Quote

27. The Killers ft. Phoebe Bridgers "Runaway Horses"
21. CHVRCHES ft. Robert Smith "How Not to Drown"

10. MUNA ft. Phoebe Bridgers "Silk Chiffon"
08. Shift K3Y ft. Tinashe "Love Line"
07. Taylor Swift ft. Phoebe Bridgers "Nothing New"
06. Swedish House Mafia ft. The Weeknd "Moth to a Flame"
01. Lady Gaga ft. Rina Sawayama & Clarence Clarity "Free Woman (Remix)"

One of my favorite colabs of the year 

--

i think Happier Than Ever is probably her best release so far and it highlight the lyrics and her vocals feels more confident imo but it defenitly kinda fail in terms of singles though since most of the singles sans NDA and the title track didn't scream *singles* to me

 

When You See Yourself, Flux, 30, IICHL IWP, An Evening evermore, 333 & Sob Rock  Also the huge acclaim for CHVRCHES & Aly & AJ  It's what they deserves!

+ My top 7 winners of 2021:
1. Aly & AJ (this duo snapped once again and FINALLY released another full LP, which got all

the appreciation it deserved & snatched the long-awaited AOTY title.)
2. Magdalena Bay (they got a nice amount of appearances in my Best of 2020 but that was truly

just the start for them, Mag Bay was featured all over the place and even won the most categories!)
3. ELIO (did super great with just an EP and 2 recent songs, only artist w/ more than one entry in my top 10 Best Singles.)
4. Taylor Swift (dominated Best Non-Singles with an incredible 11 entries, and even more On Deck!

Won the Music Video category for the 50,000th time due to lack of options nnn.)
5. Nick Jonas (the era was way too shortlived & he went under plenty of people's radars but

not mine! Got lots of love on Non-Singles and won that category as a cherry on top.)
6. CHVRCHES (scored plenty of top 5s, was pretty much on par with how they performed in my Best of 2018.)
7. Remi Wolf (checked out her 2 EPs in late April, enjoyed her debut album later on, and she had a solid 1st year

here! Especially in my Albums/Songs discovery categories. Maybe she can pull a Mag Bay and take over next time?)

THANK YOU!

Thanks to everyone that commented, supported and checked up on this year's ceremony It wasn't my strongest effort for several distracting reasons... plus the section was noticably quieter this year and overall I just wasn't 100% in the mood (which is why I rushed out Albums/Non-Singles/Singles way faster.) However, I still finished and had a generally good time so that's more important at the end of the day.

DEDICATED TO...

I mentioned her several times here so I might as well drop this little message at the end... unfortunately we had to put down my oldest dog (Casey, aka "Baby Bear") today. It was incredibly rough but now I'm just happy that her days of suffering from heart & aging issues are over. She was with us for an amazing 12.5 years, longer than most dogs from this breed, and she was a fighter 'til the very end.

 

 

[Legend E]

Can't believe it hasn't even been a full week yet, feels like it has been so much longer somehow... still definitely feels sad, and my other dog has been missing her a lot as well.
