Petals for Armor is cute! Over Yet is such a bop :katie2:

Hard to Forget is cute, not really the type of music I listen to but it's good!

I used to love HCR way back then during my pop punk days :dies:

Petals For Armor so good yup yup yup. Yeah I would have loved her to get some of the Rock noms that Phoebe ended up getting, but ah well.

She deserves, but yeah, Grammys are so random nowadays.

Indeed a great bop! Hard to Forget is such a cool song, but yeah it might not be for everyone.

Hell yeah Hot Chelle Rae was good back in the day.

Top 30 Favorite Albums of 2020

 

22. Kygo - Golden Hour

Kygo_-_Golden_Hour.png

Kygo is one of those EDM producers/DJs that I really adore even though some of his beats are too generic. With this album, I find that the songs are pretty much flowing perfectly with each other and that Kygo sound is just magic to my ears.

 

Favorite tracks: Hurting, Lose Somebody, I'll Wait, How Would I Know

 

21. Justin Bieber - Changes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changes_(Justin_Bieber_album)#/media/File:Justin_Bieber_-_Changes.png

By now you must have realized that I'm a big Bieber fan, so apologies for those annoyed by him. I admit that this album is not as strong as Purpose BUT despite the messy trap beats, Bieber's vocals haven't been better than this album, and that's what made me like this. Plus, I actually think the songwriting here is brilliant, even the production. It's just difficult to digest because most of the songs have the same production structure, which sucks because it could have been so much better with a little bit of diversity. Still, I enjoyed it (more so than a lot of pop albums this year).

 

Favorite tracks: Forever, Intentions, Changes, Habitual, Get Me

 

Top 100 Favorite Singles of 2020

 

80. Charlie Puth - Girlfriend

Charlie unleased his "supposed-to-be" lead and it is a funky track that veins in the same root of Voicenotes. While I do enjoy his "Voicenotes" production, I think he should have continued with I Warned Myself or Cheating on You type of songs. Still, this is a big bop.

 

79. Ariana Grande - Positions

Ariana's lead is a step back from what she released in Sweetener (and TUN, except 7 rings because that song is shite), but it's still pop candy and the vocals are just too good to ignore it. I do wish I could hear another Thank U Next, or Breathin', next time.

 

78. Taylor Swift - The Man

The Man is such a generic bop but it's a bop from Ms. Swift that is so catchy the haters should just shut up. Plus the video is amazing.

 

77. Will Ferrell and My Marianne - Husavik (My Hometown)

First of all, this movie is so funny you should all watch it. Demi's a mess there too, so go watch it. Also, it carries this song which is monumental to the film's climax. I love how Rachel McAdams was able to lip-sync really well because it really looks like she's the one singing! Plus the song is so special because it's an ode to a hometown, and I love how the local language of Iceloand was incorporated in the song. Respect to the songwriters and composers, it's just really beautiful. And that last note!!!

 

76. Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa - Prisoner

This power duo is so unexpected but they made the song work! Of course Miley outsang Dua but they just blend well and the song is fire! Hope it could be a hit for them.

Prisoner :clap3: Yeah Girlfriend is actually cute. I really liked half of the songs on Voicenotes and HATED the other half so I hope he keeps putting out super funky bops.

The best part of that Kygo album is the Kim Petras collab "Broken Glass." So good.

Top 30 Favorite Albums of 2020

 

20. Lauv - How I'm Feeling

819OK+MQtZL._SS500_.jpg

Lauv released his second album (they say it's his debut but I consider his "I Met You When I was 18" playlist as an album) which offered growth over his "playlist" album. He used more instruments and experimentation in this album which I think is pretty cool and gave him more of a brand despite most people saying his music is just fodder on random playlists. I love how the songs still sound very minimalistic despite upping up his production.

 

Favorite tracks: Lonely Eyes, Mean It, Changes, Julia, Invisible Things

 

19. Mandy Moore - Silver Landings

Silver%20Landings_Mandy%20Moore.jpg

Mandy released a new album this year after a very long hiatus, and it marked a more mature sound than her previous albums (and both Amanda Leigh/Wild Hope both have mature content). What I like about Mandy's music is its authenticity, and she may not have a high range vocally, but she for sure sings really emotive and the songs are simple yet deep, and they connect. I can definitely listen to a Mandy album every time I feel lazy or blue on a rainy day.

 

Favorite tracks: Silver Landings, Save a Little for Yourself, Fifteen, Stories Reminding Myself of Me

 

Top 100 Favorite Singles of 2020

 

75. Harry Styles - Golden

Harry has had a golden (yes pun intended) year, and this is the first of four HS tracks in my best of. Lovely track, I hope it can be as big as Watermelon Sugar or Adore You.

 

74. Calvin Harris, The Weeknd - Over Now

I was hoping this could be the follow-up hit to The Weeknd's Blinding Lights, but it didn't happen. This song totally fell under the radar but not on my watch! it's so good! I adore this type of production from Calvin - he did it before with Feels and now he did it again with Over Now. Amazing.

 

73. Jake Scott - Like No One Does

No one in ATRL probably knows Jake Scott - but if you give him a chance, he's vocals are very good, and his songs are fire. This is such a good bop that I got addicted to it during quarantine days.

 

72. Lauren Alaina, Lukas Graham - What Do You Think Of?

A surprising duet from these two artists? YES! And it's perfection! Lukas' voice is really HIGH, but Lauren was able to complement her rich vocals with Lukas' tone. The bridge when their voices just got higher and higher is amazing.

 

71. We the Kings - These Nights

 

Pop-rock at its finest! Love the lyrics too, I can totally relate. I really hope this kind of music can chart again in the Hot 100.
