Ugh, not sure if I'll have time this year! Am conserving my energy and talent for my hotly anticipated sophomore horror rate next month

 

There better be a minimum of two Halsey tracks on your list and IICHLIWP Top 5

Edited December 11, 2021 by Reverse Warholian

[TalkThatRihanna]

Bubbling Under

 

 

Selena Gomez - De Una Vez

The only song I liked on that EP tbh

 

 

Billie Eilish - Getting Older

 This song is so underrated on the album. The instrumental is hypnotizing and the lyrics are great

 

Lorde - Mood Ring

Literally the only listenable thing on that TRASH album! It sounds like a song from the early 00s

 

 

Halsey - Girl is a Gun

This should’ve been the lead on the album  It’s such a fun, catchy bop! We needed more songs like this on the album @Reverse Warholian

 

 

 

Majid Jordan f/ Drake - Stars Align

A POP bop! This is what I’ve been missing from Drake. Sounds like a Views track. We had no choice but to stan

 

Porter Robinson - Look at the Sky

I love this type of chill EDM. He reminds me so much of Madeon

 

 

Alessia Cara - Bluebird

Alessia really surprised me on this album. I’m a sucker for songs with a throwback Bossa Nova feel and this song gives me just that

           Post Malone & The Weeknd - One Right Now

I can’t lie - my good sis @Post Malonehas been disappointing me lately with his music. This song is a total bop but I do want a more rock direction for him

Edited December 11, 2021 by TalkThatRihanna

[dreamofyou]

naur not you slating solar power too, but the mood ring stanning yes!

 

girl is a gun, de una vez & getting older

 

also bluebird is excellent. that 'so i let you, so i let you go, i let you, so i let you...' makes me feel some sorta way

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

Getting Older & Girl is a Gun 

 

Mood Ring is one of the standout from the album. Serving pop girls upbeat acoustic-pop singles in early 2000s 

 

I haven't listen to Post's new singles this year  Not even Abel himself make me interested it in i-

[Reverse Warholian]

GIAG deserved better but I'll reserve the lashings until your full Top 50 is revealed 

[worldwide angel]

coming out the gate swinging omg

 

de una vez, getting older and mood ring 

[MP2K]

Mood Ring

 

Majid and Alessia songs I'll be checking out. never got to them.

[Alldeezy]

Halsey, Selena, Lorde & Post:

[Post Malone]

Not Selena being over already

And drag the NOtley Cwho singer

[Alex]

all these great songs 

besides Porter, haven’t heard that one.
