i love your picks for artists especially Leona, Florence and Christine
People I’ve Been Sad is an underrated hidden gem. I hope to see it charting high here. 
 

Chinatown is just so great. Too bad it came out way too late in the year. Joji, SZA and LP are also great choices. NSTR is a cute song, way better than the rest of her singles.
 

I seriously can’t express how sick I am of Dua Lipa being mentioned this year... so I won’t even do it myself.

People I’ve Been Sad is great but honestly I didn’t like it as much as some of her past singles. It won’t be coming for a while though.

 

I used to hate Dua but I’m fine with her now, she does have a song charting high  here but it’s probably the one you would expect...

I missed some, please forgive me.  

 

Calvin/The Weeknd's collab was great, Forever + Future Nostalgia + Don't Start Now & Therefore I Am are all quite solid tracks.  

 

 Carrie Underwood? Did know you used ha, happy to see your taste.  

 

The Chicks making it high too.   

Yeah I use Carrie although haven’t really checked for her since 2015. I heard all the singles from her last album and they were cute but nothing I would still listen to in 2020 tbh.

Dont Start Now is a classic  

Home With You is too low. Delete and repost it in the top2! 
love seeing The Killers get some love 

DSN is like... lowkey my least fav single from FN except maybe Hallucinate (although it’s charting higher because DSN chart run was split with 2019). I guess the good thing is that she has more songs coming?

 

HWY also had a split run with 2019, but anyway I prefer Cellophane

 

The Killers were surprisingly great this year

didn't know silversun pickups still released music!  

 

god it seems like ppl ive been sad is taking up all the energy of other deserving songs of hers.  i guess i should be happy for her though.

 

the highest rina gets is... bad friend? well you must not be a huge fan lmfao 

My most played songs are almost always going to be singles, although I was listening to Christine’s EP as well as some from her previous album too (The Walker had a fair amount of plays this year for whatever reason)
 

I mean it’s not like I listened to a bunch of Rina songs and then chose that one, I really only know a few

Not that she’s bad or anything just... not really suited for my taste I guess.

Forever that album was great
Future Nostalgia classic
Bad Friend, DSN too low
Love You For A Long Time was cute enough but weak compared to her album
Cuz I Love You great
Tones + Billie both trash I fear

 

Troye + Katy

CHVRCHES album was cute I guess, but they could’ve done better  Miracle still bops though

Didn’t listen to Maggie’s album, but I like Alaska and On + Off

I won't forgive myself for missing The Killers' album this year.

It’s not too late! I recommend My God, Blowback, title track, and the 2 singles at least

some of these are still too low, nicholas :(

 

i had no idea chvrches released something this year

both of dua's deserved to be higher

bad friend way too low too

Forever is a single from a 2 year old album lol, I mean it was one of the best tracks there (not saying a whole lot though) but I just don’t know why they released it at this point

 

Dua has multiple entries left (and I stand by DSN being overrated, also it’s more 2019)

Biffy Clyro YAAAAAAAS I feel like you will be the only other person putting them here. Scottish legends.

[Ava Max]

Future Nostalgia, Bad Friend, DSN

[Remmy]

chinatown is at a nice spot considering it's so new Leave Me Alone, Cuz I Love You, Therefore I Am Forever, Future Nostalgia, Bad Friend, Don't Start Now, Change and Love You for a Long Time oh we love those!
CHVRCHES: "Honestly not sure why they bothered releasing this lol" - because they knew their best album needed a longer era | Maggie: "Cute but HAIM did it better" - Whoa let's not go there
Conan Troye, Katy, Killers and Leona Very strong most played songs for all of them, as well as Florence.

 

Quote

WYWS is definitely not better than Maniac might be one of the best on the album but lowkey that's not saying a lot lol, I'd also put Little League and Affluenza above it

WYWS - Little League - Maniac is the official, confirmed, certified order

[potent]

singles 125-101

artists with songs still in: Vanessa Carlton, Alanis Morissette, Tame Impala, beabadoobee, The Chicks, The 1975, Glass Animals, BENEE, The Weeknd, Hayley Williams, Billie Eilish, Jessie Ware, Of Monsters and Men

If @Topmaster 2 was here he would have them too

They have better songs like Mountains and Black Chandelier but this one was cute too!

I mean in general I wouldn't say that because Maggie has other songs that are more unique (I listened to Dog Years a lot this year lol), but if we're talking about LYFALT or Give a Little then yeah

 

[BlackoutZone]

Oop I actually like Heartless more than a lot of the album, it simply got quickly overshadowed by Blinding Excellence

 

[Kevin2803]

Honest, Heartless & Save a Kiss 

[TheWayWeWere]

Ablaze is so catchy  

Black Parade is overrated as hell , but it bops

March March is too monotonous for me :riP: 

[Blue Rose]

I live for this update 

Black Parade

Save A Kiss

Black Pumas’ Colors

Coldplay’s Champion Of The World

 

[Staryu]

Let me see you 1, 2, Step  used to be obsessed with that song 

[Brandon]

ＣＯＴＷ + Ｓｉｍｍｅｒ 

[Psycho]

It Might Be Time, Heartless, Simmer, Save A Kiss all great
Tame, Rih, Adele

[Green]

Ablaze, my future, The Birthday Party, Bluebird, Champion of the world, Laugh now, Heartless, Colors are some of my favorites 

[madonnas]

dunno why everyone hated my future.  its not a strong single choice but i like the amy winehouse vibes from it.

queen cici  she passed 1k scrobbles on my last.fm this year it was a huge event for my life. 

[Mr.Link]

I would have loved Lamb’s Wool a bit higher. Somehow I like it a lot. 
 

Care is just so great, I wish there were more songs like that in the mainstream so that early 2000s pop/rock can make a comeback. 
 

Colors and Black Parade  

The rest are okay and I agree with their placement.

[Post Malone]

Lost In Yesterday my fave on TSR too, taste 

[Remmy]

Lamb's Wool, The Things We Do, Heartless (a small grower), my future Into My Arms, Honest, Someone Else, Simmer, Save a Kiss mmm all of those are lovely Not several of these songs being called weak but they almost made the top 100 || Ciara's early bops still go off  Same for Fall Out Boy's of course. Rihanna, Billie and Adele

[ARTPØP]

Night Garden 

[JGibson]

Care + It Might Be Time + Someone Else + Heat Waves + Wild Roses + Simmer + my future + Tangerine + Bluebird + Champion Of The World + March March + Ablaze 

[mokitsu]

you better stan my future altho i dont undestand if ur saying MF is bad or the new song is
