luckystrike Posted December 6, 2020 Author Posted December 6, 2020 I will be starting with the EP/Albums honorable mentions to get this over with faster so we can start the main Albums and Songs reveal ASAP EP'S There were not enough EP's released this year imo, so I chose 3 that deserved an honorable mention at least, since I'm only doing Top 5 EP's. In #3 we got Grammy nominated Noah Cyrus' latest effort! Although this EP has quite some filler songs, the good ones really hit me and I really enjoyed. In #2 we got TWICE with More & More. I really enjoy the Zara-penned title track smasha, but some of the other songs on it are very forgettable, although good enough to have an honorable mention. And in #1 for the EP's honorable mentions we got Aries by Alice Chater. At the beginning this was kind of a disappointment because she had been serving excellence until Two of Us, which then became a grower like the rest of the songs, but not enough to enter the main Top 5! ALBUMS This is a relatively new discovery, I found out he made music less than a month ago and I really loved this album, maybe if I had discovered it earlier it would've cracked the main Top 15, but it definitely deserved an honorable mention. In #4 we got this indie queen, maybe if I had had more time with this proiect it would've also entered the main list, but since it came out quite late into the year and I didn't listen to it a lot of times, #4 in honorable mentions is good enough. One of the earliest projects of the year lands at #3 here, it got very overshadowed by newer releases but I really enjoy this album overall. Same as Conan, Allie released a great album very early which got overshadowed by newer releases, but it still has some of my favorite songs of the year! Stay tuned kii And the #1 honorable mention goes to Twice! This album is sooo fun and what made me become a full stan, it has a few filler songs but I really enjoy it SONGS HONORABLE MENTIONS & TOP 5 EP'S OF THE YEAR COMING TOMORROW!
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 6, 2020 ATRL Moderator Posted December 6, 2020 alice chater released an ep? i only know hourglass and she collabed with iggy. in terms of albums.... twice's album was pretty solid. for a kpop album at least. i liked the city pop song on it.
Psycho Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 More & More Aries aged on arrival, her previous singles >> Cape God a fitting Honorable Mention Eyes Wide Open is cute when you trim the fat
Enigmanotta Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 The majority of your honorable mentions are already tasteful... I'm not ready for the flavour that's coming!

Alex Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Noah EP is great but i haven't listened in months Aries f**king garbage Conan Gray.... next joke Cape God disappointing snooze ready for the actual list ...
TheWayWeWere Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 I still can't believe Noah snatched Grammy nom July should've gotten one tho Her EP was cute tho, better than the first one
BlackoutZone Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) WORK graphics Hated More & More, Eyes Wide Open was also disappointing, but much better Cape God and Apart are great Aries is definitely first underwhelming Alice release, but it's not that bad so I also had her in HMs. Edited December 6, 2020 by BlackoutZone
dreamofyou Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 TEOE is my go to late night sad hours album
Mr. Blue_Shirt Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 YES The HM list are great. Eyes Wide Open is a superior TWICE album this year whew
mokitsu Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 TWICE and Noah i liked EYO more i think, but both are kinda meh so im glad theyre on the HMs
Supervillain Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 More & More and Eyes Wide Open deserved more but it's understandable because you're putting western and Korean projects in the same list, LÉON underrated queen even tho I enjoyed her debut much more, Conan can choke, Cape God was cute

luckystrike Posted December 6, 2020 Author Posted December 6, 2020 SONGS To finish the HM section, I chose 10 songs that didn't make it into Luckyfork's () Top 50 songs, but they definitely deserved an honorable mention. At #10 we have Alice Chater with her EP's title track "Aries". I was very hyped for this song because the live performances sounded amazing, and it didn't let me down but it definitely aged. Hope this is not controversial, HYLT was definitely a great comeback imo, I still really like it but comparing it to other releases, it wasn't enough to crack the Top 50. Aly & AJ land at #8 with their droplet "Joan of Arc On the Dancefloor". I definitely liked this more than Attack of Panic (which is still great) but it kind of aged a little and I stopped using it towards the last months of 2020. "Lonely" by Noah Cyrus lands at #7. This song makes me SO sad and I really love it, it's probably one of Noah's best songs so far. I kind of stopped using it 'cause it got a bit old but still hits when it comes on shuffle. In 6th place we have a new 2020 discovery, Swedish debutant Nova Miller really delivered an amazing project and this song was definitely a massive highlight, I can't wait to see what she does next. Now this song is sooo underrated, it's definitely one of my favorites on the album but not quite up there, definitely deserved an honorable mention from me. At #4 we have Alina Baraz's first entry on my list "Say You Know". This song is so relaxing and it brings me such a nice atmosphere, but I definitely have to be in a mood for it. Starting the Top 3 honorable mentions we got the Chromatica and Positions chanteuses with their collab "Rain On Me". This definitely used to be higher in my Top 50, but it did NOT age well. Will they get more entries? Stay chuned. At #2 we got this massive gay bop "STUD" by Troye Sivan. It definitely took me some time to get used to the heavily produced drop, but I grew to love it. And the #1 honorable mention goes to "enemy" by Charli XCX! This is definitely my favorite song on the project, which was questionable, but this one is truly amazing, and missed the Top 50 just by one spot. And we kick off the main lists! I'll reveal #5 and #4 EPs of the Year, and tomorrow I'll reveal the Top 3 and begin with the albums and songs. Kicking things off we have LOONA with [12:00]! This year I got into k-pop for the first time and it was an amazing year for it. This EP has some excellent songs but some messy ITZY sounding ones that bring it down to #5 (yes that means Not Shy is N/A for me) At #4 we have Everglow's latest effort. Even though it is only 4 songs, it is amazing from start to finish, and it maybe would've been higher if it was longer.
