ikiru's Best of 2020! | FINISHED


Recommended Posts

Posted

Seems like lots of kpop in the singles, lemme check them out!

 

Yes yes yes Declan's album. I love the Thatcher shade in Rapture.

 

Same feelings as me on the Kali album! It's like #52 on my list so it just missed the cuff but if it had been released even a month earlier I think it'd be higher. I still prefer Isolation :-*

just listened to  Zeros the other day actually and loved it :clap3: "Beautiful Faces" is my fave from it 

Posted

Euphoric Sad Songs almost top 5 :jonny5: I ADORE sad dance songs and this EP captures these so well :jonny:

Posted

Raye's EP was cute but not my fave from her :michael:

Posted

i will get to the Kali album!  I've heard good things/its been recommended to me so I think i'll like it

 

La Di Da is a great BL track :clap3: folklore and charli :clap3: I personally like evermore even more than folklore but i'm an actual fan of hers so maybe my thoughts would be different skull:  they do feel different I guess (to me)

 

Sawayama also excellence of course.  I love Stray Kids but I don't like noisy kpop, funny how that works

7. oklou - god's chariots

I can hear some tasty synths in there. :katie2: I never knew she had released an album. Only song I had heard from her was Fall.

 

Going over your list I checked this one. Woohoo cheesy stuff.

kim jae hwan - nuna

If I knew some Korean, I think I'd sing along its chorus. Only word in English I could hear was GIRL... :lakitu:

Posted

Not really into K-Pop unless the production and/or melodies are really strong. La Di Da is actually quite nice! One (Lucid Dream) had my attention until the chorus underwhelmed me. || Put Declan on my list of artists to check out a few days ago, I'll get to ha soon :gaycat3: Euphoric Sad Songs :clap3: A solid EP, and i'm glad Regardless is the new single

Posted

Yeah seems like Raye is doing pretty well on the lists here, she doesn't seem quite interesting enough for me but Natalie Don't was cute, need to hear more of her songs I think I heard a couple others but don't remember them

Going to play Declan's album now lol

Posted

Charli & Taylor :)

My Name Is Dark is a SONG :katie2: God's Menu is fine but Kick It and Tiger Inside are actually horrific :mandown:

LOVE to see Blue Hour so high, might be my fave title track from them :smitten: still mad that they excluded that excellent bridge :shakeno:

XS is a SONG :smitten: Soul Lady deserved to be even higher I think :-* Skz's albums were quite bad I think + Sawayama WAY too low :keir:

folklore a stunning alberm, deserves all the acclaim and success :clap3: Miss Anthropence v high as well, love to see it :heart:

well Quiet Down is good but Love Again and 7 Days are miles better, at least it's not Ridin' :mandown: La Di Da pop perfection x

the Golden Child song was nice but I preferred the last 2 titles :-* Resonance booo, Neon Zone deserved and Taeyong evil x

Kali's album was such a surprise, i love it so much :jonny5: Raye's release was full of cute bops as well :jamming:

Why is still their best song! :alexz: It took me a while to get into Sukhumvit Swimming!

I agree!! I hope she releases more songs with that sound in the future :dancehall:

HIT > Left & Right :fan:

oh The Boyz are full of visuals and gays! all of their road to kingdom performances were amazing, but the reveal performance is just pure art! :heart2:

Soobin :clap3: I pick my biases based on looks as well, and then I just accept their personality lol, yeonjun king :fan:

dun dun :deadbanana4: let's not talk about that song :mandown:

for sure, hope they serve like that again :alexz:

HIT worst song ever x

n, i have a harder time keeping up with boy groups and boy solos for kpop.  its cuz the aggressive noisy stuff i have to be in the mood for, though i usually DO enjoy nct's stuff when i bother to listen.

 

kali's is my fave in your albums set.  i honestly had no expetations for it, i enjoyed isolation but didn't stan.  imo, this is a better release because its more concise and consistent.

 

 

i get what you mean but i'm in the mood for aggressive noisy all the time (boys only, usually not a huge fan when k-pop girlies do that lol)

yes her latest album is more consistent but i still prefer isolation :mandown:

Quiet Down really good, but yes La Di Da groundbreaking :clap3: 

RAYE definitely appears on surprisingly many lists and I'm also glad however the material on this record is so good I'm mad it isn't her proper full length debut, it just needed a few more songs...

yes stan quiet down, la di da is everglows best song ugh (which isn't rly hard because their other releases were meh)

I'm mad she isn't releasing the album on vinyl :frown:

La Di Da is really good, a lot of people that aren't into K-Pop enjoy it!

Oh great! Declan's music this year is just crazy good!

Same! I really hope it'll be a hit for her!

I will never understand who thought it was a good idea to exclude the bridge!! :biblio:

Sawayama right were she belongs :oh:

Ridin > Love Again and 7 Days, but I respect your opinion :heart2:

stan golden child :katie2:

Resonance is their best album, neon zone too noisy (can't believe I'm saying that), Taeyong angel and best k-pop boy :heart2:

I don't know all their names, but we all know that mrs kevin moon is gay :fan:

thanks for dragging my taste like that, i'm sure you'll prefer the next update lol

Top 5 Songs of 2020

Let me keep it short and cute.

https://i.ibb.co/DrzdZKP/Physical.png

 

5. Dua Lipa - Physical

(Spotify)

 

No words needed. I'm sure we can all agree that this is pop perfection.

