[geodancefreak]

So so so many great choices 

[Kiss It Better]

WTF Do I Know is a really great opener 

Physical best video 

[Lazuli]

dynasty is literally the only right answer  cannot stress the amount of times i get SHOOK by this track

other than that i think tonight is the only other punchy intro

given how short the ep is, i feel like there really isn't much for in a dream to close, ykwim  

remember where you are, now THAT'S how you close a PERFECT album ugh. birghtest blue, i know the end and crystal clear too

[TheWayWeWere]

Dynasty, Alice, Future Nostalgia and WTF Do I Know is killer openings

NRO being opening to such a messy album So Bad is fierce

 

I Know the End remains probably my favorite ending for album this year  it's so thrilling

Pretty much  It would be insane to put it anywhere else other than #1.

My whole top 6 is incredibly punchy, why is the main reason why they're so high!

Well... true But it's still a closer and that's all that matters to me!

Yeah she spoiled us a little too hard with NRO & HIH  It definitely is

 

It probably could've been higher if I had more time with it, sis was a little too overwhelming on my first 2 listens. Thrilling is an accurate way to describe it!

 

 

And now it's time to wrap this up with some Most Played lists! Which is a pretty uneventful way to end

but these would've spoiled earlier categories + it's better to do it last so the stats are more accurate

yes keep laughing while he's laughing to the bank and up the Best Of lists!!!

Yeah I've been doing these for a few years, I looove a good opener and closer

Pretty much  It would be insane to put it anywhere else other than #1.

My whole top 6 is incredibly punchy, why is the main reason why they're so high!

Well... true But it's still a closer and that's all that matters to me!

Yeah she spoiled us a little too hard with NRO & HIH  It definitely is

 

It probably could've been higher if I had more time with it, sis was a little too overwhelming on my first 2 listens. Thrilling is an accurate way to describe it!

Miley Cyrus "Angels Like You"

Allie X "Super Duper Party People"

It's what they deserves 

[KasioKas]

Dynasty really is a terrific opener!

Also love seeing that your most played song is an ARIANA track.. INCH RESTING..

 

Check out my final update as well!

[Mezik]

Oh dear lord, so much to catch-up on - where to start..... well first, Gaga really dominated/took control of your life this year huh? I stan though. While 'Chromatica' wasn't a PHENOMENAL album, it was still overly solid and did not have a lot of filler to it - probably her most complete album since BTW. As well 'Rain on Me' was a pop moment, and had the album been filled with dance pop gold like that I would've rated it higher.

 

Love seeing all the Troye, Jesse, Dua, Weeknd Love too.  

 

[potent]

Excited for plenty of those artists next year. Hopefully Billie delivers as well as Lorde, if she actually releases something...

[Ghostlysnaker]

Gaga dominating this chart, at least this time I really like "Rain On Me", "Blinding Lights"  and of course Dua Lipa
