Had to look back at my Alessia album ratings to see if I cared for YLMD... it's in my bottom 3 oop

Troye has been on a roll ever since the WILD EP tbh  Angel Baby is another serve. He's a server, he loves to serve

Listen again sis, it’s amazing! And tea about Troye

Don’t worry, your song will be in my Top 20

 

[TalkThatRihanna]

25-21

 

 

      25. Maroon 5 f/ Megan Thee Stallion - Beautiful Mistakes

As generic as it gets but idc, I still heavily played it this year! It’s carelessly catchy, and Megan ATE. Too bad the album didn’t live up to this BOPt

 

 

      24. Giveon

- Heartbreak Anniversary

“Balloons are deflated... “ what an iconic opening Great R&B breakout smash.

 

 

 

23. Adele - To Be Loved

The best song on 30 and one of her best ballads. This really should’ve been the lead over EZ on Me. The bridge and final chorus alone >

 

 

 

22. Rita Ora x Imanbek f/ David Guetta & Gunna - Big

Ms. Ora did what needed to be DONE. It’s beyond catchy and honestly should’ve been bigger than it was. A risk, I fear 

 

 

 

  21. Lil Nas X - Sun Goes Down

Such a good pop song. The lyrics are great too and the chorus + post chorus are so catchy. It deserved Industry Baby’s success

[Reverse Warholian]

Might make a Best Of list after all to give these girlies a crash course in TASTE

 

 

@Walk_Away21 @The Witch

[Alex]

BIG.

Oop! Maybe I spoke too soon. One step forward, 30 steps back 

 

Wait until the LASHINGS on Rw's Top 21 of '21 

 

[Tinashegrande6]

Big and Heartbreak Anniversary yaaas 

[Ewan Chaos]

I hope Giveon has a huge and exciting proper debut album. The EP with Heartbreak Anniversary on it is so good and that song is great too. That Maroon 5 song was fine for their standards, from the one listen I gave it

 

Whew To Be Loved. The world wouldn't have been ready for a song like that to be her comeback.

[Moonlightbae]

To Be Loved is incredible and one of my faves on 30 but I don't think it's single material. 

Rita snapped on Big, no idea why the GP was sleeping on it 

[dreamofyou]

to be loved's vocals are amazing

 

big the best on bang with mood

[Post Malone]

Ahh Sacrihfice and BIGle

 

 

[JGibson]

Beautiful Mistakes

[Lazuli]

NO not that maroon 5 song i HATE that megan got involved with that  

heartbreak anniversary will always make me think of the tiktok meme and lowkey ruins it for me  

to be loved  

[TheWayWeWere]

I kinda missed everything M5 released this year  

To Be Loved is so heartbreaking

omg, BIG love  it's a major bop!

[BlackoutZone]

To Be Loved is a masterpiece, Sun Goes Down is really great even though I slept on it at first!

I see so much praise for the Rita EP, but I couldn't fully get into it. I appreciate she tried something different tho

[Brandon]

??? ???? ???? 

[Sunderland 4ever]

To Be Loved is so powerful.

Yeah his album was a disappointment tbh

 

I fear it would’ve been Hello 2.0 as the lead

Taste sis  It’s a shame she went back to the usual sound for her recent droplets. I wanted more deep EDM like BANG

It really is

 

[TalkThatRihanna]

20-16

 

 

 

      20. Joel Corry x  Jax Jones f/ Charli XCX & Saweetie- OUT OUT

The title of this song is still such a kii  Literally serving ATRL lingo. Anywho, the song is generic UK Radio garbage and I live for every second of it  The perfect workout song 

 

 

 

      19. Justin Bieber - Hold On

Jon Bellion snapped here  One of the best songs on Justice & should’ve been the lead single

 

 

 

18. Billie Eilish - Billie Bossa Nova

Her most mature & sentimental song. I instantly fell in love with this one when first hearing the album  Gives off such a throwback coffee shop vibe 

 

 

 

17. Summer Walker f/ SZA - No Love

This collaboration is everything I could’ve hoped for when I heard the Queen & Princess of R&B were collabing. The chorus is beyond catchy and SZA ate her verse. My only complaint is SZA shouldve sung the chorus as well

 

 

 

         16. Zara Larsson - Poster Girl

By far the best song on the album. How was it not the lead a single The chorus is straight ear candy and the song overall is just pop perfection

[BlackoutZone]

BIG spill with Poster Girl, it's such a good hook and it wasn't even a single at all

Billie and Summer picks my other faves here

[dreamofyou]

billie bossa nova top 3 of HTE

 

the vibes

[K$Ellie]

not Beautiful Mistakes and Sun Goes Down nnn, To Be Loved makes up for it tho

Poster Girl and Billie Bossa Nova are so good

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

Oh wow let me catch up real quick 

 

The Art of Starting Over, Bed, Rapstar, 4th Baby Mama, Sacrifice, Angel Baby, To Be Loved, Sun Goes Down, OUT OUT, Billie Bossa Nova, Poster Girl are all massive bops wow 

 

Until this day i've never get into Måneskin cover of Beggin' like, it's very X Factor type of cover and it's boring AF lmao stream the original cover Madcon version instead

[Remmy]

Beautiful Mistakes... interesting  It's not terrible, but yeah it's so sad to see how Maroon 5 have fallen HARD after V. To Be Loved + Billie Bossa Nova  Poster Girl is a bop for sure, honestly the whole era (in terms of single choices) needed a major overhaul.