 

https://i.ibb.co/KmFvrX1/Can-t-You-See-Me.png

 

4. TOMORROW X TOGETHER - Can't You See Me?

(Spotify)

 

This song made me stan TXT so I had to include it in my Top 5! They are the best K-Pop boygroup of the year without a doubt! The music video for this song is also the Music Video of the Year for me.

 

https://i.ibb.co/b22yJYF/NoNo.png

 

3. Jefferson Qian - NoNo

(Spotify)

 

The Chinese king of pop! Jefferson is probably one of the best discoveries I've made this year! His talent is undeniable, he writes and mostly produces his own songs and this boy is just 19 years old! It was super hard to decide which Jefferson song gets the Top 5 spot, but since this is my most played song from him, it had to be NoNo.

 

https://i.ibb.co/LPyvxjC/Midnight-Sky.png

 

2. Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky

(Spotify)

 

Great lyrics, great production and Miley sounds incredible! The final chorus is giving me life!

 

#1
 

Spoiler


Blue-Hour.png

 

1. TOMORROW X TOGETHER - We Lost The Summer

(Spotify)

 

YES! This is the best song of 2020! Written by Charli XCX, the song just hits me. This is the perfect anthem for 2020 because we really lost the summer! This has been a terrible year (especially summer) for all of us, so this song is absolutely emotional and even a bit sad to me. Thank you TXT for saving this year with this masterpiece!

 

 

Top 5 Albums of 2020

 

Plastic-Hearts.png

 

5. Miley Cyrus - Plastic Hearts

(Spotify)

 

Love everything about it. Her attitude this era is wonderful! And this sounds like the album she was born to make, her voice is just out of this world.

Favorite tracks: Midnight Sky, WTF Do I Know, Angels Like You

 

BLACK-OUT.png

 

4.  Woo - BLACK OUT

(Spotify)

 

The best K-Hip Hop album I've ever heard. I am absolutely fascinated by Woo's artistry.

Favorite tracks: Used To, JOB, Chingiz Khan

 

Future-Nostalgia.png

 

3. Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia

(Spotify)

 

Pop perfection for the ages.

Favorite tracks: Physical, Levitating, Break My Heart

 

Galore.png

 

2. Oklou - galore

(Spotify)

 

Beautiful and atmospheric synth pop mixed with gorgeous vocals. Way too underrated! If you're reading this, listen to it right now. :smitten:

Favorite tracks: god's chariots, unearth me, girl on the throne

 

#1
 

Spoiler


Yellow-Beatles.png

 

1. Jefferson Qian - Yellow Beatles

(Spotify)

 

This shouldn't come as a surprise if you've followed my top 100 songs of the year. Nearly every song from this album got a spot in my best of. Self-written and mostly self-produced Jefferson delivers a incredible mix of R&B/Hip-Hop and Experimental Pop music. One of the best albums of all time probably, such a shame no one knows it exists.

 

 

Thank you guys so so much for all your comments! This was a really fun experience for someone who only lurks on this site and never comments anywhere lol. I will continue to check out and comment on your lists and look for some good new music to listen to. The songs you've recommended me so far or I listened to from your lists were really good! See you next year! Stay healthy and have a beautiful Christmas time if you celebrate it! :heart2:

You can add me on last.fm so I can stalk your library and discover more music! :oh:

See ya next year and I added you on last.fm (I'm habboboredom... wish I could change my name)

WOW :jonny5: Of course Dua and Miley slay picks etc etc but TXT YES! My favorite bg by far now :jonny5: Honestly CYSM is sort of the song that made me stan too, but Fairy of Shampoo is better, REALLY surprised with We Lost The Summer, cause it's not my favorite on the mini, but it's a nice track :clap3: Can't wait for their next serve

Physical & Midnight Sky :clap3:

 

Plastic Hearts & Future Nostalgia :WAP:

God Physical is just such an amazing song. Happy to see it being your highest Dua track. Midnight Sky is great too. I haven't heard your #1 though, lemme add to my list!

 

I don't know a few of these albums either so I'll have to check those out! Dua's album being so high is ALSO a damn slay :clap3: 

Posted

mess at the #1 :rip: I think my least fave TXT song tbh, very dated and topical'd :fan: charli talentless hag :heart:

Can't You See Me? big bop, but their worst title track I think :keir: Midnight Sky better than Physical but both overrated :keir:

the NoNo song was difficult to find on youtube but if it's what I clicked on then I'm judging :mandown:

Plastic Hearts deffo her best release since Bangerz :clap3: full of bops

Future Nostalgia deserves, I would have it higher if it weren't for the last 2 songs but still a great album :katie2:

We Lost The Summer iconic covid anthem! CYSM pop perfection! :celestial5:

well I added spotify links to my post, you could've just clicked on that to listen to NoNo, but I'm sure you listened to the right song, and I'm sure you'll hate it :mandown: there's just something about you not liking good songs :oh:

good in bed and boys will be boys aren't that terrible tbh :katie2:

nope, that's it, can't wait for you to drag my whole music taste again in 2021 :heart2:

Miley & Dua :katie2:

Just came to say that La Di Da stayed in my head for a bit & I checked out some more from them and a few others were nice as well :jamming: So I'm lowkey getting into a K-Pop group (that isn't K/DA with plenty of English lyrics) and that is quite a rare event!
