I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh no
I don't need to be loved by you (By you)
Fire in my lungs, can't bite the devil on my tongue, oh no
I don't need to be loved by you
See my lips on her mouth, everybody's talkin' now, baby
Ooh, you know it's true (Yeah)
That I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh no
I don't need to be loved by you (By you)

 

 

 

Miley Cyrus, "Midnight Sky" (194)

Just went back to 2017's list - Jessie Ware didn't even make the close calls.

 

Who woulda thought that, three years later, she'd have three in the top fifteen/two in the top ten/one in the top five? Above Blinding Lights?!?!?

 

Go dance, kids - and do it well.

If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay in the moonlight
This is our time, in the spotlight
If only I could let you go
If only I could be alone
I just wanna stay in the moonlight
This is our time, in the spotlight (Why?)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)

 

 

 

Jessie Ware, "Spotlight" (207)

She almost killed her career with the last album. Yeah selfish love is good but everything was too AC and not even in a cheesy good way.

Midnight Sky. :clap3:

 

Spotlight deserved the win but Jessie's success in this list far surpassed my expectations! :clap3:

Jessie the Slayer :clap3:

Her latest album feels like a personal triumph for me for following her since 2012. The last two releases were not it, but I always knew she had it in her! :heart:

You want me, I want you baby

 

My sugarboo, I'm levitating 

 

The Milky Way, we're renegading 

 

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!

So who's number one - and who's number two?

And she still has Physical coming. The overrating continues. :rip:

Levitating is beyond overrated!

It’s already out!

Save a Kiss + Spotlight :heart:
Actually surprised to see WYP? at #10, definitely thought it'd be top 5. Wait same for XS actually... anyway both great bops
Can't get into C**di to save my life, sorry...
Savage is another big song that I think is just fine.
Blinding Lights & Midnight Sky back-to-back ahhh the servery is off the charts
Levitating okay she's a little too high but still great!

 

ROM vs. Physical, either one is an amazing winner but I'll have to root for Gaga since she was slightly higher on my list. I feel like Dua has it though.

Positions was number 22 babe.

 

But its' singer is present here....

 

I didn't ask for a free ride
I only asked you to show me a real good time
I never asked for the rainfall
At least I showed up, you showed me nothing at all

Rain on me is better in theory than in practice.

And she couldn't be caught.

 

From the first ballot, she was number one. Pretty sure this is the first time a non-US single has topped our year-end; when you see the point total, you'll get it!

 

Hold on just a little tighter
Come on, hold on, tell me if you're ready
Come on (Come on, come on)
Baby, keep on dancing
LET's GET PHYSICAL!
Hold on just a little tighter
Come on, hold on, tell me if you're ready
Come on (Come on, come on)
Baby, keep on dancing
LET's GET PHYSICAL!

Dua Lipa, "Physical" (354)

I don’t know why I wrote positions.  I meant physical.  :skull:   It really was that into you / RAW me type song that gays love.   I guess dua had a lot of other singles that people loved this year so the love for it was less prominent.  But it’s still there.
