best of REM-EMBERING 2020 ⭐ FINISHED! ✨

[madonnas]

drag that evil qveen herby!  she triggers me by how corny her music is.

 

i agree that benee was underwhelming.  i was honestly expecting more when i saw the guest roster, but then again, the songs with features were the best ones.

 

[Post Malone]

Too many bops in the best singles and non singles lists 

[Brandon]

[Smilers]

amazing Carly selections 

[TRF.]

The 070 Shake album was really cute. It was a lot better than what I was expecting!

Meghan Trainor 'A Very Trainor Christmas' [Holidays]

Dude... Her other album better not make your list...

Calvin Harris ft. The Weeknd "Over Now"
Dua Lipa ft. Angèle "Fever"

 

The amount of talent in these songs

[BlackoutZone]

Sad to hear you didn't like BENEE's album

XYLO really went from serving bops to dropping some short boring mini projects I listen to once and drop...

Some really nice picks on the song list however I agree that for most they aren't good enough for the main list

I ranked their album 42nd last year. Don't worry, I'll serve their songs justice on the decade lists.

Not too bad considering you listen to a ton of albums  That's good to hear!

I'm really anticipating WW1984 & Soul tho 

 

Fever, Worry about me, What a man gotta do, Didn't I, Rare, Monster & cardigan all out of the main top 

Both seem to be getting pretty solid reviews so far, especially Soul

 

What a Man Gotta Do & Monster ESPECIALLY didn't deserve spots!  Not like they're bad or anything, just not worthy of even getting close.

The Invisible Man, Bombshell sweeties...

Bombshell could've/should've been a lot stronger, especially with that fantastic cast  End of story!

Didn't listen to BENEE's EP from this year tbh

 

These are the only ones that may have deserved it... probably My God the most, that was one of my favorites from their album but not sure how many entries they still have?

Joan disappointed me a little bit if I'm being honest, the songs were very boybandish, not in a bad way (more throwback stuff like BSB), but I thought they would have more of like a TDCC type sound

It's actually her debut album from last month but you're not missing out on much

 

They have 2 left

Hmm I can see that a little bit, although they really really REALLY snapped with their (main) 2 EPs

Honestly, 'Wonder' and 'Positions' were quite underwhelming compared to bother their previous albums. I was looking forward to both releases, but they're honestly just snooze fests.  

 

The amount of quality in your tracks! I am so happy you enjoyed Tenille, the album was so good. She's an underrated Canadian gem and I hope she picks up traction.  

 

'cardigod' is amazing.  

I had some decent hopes after hearing the title track, then Monster came out and I realized I probably shouldn't have high expectations for a Shawn album. I'm not even a huge fan of him or anything. Positions was just simply weak through and through, not sure what she was thinking with that one.

 

Yeah, Tenille is nice  Unfortunately I don't expect her to...

 

   It's cute but hasn't ever been anywhere near my top favorites from folklore. I just simply don't love it like a lot of people do!

WIMPIII not making the list

CARDIGAN NOT IN YOUR MAIN LIST? GORL....

I never cared for HAIM before so they were luckily to even make an appearance  Half the album is pretty solid at least.

"I hate when movies like these are labeled as horror because seeing that made me want to stay away from American Psycho, but it was really just a dark comedy with a few horror elements here and there. I had a great time with it" > WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN? Don't you dare to talk about my favorite genre like that.  Also, "American Psycho" is labeled as a "black comedy slasher film" on Wikipedia. 

I'm too much of a wuss for horror movies most of the time, especially ones with heavy gore + jumpscares, so if I see that something is horror then I'm simply more likely to avoid it  Horror is one of the genres listed on Google & Letterboxd

JoJo's December Baby was one of my favorite xmas albums in years  

Selena flopping with both of her singles  Rare is a hit that got away  

It was just alright. At least HYaMLC, December Baby, The Christmas Song & Wishlist are great.

Would've agreed with that earlier in the year, now at this point I'm fine with how it charted

On 12/7/2020 at 9:31 AM, Staryu said:

Poor HAIM  I really like half the album, forgot the rest though so I guess it's a fair placement. I hated positions at first but it really grew on me the more I listened. 

I feel the same way @ really liking half the album. Honestly, I haven't bothered to give positions a second listen because I feel like the potential for it to grow on me is pretty low

Mulan was so awful. I didn’t even finish it

There were several moments where I felt like turning it off Luckily I didn't waste money on it, and I was never thinking about doing that in the first place. It's funny how I could tell the movie was gonna suck less than 10 minutes in.

On 12/7/2020 at 12:47 PM, K$Ellie said:

Melanie's EP did indeed suck

I like Daisies a lot though

Yeah I don't know what she was thinking with half of that tracklist 

Wish I felt the same way Instead, it's easily in my Smile bottom 2 with Resilient

I actually loved her in Karmin and thought she started off her solo career nicely with the first 2 EPs, although after that I only started caring for a handful of tracks.  9 EPs in 3.5 years but a good amount of them are packed with fillers...

