I feel like Hayley's solo album arrived to little fanfare and came about seven years too late () but it's still a fabulous body of work even though I don't use it that often. 'Crystal Clear' is nice too, but I run a tight ship and only budgeted one slot on my list for The Crimson Curse!

Maybe I’ll give her a Listinque

 

As for the guesses, the Nikey one is Do It by CxH, the guy sleeping is In a Dream by Troye, and the Sky is Midnight Sky

Thanks bb. Each photo represents an upcoming song! I think the final one might be kinda hard for the Gen Z girls.

 

@JGibson wanna take a stab at it?

I find it cute that y'all keep guessing 'Levitating' 

 

I can see why folks are guessing it based on the photo but you'll soon see it's much more straightforward than that 

 

Spoiler

That's a wrap for Present Payola entries on my countdown btw! 'Don't Start Now', 'Physical', and 'Hallucinate' were my three picks coming in at #72, #57, and #22 respectively. 

 

All will come to light shortly

Nnn it’s probably a song I don’t know. But the Do It one for CxH was clever I admit 

[Lazuli]

i guess the last one is savage?  

 

[TheWayWeWere]

Bad Friend getting acclaim one of my favorite pop songs of the year

Kyoto

#20. 'Dreams', Fleetwood Mac

 

Can't believe no one got this! Now under usual circumstances, I would refrain from including a much older song on a YE countdown but the viral resurgence + newfound relevance this song gained in 2020 forced me to make an exception. We love to see (and hear) it!

#19. 'Forget Me Too', Machine Gun Kelly feat. Halsey

 

Serving 2009 Warped Tour pop-punk excellence and their chemistry on the track is undeniable. Halsey comes in like a bat out of hell on her verse and sounds surprisingly good on those higher notes. What a THRASHER. 

 

 

Btw - if anyone was a little perplexed by the clue, those are forget-me-not flowers 

 

 

 

[Reverse Warholian]

#18. 'Do It', Chloe x Halle

 

While there are technically better tracks on Grammy Hour, I use this one and maybe 'Forgive Me' the most. The production is just so clean and fun. This is like the perfect getting ready for a girls night out / pre-drinking while trying on different outfits song  

 

If this were an Ariana song, it would've been an insta Top 5 Billboard Hot 100 smash, had 2385405358324 streams by now, and lyrics be featured as a caption in like every white gay's IG bio, which is depressing to think about bc she's just not doing it like Chloe x Halle, Jhené, and a handful of these other girls. Someone needs to tell the excuse me, i love you? songstress that rnb / hip hop is NOT her lane and never will be. @Rei @Walk_Away21

#17. 'Midnight Sky', Miley Cyrus

 

I thought it was just alright on first listen, but man did I switch like a f-word! Perfect example of the persuasive qualities physical / traditional promo has. As I watched new performances online and heard this more on the radio here, I was able to latch onto and pick out really interesting and very cool production details that I maybe missed during my initial listens and just really appreciate the g o r g e o u s dance-rock aesthetics of the song. Favorite Miley single in ages and deserved A LOT more in the US.

Savage Remix? 

#16. 'Savage', Megan Thee Stallion feat. Beyoncé

 

I liked the original solo version quite a bit, but I immediately knew it was OVER for the other girls once this remix was released. Unlike previous times in history, Beyoncé's melodic rap vocals actually serve a purpose here and are pleasant sounding to the ears? Lol. Props to the producer for actually integrating Beyoncé into the song so it feels like a proper collaboration and not just some quick lil rent-a-verse tacked onto the original with an ugly instrumental change. We love a remix that elevates the status of the original! 

 

^^Btw for the Gen Z girls, that's Australian pop duo Savage Garden in the photo clue above. Their debut era was really big in the mid-late 90s lol. @rihannabiggestfan

Omg you spilled so hard in the bold. Ariana would’ve sent this #1 for 10+ weeks  It’s such a good song
