Thank you both, hopefully my taste wont be too tragic. I’ll be perched in your threads as well

[Sunderland 4ever]

Welcome to the BO section.

[Post Malone]

Perched king, Post better SWEEP

 

[TalkThatRihanna]

Bubbling under

 

 

Allie X f/ Troye Sivan - Love Me Wrong

I don’t know much about her but I found this bop on Spotify and loved it. Her voice reminds me of Lana and the way the 2nd chorus explodes

 

 

 

Billie Eilish - My Future

This songs really deserved better. It was a nice change of sound for her and love the switch up in the 2nd verse.

 

 

 

BENEE - Glitter

I found this alternative bop before Supalonely blew up, but if you liked that song you’ll probably like this as well.

 

 

 

Rita Ora - How To Be Lonely

I stan Rita so I’ll include this song even though it wasn’t it for me 

 

 

 

Justin Bieber f/ Post Malone & Clever - Forever

One of the few good songs on that trash of an album. And we can thank Clever for that, his verse & outro is SO good  He deserves to break out. Post’s verse is cute too

 

 

 

Ava Max - Born to the Night

One of my favorites on Heaven & Hell, love a good sample. 

 

 

 

Halsey - Still Learning

We love a generic Ed Sheeran penned bop. Should’ve been THE single over Be Kind but alas.

 

 

 

Madison Beer - Selfish

Probably the only song of hers I really like. She actually has an identity on it and the song is beautiful.

I’m only including songs released in 2020/discovered in 2020. If I were including 2019 songs, songs from HB would’ve been 1/5 of my entire list

Still Learning whew my favorite from Manic

I'll admit I used my future a bit back then nn

and HTBL deserves wbk

[TheWayWeWere]

My Future was cute... for a minute  

How to be Lonely is a guilty pleasure for me  

[potent]

Glitter is better than Supalonely tbh! She kinda snapped on that EP

[Psycho]

Born to the Night  it's very high on my list but at least it got a mention on yours

I fear all her other projects are superior

listen to Super Sunset if you haven't already

 

 

[Into The Void]

I see some qlbums and singles mentioned in various best of and I'm like oh i didn't know they released an album 

[madonnas]

my fave from this set is my future.  the allie/madison songs are alright but they have better options this year.  hopefully thats why they're bubbling under! 

[Macchi]

You are serving taste so far!

The whole bubbling under list is basically a vibe playlist. I wonder if other madison beer songs will make an appearance though

[TalkThatRihanna]

50-46

 

 

50.  BLACKPINK f/ Cardi B - Bet You Wanna

No, I don’t think this song is one of the bests of the year (or even BLACKPINK’s best), but something  about the song is so addicting. It has to be Rosé’s ad libs and high notes in the final chorus

 

 

 

49. Surf Mesa f/ Emilee - ily (I love you baby)

We love a good generic, payola’d streaming hit 

 

 

 

48. Griff - Forgive Myself

This song isn’t too groundbreaking or anything, but it’s a cute pop bop I’ve enjoyed which sounds like a good upbeat Julia Michaels song.
 

 

 

47. James Bay - Chew On My Heart

Ever wonder what it would sound like if Shawn Mendes made a good song? Well here it is  It’s a nice upbeat breezy Spring bop which should’ve been a hit

 

 

 

46. Cardi B f/ Megan Thee Stallion - WAP

An EVENT. An organic #1 which is difficult to get.  Megan ATE on her verses. I played this a ton during its first month of being out, but haven’t played it that much afterwards
