Rain on me is better in theory than in practice.  
 

 

I... concur. It wants to be the big room sound of the late 90s/early aughts, but doesn't go the full Hex Hector/Thunderpuss. Shame!

An 110 point lead  wasn’t close

Oh oops, guess i missed it because it was on the bottom of the page  But that's good because it's better than Watermelon Sugar which also made the list.

[Ace Reject]

Now, if y'all haven't already, kindly send your ballots in for the ATRL Top 50 of 2018 - which will be taking place in Base.

 

Let's see if Dua can actively/retroactively win again! I can't be the only one who loves One Kiss/Electricity a lot more now than I did then!

[Stevie]

Holy ****. 354!?

 

Funnily enough, Levitating also placed third in This Was 2020. Always a bridesmaid I guess!

 

This list was way more diverse and interesting than any other previous one I remember. Thanks Ace for hosting!

Slay at Dua winning 2019 and 2020! Only the new queen of pop. Guess we're gonna have to do some riggery for "Electricity" to top the 2018 list now.

TOTALLY thought Do It would be top 10 damn

 

I ****ING KNEW BLINDING LIGHTS WOULD BE #6 AGAIN LMAO kinda love it.

 

Jessie's singles being top 11  Queen of everything. Physical winning is talent even if people suddenly seem to think it's overrated xo

 

Not surprised at how most of this turned out and not really mad either! Bit of snubbery going on with Hayley Williams and RTJ but hey, I'll take what I can get on GayTRL.

 

Thanks as always Ace!

[potent]

The top 5 would have been perfect without Miley (especially since she blocked my #1 lol)

Jessie doing great though as expected

Compared to my top 20:

 

1) Dua Lipa- Levitating

2) Rina Sawayama- XS

3) Jessie Ware- What's You Pleasure?

4) The Weeknd- Faith*

5) Yves Tumor- Gospel For a New Century

6) Chloe x Halle- Do It

7) Omar Apollo- Stayback

8) Robyn, Channel Tres, SG Lewis- Impact

9) Gabriel Garzon Montano- Tombs

10) Moses Sumney- In Bloom

11) Thundercat (feat. Steve Lacy and Steve Arlington)- Black Qualls

12) Victoria Monet, Khalid, SG Lewis- Experience
