best of TalkThatRihanna’s Best of 2020 | SOTY + Best & Worst Albums

[Mark Rih]

You better drag all those boring albums

 

Brightest Blue BORING indeed, she tried to go back to HD but failed

I 100% agree about Love Goes, I had such high expectations after the first 2 singles I like Kids Again tho

Little Mix never clicked completely for me, I liked some singles but always found their albums generic af and weak, Confetti was no difference

Smile was just there... used it for like a week. Tucked a bop tho

and Rare was probably the biggest disappointment, it's just so bland to me. To think she gave us Revival

 

curious about the top 5!

smile... rare... confetti... ma-

 

i mean confetti was ok, but holiday??? a bad track. ma- i cant 

I just saw Smile at #5 on your best list nnn. I was never into Holiday tbh it sounds from 2015

Apart from Sam and Eleanor who delivered underwhelming albums that still had some decent highlights, your worst list is dead on so far

 

Perched for Changes, Wonder, and whatever 6ix9ine released this year 

Sis you hit it right on the head  But lowkey forgot Shawn released an album or else it would’ve been here

Brightest Blue and Love Goes wyd sis, Young, Dance, and title track are all great tracks and they’re all in your worst

AH is a great choice for your #1 album though!

BB & LG aren’t terrible, I do use some of the tracks from both of them

idk madeon, but the other 4 slay!

 

let's*

 

Can we stop pretending Smile is a bad album already?  

 

the rest are awful, especially rare  

 

Get into Madeon sis! Who said we were pretending

Future Nostalgia. Yes.

 

Nice #1 album too. Blinding Lights is my favorite track.

Yes there’s too many good tracks to pick from

Love Goes doesn't deserve to be here  Brightest Blue could've been stronger but also shouldn't be here. I can understand the Smile hate but I can't really relate, there's only 2 ugly tracks imo. Meanwhile Rare has like, 4 or 5, while everything else isn't too bad  Fun definitely isn't great though! Champagne Problems, Only Love, For the Lover That I Lost, Dance, How Deep Is Too Deep in your least faves wtf

Love Goes isn’t terrible tbh, but I was so disappointed with it. Nnn I knew I was gonna get dragged for some of my picks

not you stanning Ellie's pop songs, but hating on Brightest Blue  

Sam album looks promising based on singles, but it was disappointing

I just don't understand atrl love for Little Girls Some of their songs are.. cute, but that's..it? 

both Katy and Selena disappoint me too, but Selena at least served some good bops (Fun included  )  Katy on the other side... feels like clownery  

I love a good generic pop tune nnn

 

Little Girls  That’s much better than what I was calling them -

The way Katy’s entire album cover described the music

Kids Again is cute, another Circles rip off  

 

And you better spill  Everything you wrote is just facts

 

Top 5 posted 

[TalkThatRihanna]

I’ll be listing the Top 3 best/least bad songs and the Top 5 Worst songs 

 

TOP 5 WORST ALBUMS

 

 

      5. Kehlani - It Was Good Until It Wasnt

Her mixtape last year ‘While We Wait’ was one of my favorite albums of last year so I had such high expectations for the “real album”. And I was left extremely disappointed. ‘While We Wait’ was a cohesive, 0 skips, R&B masterpiece. IWGUIW (what an ugly ass acronym nnn) is nothing close to the masterpiece she gave last year. It’s a disjointed mess.

 

Best Tracks:

Grieving

Change Your Life

Can I

 

Worst Tracks:

Toxic

Water

Bad News

Hate The Club

All those interludes 

 

 

 

4. Kesha  - High Road

I used to love her music so much during the Animal/Cannibal/Warrior days (you can probably guess why  ) But lately? Just no. I loved praying and Rainbow as an album was cute. But this album right here? Horrible. I don’t know what she was trying to do with it. The pop songs on here are dated and just simply bad.  And the acoustic/“experimental” songs are even worse. This is a CHORE to get through. 

 

Best Tracks:

Shadow

Father Daughter Dance

Little Bit of Love

 

Worst Tracks:

Raising Hell

My Own Dance

BFF 

Chasing Thunder

Cowboy Blues

 

 

 

3. Charli XCX - how i’m feeling now

I have to ask, what the hell is this? I genuinely tried to give it a listen, but this album is literally nothing more than noise. It sounds like she recorded herself banging pots and pans together and “sang” over it. There’s a difference between “experimental” and just straight up grating noise. This is the latter. Don’t drag me too hard for this

 

 

Best Tracks:

 

Worst Tracks:

Tracks 1-11

 

 

 

2. 6ix9ine - TattleTails

I mean we didn’t expect this to be good, but it’s just as bad as we thought. I do use 3 tracks off this though!
 

