TalkThatRihanna Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) TOP 10 BEGINS! 10. Olivia Rodrigo - deja vu Her best song without a doubt. It aged like fine wine and deserved to have DL’s success. It’s the perfect mix between pop and alternative. I fear it was too ahead of its time 9. WILLOW f/ Travis Barker - transparent soul Now THIS deserved to have Good 4 U’s success and I think it’s time we have that conversation. It sounds like a pop-rock song from the 2000s in the best way possible. The energy, the guitar, the long notes in the chorus, the bridge... TABS 8. Silk Sonic - Smokin Out The Window This song is pure qualiTEA The comedy in the verses is cute but it’s the chorus that still has me shook It sounds like a classic on arrival. The melodies, the harmonies, the background vocals... By far the best song on the album 7. Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever Now this wasn’t one of my most played songs of the year, but since my list also factors in quality I had to include it. Billie switched it up in the best way possible. The Edit of this is trash tbh. It needed the first part of the song to appreciate the shock of the 2nd half 6. Marshmello & Jonas Brothers - Leave Before You Love Me The best song in each of these artist’s discography The way it stole from Last Christmas and still sounds amazing It’s the type of throwback pop I love, and the chorus is just pure gold Edited December 20, 2021 by TalkThatRihanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWayWeWere Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Happier Than Ever is truly her best song ever can't get enough of it Deja Vu my favorite from SOUR Willow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunderland 4ever Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Damn second YECD in a row where I see deja vu in the Top 10. I kind of saw Olivia's success coming in many ATRL YECDs. Well-deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remmy Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I'm not even a JoBros stan but LBYLM... the best song in their discography??? Hm. Wish I enjoyed Olivia and WILLOW's music more, but I easily prefer t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l out of those 2. Ahhh Smokin Out the Window + Happier Than Ever My faves from both albums! Quote I need to listen to M5’s 3 mixtapes. I only listened to the pop albums nn Now hold up, M5's mixtape ers started w/ Red Pill Blues (2017) not at the beginning of their career!

TalkThatRihanna Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 FINAL ROUND! TOP 5 OF 2021 5. Justin Bieber f/ Giveon & Daniel Caesar - Peaches Y’all can hate him all you want but this song is a BOP. On my first listenque I loved it. The chorus is so catchy and Giveon & Daniel gave the spice that the song needed 4. Lil Nas X - MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name) [Satan’s Extended Version] Yes, I’m talking about the amazing extended version Even though it’s only like 30 seconds longer, it just adds what the original lacks. The original is a perfect example of a song being less good to appeal for streaming. This is the perfect pop song. Hook after hook after hook. The 1-2-3 punch of the pre-chorus, chorus, and post chorus . 3. Doja Cat - Need To Know Ms. Cat snapped hard here. Her best solo song ever. The production is so crisp. Her singing, her rapping, her sultry moments... This was the obvious 2nd single choice 2. Doja Cat f/ SZA - Kiss Me More Another perfect pop song I was obsessed with this on first listen, and still love it now. Aged like fine wine. The intro is gorgeous, the double chorus is incredibly catchy (and the sample ), SZA’s verse ATE as usual. And when she adds her little ad libs and flare in the final chorus The “oh darlinggg...” One of my most played songs of the year. I love it and would play it again, and again, and again, and again. AND THE #1 SONG OF 2021: . . . 1. SZA - Good Days By far my post played song of the year, and also the best song if we’re talking about quality. It came out at the perfect time. The world needed this song when it was released in December 2020. The lyrics are beautiful, the unconventional verses, the pre-chorus, the chorus with Jacob’s background vocals, the bridge, the uncertainty in the outro SZA will never top this song, I fear. A timeless classique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Rih Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Ok let's see 50. Rauw Alejandro - Todo De Ti love to see this 46. Latto - Big Energy I discovered this two weeks ago but it's such a BOP, would've been a #1 with miss Doja on it 40. Anne Marie x KSI x Digital Farm Animals - Dont Play Lovely UK bop. Left it out of my list but it actually was in my most listened top 50 39. Demi Lovato - The Art of Starting Over heard this at the Mall today a cute bop, maybe it deserved better 35. Maneskin - Beggin Yes italian excellence 27. BeBe Rexha - Sacrifice Ended Chromatica 25. Maroon 5 f/ Megan Thee Stallion - Beautiful Mistaked Generic perfection yes 22. Rita Ora x Imanbek f/ David Guetta & Gunna - Big Rita didn't do it for me this year she peaked in 2018 I fear 14. Halsey - honey I kinda slept on this because it's good but I simply forgot about it, definitely the best on that boring album. Ngl she let me down this year 12. Kanye West - Hurricane The best song on DONDA indeed and yes Abel deserved his credit 11. Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits Cute bop indeed. I kinda hate how now that I like his music he became less successful Amazing picks for the top 10 I like every song, you know already which are my faves! Quote It came out at the perfect time. The world needed this song when it was released in December 2020. Exactly Anyway a great countdown but we're not surprised see you in 2022 with Shirt as the #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