 

I would agree if the last 2 collaborations were scrapped  Or just the last 5 songs overall

Pretty much  She did make some points on Chlorine though, and Life or Death a little bit.

BEST EPs || #20-11

I heard 35 EPs in 2020, which is easily the most I've heard in one year. I guess people were dropping

so many to avoid putting out an album during quarantine. Here are my top 20 favorites.

NOTE: This category is ranked by the average score each release got after I rated every track above 2:10-ish.

 

 

20. RAYE 'Euphoric Sad Songs'
Ranking: Love of Your Life > Regardless > Secrets > Change Your Mind > Natalie Don't = the rest
 

19. Lauren Aquilina 'GHOST WORLD'
Ranking: Fúckedupminddd > Swap Places > Latest Ghost = Psycho > Best Friend > Tobacco In My Sheets
**Only heard #20+19 days ago so they could've eventually moved up a bit**

 

18. Cassadee Pope 'Rise and Shine'
Ranking: Rise and Shine > Built This House > Let Me Go = Counting On the Weather

> Hangover > California Dreaming > Hoodie = Sand Paper

 

17. Foley 'On My Conscience'

15. joan 'partly cloudy'
Ranking: cover girl > brokenhearted = want u back > magnetic > love me better > try again
**This JUST came out on Thursday, could've probably gotten close to the top 10**

Ranking: LITTLE NOKIA > ATM > GUCCI > ROLLS ROYCE > DAMN DANIEL > APESHÍT

 

13. Various Artists 'Love, Victor OST'

MINI CATEGORIES || PART I

Let's get these 2 out of the way since I know many will not care about them

 

 

BEST YOUTUBER

Brittany Broski

Channel: Here | Genre: Comedy, lowkey Beauty/Lifestyle

Subscribers: 749,000 | Avg. views/video: 500-700K

 

 

It's so nice to see someone be messy + CRACKED and not give a damn about showing it to the internet.

Brittany went viral as the "Kombucha Girl" last year and that meme gives you a good peek at how effortlessly

hilarious she is. Also, I don't watch YouTube videos a 2nd time super often but the collaborations with her

roommate (Sarah Schauer) have insane replay value, they're such a powerful duo. I've also seen people say

that she's filling the hole that Jenna Marbles left behind and I think that's pretty accurate, so if you're missing

her then maybe Brittany is the replacement you need.

 

NOTE: Someone can only win this category once, here are the previous winners~
2011 - Kingsley | 2013 - Shane Dawson LOL | 2014 - Grace Helbig | 2015 - DashieXP/DashieGames
2016 - Brandon Rogers | 2017 - David Dobrik | 2018 - Carly and Erin | 2019 - Pretty Much It

 

 

BEST TWITCH STREAMER

JustaMinx

Channel: Here | Most Streamed Activity: Just Chatting

Subscribers: 4,600+ | Followers: 626,000+

 

 

It all started on 4/20/20 when I stumbled upon a stream of some insanely high girl with a thick Irish

accent and a need to (jokingly) yell at her chat with phrases like "YOU FOOKING CONT", and I completely

stopped what I was doing to sit and watch for several hours. Not long after that, she started appearing

in streams/videos with creators I already enjoyed, so it was easy to continue getting into her. Minx (Rebecca)

is very entertaining while also being very genuine and, like Brittany, incredibly cracked. There's truly not a

lot of people like her out there right now and she has such an amazing relationship with her viewers.

All the success she has gotten this year is more than deserved.

 

NOTE: Someone can only win this category once, here's the previous winner~
2019 - jschlatt

[mokitsu]

OMG lol i forgot about that isaac guy. he had a controversy on atrl i dont really remember why but i think i liked that ep tei shi's ep tho

[Staryu]

yes Bree, yes talent  

[Kevin2803]

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT LAUREN RELEASED AN EP? 

 

Raye & Cassadee making the list 

[madonnas]

for some reason i counted bree's release as an album.  i guess 9 tracks tricked me.  your ranking is pretty good on it though, but you underrated damn daniel a lillll bit.

 

your tei shi ranking is correct if you switch the top 2 around  

[madonnas]

and yeah i agree w you generally about benee in that it felt like her album took forever to finish.  not necessary tbh. 

[Legend E]

it's literally the best role charlize had in years dear  nicole and margot also did a great job

 

Euphoric Sad Songs  

[Ewan Chaos]

Disappear overrated! Swap with Goodbye and you mostly have my ranking. RAYE I keep seeing; I've popped her into my "to check out" list. COIN had an EP? Is it separate from their album they released this year?

[Ava Max]

Bree

 

[Sunderland 4ever]

When was that COIN EP released?

[TheWayWeWere]

RAYE is too low  such a great project  every track is a standout