Best Tracks:

TROLLZ

GOOBA

Locked Up pt 2

 

Worst Tracks:

Literally the rest of the album

 

 

 

 

 

THE WORST ALBUM OF 2020:

                             .

                             .

                             .

 

 

1. Justin Bieber - Changes

And we have come to the WORST album of 2020! Congratulations Justin, you made an even worse album than 69! Purpose was one of the best pop albums last decade (even haters can admit). But this? THIS? There’s no words. The fact that he even had the nerve to say it’s R&B  The only good thing about this album was the Clever verse + outro on Forever.

 

Best Tracks

Clever’s verse on Forever

 

Worst Tracks:

The rest of the album

 

That wraps up all my lists! Thanks everyone for checking them out  I’ll still be perched in all of your lists  Hopefully 2021 gives us more amazing music, Cuz overall 2020 was a great year musically, and only musically

Agree with all except for Kehlegend! 'Toxic' is a certified bop and I can't wait to skulldrag you a tiny bit when it appears in my Top 20 songs 

 

I like pots and pans music sometimes but Charli is just way too committed to that particular sound it seems

I still can't believe Changes is a Grammy nominated album, lmfao. And his next project so far isn't looking any better - regardless of the improved GeePee reception.

Nnnnn

 

But you can’t possibly think that that album is better than the mixtape last year, right 

[Remmy]

I scrolled down too quick and thought this was Best Albums but after seeing **x**ne I was like yeah, there's no way  High Road is honestly overhated  and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Kesha stan. Cowboy Blues in the worst tracks  Wait have you heard Charli XCX albums before because noise is kinda her thing  But I think how i'm feeling now is better than her 2019 self-titled, a few songs in the middle could've been better. Your top 2... very well deserved that's for sure!  Great Best Of overall

[dreamofyou]

charli xcx ma- all the songs are so good

[Post Malone]

All of these are disgusting you spilled 

[Lazuli]

#1 and 2 are WELL deserved but i'm gonna ignore that i witnessed the BLASPHEMY of having high road and hifn in there

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

Love your taste! Gonna check out this thread later  @TalkThatRihanna

[Into The Void]

I cant believe someone listened to 6ix9ine in full 

[TheWayWeWere]

Kehlani album was questionable, but welp there's still some major bangers Grieving alone feels like discography highlight

 nnnn I just keep myself quiet on Charli one

Bieber released awful album ,but still got grammys noms, this is sending me so much

Grieving is so good  

 

The way the Grammy’s openly nominated that when it was a flop commercially & panned

Hmmm some interesting picks  but I love that 2 of them are from her best project, Number 1 Angel!

[TalkThatRihanna]

I just wanted to add that I finally heard What’s Your Pleasure for the first time yesterday and it has been on Rihpeat. So so good. It would’ve easily been in my Top 10 Best Albums of 2020 kicking folkborelore OUT

 

 

Oh well, guess I’ll have to add it to my 2021 Best Of

2. 6ix9ine - TattleTails

Damn. What the hell was that song?

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

Let me catch up a bit 

-----

 

Hardest to Love, Adore You, Magic, Angels Like You, Break My Heart, Do It, Savage Remix & Easy made it into the list 

 

Positions (song) is a grower i agree & Levitating - DaBaby remix is not that bad as people make it out to be YAS 

 

On 12/18/2020 at 7:37 PM, TalkThatRihanna said:

5. The Weeknd - Save Your Tears

      4. Taylor Swift- august

3. Dua Lipa - Physical

2. Miley Cyrus - Midnight Sky

        1. Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande - Rain On Me

 

This is such a great top 5 (yes even Rain On Me )

 

-----

 

After Hours, Future Nostalgia, Plastic Hearts and their critically acclaim  Truly the pop album of 2020!

 

Yeah i agree that Positions is kinda underwhelming compare to TU,N but some of the highlights are actually better than previous albums. I guess that's something lol

 

Folklore to me didn't sound the same but i get that people feel like that though ddd

 

-----

 

Love Goes slander  But yeah, they should've put more upbeat songs cause their previous songs are really good. But at least Diamonds & Kids Again are also good too 

 

Selena's Rare & Justin's Changes slander are always welcome

Diamonds & Kids Again I liked, it’s more of the other album duds I didn’t like

 

I always love to see that I’m not the only one who didn’t like Stale Rare

Yup she lost it  Which is a shame cuz the 2017 was looking to be her best yet with Bad Liar, It Aint Me, Fetish + Stained
