94. Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am

I enjoyed this track.

 

Had no idea that Jason Mraz had released something new this year. I can't believe his new music still sounds uplifting after what's happened this year. :laugh:

Is it? Given the flack Ellie got for the singles released, I think the album is actually pretty underrated. Guess we have different perspective on it, and that's okay. :hug:

I know, his release came and went. I am a fan though so I was able to check him out.

 

Thanks for the comments everyone! Next update coming right up.

Top 100 Favorite Singles of 2020

 

90. Topic, A7S - Breaking Me

The first time I heard this, it was instant. I just love the hard beat and it goes well with the vocals. It has been a staple in my workout playlist since. I wish this could have been a huge hit, it's so much better than that Roses EDM song that was huge.

 

89. 24KGoldn, iann dior - Mood

I admit I wasn't really in love when I first heard of this, but the moment this song got bigger and bigger is also when I got addicted to it. It's a harmless fun song which is sometimes what we need in a busy day.

 

88. Why Don't We - Fallin' (Adrenaline)

This song is somehow the band's attempt to mimic 5 Seconds of Summer because I can totally see this song being performed by 5SOS. It's really good though, and I love these kind of songs. However, I felt like the band lost some authenticity, or maybe it's just me. I still prefer their 8 Letters sound. But hey, bands evolve so maybe good things will come from here.

 

87. Ellie Goulding - Power

A return to form, I think Ellie releasing this song is a good idea - it still sounds mainstream but also veins in her Halcyon days. I am also impressed with the lyrics, it's just outright powerful I think.

 

86. Lauv - Love Like That

Lauv's take on songs is really effective for me - there's just something soothing when he delivers a song. I can also relate to the lyrics so much, maybe that's why I am so affected by the song. Also a great song to play while cruising on my bike.

 

 

Top 30 Favorite Albums of 2020

 

26. Ariana Grande - Positions

Ariana-Grande-positions.jpg

Ariana's latest effort is not so impressive in my opinion, but it's still a good listen from start to finish. Not many albums released this year are great (or maybe I just haven't listened to a lot) and that includes a letdown from Ariana. However, I think the album has deep gems like POV and Off the Table but the singles somehow lacked something. I still enjoy Positions (song) but 34 + 35 is crappy and a poor try to sex up her image, in my opinion.

 

Favorite tracks: Off the Table, POV, Obvious, West Side

 

25. Trevor Daniel - Nicotine

trevor-daniel-nicotine-alamo-interscope.

So Trevor's a new name this year, and he's only recognized through the Falling track which soared early this year. However, I think this man is being slept on because his album is pretty good, compared to other releases this year. He has the ability to make you interested in an uninteresting melody, because I honestly find most melodies in this album non-existent. But I learned to like them, I don't know how to explain it.

 

Favorite tracks: Past Life, All of That, Nicotine, Disaster

Posted

Power is a great song :clap3:

Other than that most of this set I don't know or it's just okay tbh. Trevor Daniel was just... so easy to ignore despite having one of the biggest pop hits of the year :dies: like Falling honestly felt like such a non event

My bad, I meant in the Best Of section in general. And she deserved the hate for the singles :thing: 

 

Ironically, power is the best here :clap3: 

 

positions was okay

I agree though, Falling actually didn't make my top 100 because it's just so forgotten but it's not that bad.

Top 30 Favorite Albums of 2020

 

24. Hayley Williams - Petals for Armor

Hayley_Williams_-_Petals_for_Armor.png

Hayley's first album as a solo artist came upon us in 2020, and she did not disappoint! I am still a sucker for her Riot! and Brand New Eyes sound from Paramore but this album is definitely a mature showing from her. Glad this album was critically met too - just wished she have received some Grammy nominations for it.

 

Favorite tracks: Dead Horse, Simmer, Over Yet, Crystal Clear

 

23. JoJo - Good to Know

9d660c5bcca2ff7d2f303e890209f5e7.1000x10

JoJo definitely has one of the best voices from this generation - and this album showed that. I love that she keeps on churning this RnB train and it works for her vocals, and this sound is really her identity now. I wish she released the Lonely Hearts remix with Demi as a single because that is one hot track and I think it could have done wonders on radio.

 

Favorite tracks: Lonely Hearts (Remix), Comeback, Think About You, In Your Room

 

 

Top 100 Favorite Singles of 2020

 

85. Sam Hunt - Hard to Forget

Sam is definitely one of my favorite country artists, like ever. The way he delivers a song is so smooth and cool. The only setback for me with this song is the intro, but other than that, I enjoy this song so much.

 

84. Justin Bieber - Yummy

No matter how many people hate this, I still like it. :dies: Yes it's pretty basic, but it's addictive in my opinion, kinda like how Mood is. Sometimes people just hate the artist because there are so many hits out there that are worse than Yummy, but because Bieber sang this, it's getting a lot of hate.

 

83. Trevor Daniel - Past Life

I actually prefer the solo version, but the Selena version isn't that bad. It just took away the level of how it captures audience more when it's just Trevor all the way. And compared to Falling, I wish this became his hit. I know it's also pretty basic, but the chorus is just so good, the melody is nice.

 

82. Ava Max - Kings and Queens

I am honestly not a fan of this song when it first came out but when I heard it in The Voice Germany, I instantly got hooked with it. It's so good and captures her charm the same with Sweet But Psycho and So Am I from the previous years.

 

81. Hot Chelle Rae - Stay

I really missed this band because their album Whatever is such a fun pop record from a band that doesn't really take themselves that seriously. And with this song, they did it again with an emotional song but the music video is so hilarious (and definitely reducing the emotion of the song). But seriously, just listen to the song without the video, it's a great song.
