix>>>>>>the album version, it's so chill and perfect to play post-rain

the first Ctrl song that HIT me and honestly i wish this was bigger, as big as Ella Mai's Boo'd Up

 

39. Syd - Bad Dream/No Looking Back

 

40. Drake - Passionfruit

 

 

[potent]

Latch, Green Light, Bad Guy

Passionfruit is cute too

Walking on Air is a bop, better than any of the singles that era except Dark Horse tbh.

[Remmy]

Liquorice, Strawberry Bubblegum, Our First Time Latch, Fine China, Mine, Warm Blood and Cold Sweat Moonshine Walking On Air  Like I Do, We Found Love, Magnets, Disco Tots, bad guy, Green Light and everytime ahhh the serves! Like I Do should've been a single and huge smash PLUS it deserved that Grammy as well. Interested to see what makes the big 20

[JGibson]

We Found Love + Green Light + Disco T!ts + bad guy  

[TheWayWeWere]

Listen to Your Heart  nice to see it here, such a hidden jam from ha

Green Light / Bad Guy/ Disco ****/ Magnets/ The Big Big Beat/WFL  omg, that PUNCH
Katy's Honey title track is one of the fewest that I liked from that album  

Strawberry Bubblegum Justin scalped everyone with first part of 20/20

Comments:

Spoiler

1. Kendrick Lamar - LOYALTY. (ft. Rihanna)

FUUUUUUUUUUU*K THIS IS RIHANNA'S BEST COLLAB!!!!! and to think i hated it on the first listen..... it grew on me as i played the whole DAMN. album and... yup SONG OF THE DECADE, PERIODT.

 

2. Azealia Banks - Along the Coast

a Kaytranada x Azealia banger? YUP YUP YUP!!!! it's chill and sexy, i loveeee her singing and if this was sung by Rihanna it would've been acclaimed like Kiss It Better

 

3. H.E.R. - Could’ve Been (ft. Bryson Tiller)

this is just a perfect male-female R&B collab, wished it was a Rihanna x The Weeknd song but oh well.... and i hate her for not promoting this enough, the way it went top 80 with just a video.... if she pulled a Hard Place promo for this, would've been a top 40 hit but oh well... wish it'll win the grammy

 

4. Rihanna - Kiss It Better

do i need to say anything? *chef's kiss*

 

5. The Weeknd - King of the Fall

a banger from Abel, sad that it's not on Spotify and it should've been on BBTM between Often and The Hills, the production and him just singing bragging about his success pre-BBTM era, the video is cute too

 

6. Drake - Crew Love (ft. The Weeknd)

the first time i heard The Weeknd's voice was on this song and i thought it was Justin Bieber  and i immediately fell in love with his voice

 

7. Billie Eilish - i love you

never failed to make me cry, everytime... and i sometimes play this before i go to sleep just to cry myself to sleep, it's just so beautiful

 

8. Lorde - Ribs

the song that made me get into Lorde after i hated her for "stealing" Katy's grammys for Roar in 2014 (plssssss) a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics about getting old, i love the production

 

9. Frank Ocean - Seigfried

his best song!! period! the lyrics>>>>

 

10. Yaeji - raingurl

a deep house perfection! i didn't like it at first listen but then in April 2018 Dua Lipa played this on her instagram story and yup, instantly loved it and her entire discography

 

11. Disclosure - Willing & Able (ft. Kwabs)

another deep house/EDM perfection! i loved Kwabs' voice, the production too>>>>> 

 

12. H.E.R. - Racks (ft. YBN Cordae)

loved it since the snippet was posted back in May 2019, maybe i rated it too high yes but anyways this deserved Slide's promotion, this is the one that should've been pushed not Slide 

 

13. Tinashe - Player

honestly this song deserved to be her big breakout hit, a New Rules/Havana sized hit or at least half of it, it's a perfect pop song... i don't claim the Chris Brown version though

 

14. Rihanna - James Joint

honestly would've been my #1 had it been a full song, i just.. love this R&B excellence, James Fauntleroy is A GENIUS

 

15. Bryson Tiller - Don’t

another R&B perfection

 

16. Ella Mai - Boo’d Up

this is like... the perfect love song like... ahhh and the pure R&B production is taking me back to early 2000s

 

17. H.E.R. - Lights On

the production>>>> started to grow on me in 2019 though

 

18. Azealia Banks - Escapades

when this came out (which was messy bc she released so many versions) i couldn't stop playing it, i love her singing... truly her top tier song

 

19. The Weeknd - Often

just like KOTF, also a banger i loved most from Abel, wish he'd make this kinda songs again

 

20. The Internet - Girl (ft. Kaytranada)

thanks to Spotify playlist i discovered one of my favorite bands (The Internet) through that and this song, and Kaytranada's midas touch once again
