 #100 

Lauv & Conan Gray

"Fake"

 

 

 

This came out not too long ago, and I've been bopping to it ever since.

Their voices mesh well together and Lauv is so hot tbh. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

#99

Billie Eilish

 "All the Good Girls Go to Hell" 

 

 

This song isn't my favorite from Billie's debut tbh

However, I think it made for a good single and I find myself jamming to it from time to time.

 

Spoiler

 

 

#98

Maroon 5

"Nobody's Love"

 

 

I know there's a lot of Maroon 5 haters on here.

Their recent releases haven't been too great, but I still enjoyed this one when it first came out.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

#97

Taylor Swift

 "the 1" 

 

 

Taylor surprise release of "folklore" was one of the few good things of 2020.

"The 1" is hands down my favorite from that record, and deserves all the success it's had.

Maybe she'll release this to US radio stations next year! 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

#96

Cher Lloyd

 "MIA"

 

 

Cher Lloyd's "come back" single was a bit underwhelming tbh

However, this song is cute and I've definitely found myself bopping to it.

 

Spoiler

#95

 The Weeknd

"Blinding Lights" 

 

 

Even though this song was the #1 of the year on Billboard, it wasn't my favorite.

I think it got too overplayed for me early on, which is why it didn't last long on my chart.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

#94

Bastille

 "Joy"

 

 

This one charted at #11 on my 2019 year end list.

A great song from a great and underrated band.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

#93 

Sean Paul ft. Tove Lo

 "Calling On Me"

 

 

When i first heard of this collab, I for sure thought it was an interesting pair

Tove Lo always adds a sort of magic to everything she touches. 

 

Spoiler

 

 

#92

Taylor Swift

"The Man"

 

 

Not my favorite song from Taylor, however, the message is a good one.

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

#91

Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey

"Don't Call Me Angel"

 

 

A bop from 3 different queens.

This ended up at the end of my 2019 year end, as well.

 

Spoiler

I agree, DCMA doesn't deserve all the hate but it isn't the most amazing song either.

Don't Call Me Angel 

[JGibson]

Joy + The Man + all the good girls go to hell + Nobody's Love 

[potent]

Blinding Lights should be way higher, but it'll be slaying on everyone else's probably so I can forgive this

Joy we stan

AGGGTH, Fake, and The 1 are cute

[TheWayWeWere]

I'll pretend DCMA never existed  

Calling on Me and Blinding Lights  

[dreamofyou]

these are all good songs

[BlackoutZone]

I did not like most of these, but Blinding Lights is really that classic and ages beautifully

[perpetual novice]

Calling On Me was a bop, forgot about it  Maybe I will revisit 

[ARTPØP]

#90

Ariana Grande

"positions"

 

 

One of my favorite Ari singles ever. It's absolutely infectious!

Would be higher if it came out earlier in 2020.

 

Spoiler

 

 

#89

Tove Lo ft. ALMA

"Bad As The Boys"

 

 

One of my favorites from Sunshine Kitty

This placed at #31 on my 2019 Year End, too.

 

Spoiler

 

 

#88

Zara Larsson

"WOW"

 

 

Zara just has a way of making fantastic pop music.

The "make your jaw drop drop" part is just so catchy.

 

Spoiler

 

 

#87

Marshmello & Demi Lovato

"OK Not To Be OK"

 

 

A cute lil bop although it's definitely neither of their best work

 

Spoiler

 

 

#86

Sam Smith & Demi Lovato

"I'm Ready"

 

 

Tbh I was expecting a lot more from this collaboration 

However, it still a pretty decent song

yassss! You should its v good! 

[ARTPØP]

#85

J. Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny & Tainy

"Un Dia (One Day)"

 

 

Wow the first of many songs by Dua to come.

She can literally make any song sound so infectiously good

 

Spoiler

 

 

#84

Lauv

"Modern Loneliness"

 

 

This one is super relatable, ngl

Lauv is very underrated tbh 

 

Spoiler

 

 

#83

Ava Max

"Torn"

 

 

Ava really knows how to make great pop music

Wish this was a big smasher

 

Spoiler

 

 

#82

blackbear

"queen of broken hearts"

 

 

Blackbear was an artist I found myself enjoying more and more this year

 

Spoiler

 

 

#81

Normani

"Motivation"

 

 

One of my fave bops from 2019 makes an appearance on this year's list too!

 

Spoiler

[dreamofyou]

they way positions is the same on both of our lists love some of these

[rvx]

Blinding Lights + The Man + Positions 

[Ava Max]

Torn

[Remmy]

I'm one of the few Maroon 5 fans on here but lord, Memories + Nobody's Love are major bombs for me. MIA is alright, Don't Call Me Angel was definitely underwhelming. Fake, all the good girls, the 1, positions, OK Not to Be OK, I'm Ready - all cute but each artist has better material. The Man + Bad As the Boys Motivation Blinding Lights As everyone has already said, it's way too low!!

[JGibson]

OK Not To Be OK 

[Ewan Chaos]

Calling on Me is exactly what 2016 me would have wanted (I stanned Sean Paul with Rockabye and Cheap Thrills and Tove with Cool Girl/Lady Wood album). I really don't like it that much tho sadly!
