ELIO 'Can You Hear Me Now?'

Had I checked it before, it probably would have made my Top 10 EPs. My favorite track is @elio.irl

remeese showing taste by putting pale blue light first for WYP

shang chi  stan xu xialing!

Ranking: Pale Blue Light > Please = Eyes Closed > Hot N Heavy > Overtime > Impossible >>>> 0208

Omg I love 0208, it's so chill 

 

Btw have you seen the House of Gucci?

 

[Alex]

just watched the mitchells vs the machines and I would've never heard of it if it wasn't for your list so thanks boo! really good movie 

[Remmy]

Alright well upcoming vet and doctors visits (plus some other stuff) are stressing me out and having to do Best Of at the same time isn't really helping. Soooo for the first year ever, I'm throwing away my usual structure and rushing some of these lists out a bit faster & I'm gonna try saving some time by formatting posts even less.  Tonight's update will be what I was gonna do yesterday (On Deck for Best Singles+Non-Singles), tomorrow I'll do a big drop for all the remaining mini categories (after I see Spider-Man: No Way Home!), and then after that smaller categories will drop in full + Best Albums/Singles/Non-Singles will go significantly faster than normal. Still need to work on ranking a lot of these btw  Also I will continue commenting on threads because I'm a loyal bitch so don't worry.

CORRECT EP winner YUP *oprah gif* Knew you would stan 

Mess at the Fearless TV, I think I only liked Don't from new songs, but then again I was never a fan of her sound back then and this one sounds nothing like it  

 

The way I don't watch much movies so can never comment on these, but my fave this year was by far Dune and I don't see it there so flop x

Period

Inch resting

 

Meh, Dune has a great cast but it simply doesn't look like a movie I'd care for.

No Red TV though?

 

Soul is nice, even if it makes my five year old niece ask all sorts of questions about death and souls and the afterlife. Thanks, Disney.

 

Will be watching Shang Chi and The Mitchells soon!

It's over 30 minutes long even without ATW10MV, so you'll actually see it on Best Albums

 

asdifjid yeah I feel like so many people had to go through that

 

Get into ittt

I love Mike's Mic, his humor/personality meshes so well with mine, would love to be his friend  

 

Cruella being this year feels so strange to me, seems like so long ago I loved it though.

Right!

 

Interesting. That's understandable though, since a lot of movies kinda came & went real fast.

You're so mean! I don't deserve this i'm a good person 

All jokes a side it's a shame you didn't connect with it because it's the most accurate portrayal of depression i've heard and was very relateable

I'm shading JoJo, not you! Wait did I just discover JoJo's ATRL account???

 

I would say I'm gonna give it another try but I'm confident my opinion won't change nnn. At least I enjoyed December Baby!

come around is truly awful though, i can never listen to it, the rest are brilliant

Sometimes vocal effects like that turn me off but I feel like it was actually fitting for that song

and RINSE, yas! i had no idea he was hatchie's guitarist  loved the sound tho

 

and ELIO ofc  love that she claimed the top spot! your ranking of the tracks are a little off, but we'll look past that 

 

oop, i also got sucked into the streaming world of NoPixel for a minute. not familiar with Carmen tho! 

Yup  If Hatchie didn't collab with him + shout him out on Twitter then I would've never come across his music

 

 and kiii not another person saying that! I'm guessing several of you have @elio.irl higher.

 

She plays one of the most popular women on the server, Carmella!

Definitely agree about 0208 being the worst song on WYP but the Platinum Pleasure Edition deserved to be #1  

Well it's not, so what are you gonna do PUNK?

I low-key loved Fearless Vault tracks more that album itself  

 

I didn't expect a lot from Cruella, since Glenn is the best Cruella ever, but movie was great, I'm in love with fashion, fast-pacing and references to original series/movie  

Original/Platinum > Vault tracks > TV with no vault I'd say!

I also didn't expect much since Disney adaptations have been pretty bad so far. I knew Emma would deliver though.

Finally returned to theaters last week to see it... and I wasn't a fan  Gaga was great and carried it, the rest of the cast was good/fine, the movie itself was too long + uneventful.

AYYYY I love to hear that  Netflix definitely should've promoted it more... maybe if they didn't release 50 things per week. I'm sad to see that it's missing out on Best Animated Film nominations at so many award ceremonies, especially the Golden Globes

Oxytocin and Champagne Problems

not taylor having 11% of your top 100 ahhhh the talentry 

surprised to see male fantasy as your 2nd pick for billie when there's so many other songs on the album 

plastic doll remix is actually a bop

[TheWayWeWere]

Drop Dead  it's actually so good, very excited about her next album

POV deserved to be higher  

I really tried to love New Shapes, but it kinda goes nowhere  

[BlackoutZone]

[0 songs left] leaves me screaming FJKGS

 

These are all very middle of the row so fair placements! Heartbreak from BROODS is so good tho, but im sure our lists will have more tracks from the album next year

i've listened to peach PRC before, but not that song. lemme make note of it 

bad habits a guilty pleasure  new shapes + overdrive + don't freak. the aces are rather consistent for me 

serotonin + SOCIETY are among my favorites from their respective works 

 

star-crossed is a cute opener. small reminders didn't stand out to me from the album, but intrigued to see which of her other songs did better 

un millión not it being the only non-single of theirs to chart tho  oxytocin, the only song from her album i really liked 

when u saw love remix + need someone 

[Hug]

star-crossed should be higher... ? the good news is that the best song from evermore, tolerate it, isn't out yet (or it is and I can't read...?) so I will be perched to see where that and NBNC end up.

That's the only one I've heard from her  I think it's her most popular one?

I agree, actually! Shivers was a mess though. They are very consistent, although Don't Freak is their weakest single I'd say. At least it's just a droplet.

Interesting choices

 

Don't expect any of the R&B tracks, that's all I'll say

Well luckily it's not out yet! ...but that's because it was never in  Now as for nb,nc - that's on the way!

 

MINI CATEGORIES || PART III

 

 

BEST ALBUM COVER
Arca 'KicK iiii'

I don't listen to Arca (not my type of music) but all of the KicK's have incredible visuals. Turns out

this is apparently not a fan favorite but I'm a sucker for an album cover that looks super cinematic!

 

WORST ALBUM COVER
Lil Wayne & Rich the Kid 'Trust Fund Babies'

Random mixtape cover I stumbled upon while looking for something to "win" this category.

This is just a new level of lazy... my GOD.

 

 

BIGGEST GROWER (ALBUM)
Bleachers 'Take the Sadness Out of Satuday Night'

King Antonoff initially left me quite underwhelmed with this one. The singles were really great

while most album tracks simply didn't compare to the magic he created on the first 2 releases...

plus, "Big Life" is easily the worst Bleachers song thus far. Then after a while, my opinions

simply changed. Also, 'Gone Now' won this in 2017 and then ended up at #6 on the

Best Albums chart... can 'TTSOOSN' do something similar?

 

BIGGEST GROWER (SONG)
twenty one pilots "Shy Away"

I listened to this the first time and thought it was way too basic and forgettable. Then the album came

out a month & a half later and made me realize it's an addicting BOP! Also wanna shoutout

Caroline Polachek's "Bunny Is a Rider" because that kept getting stuck in my head out of nowhere.

 

 

BEST SOUNDTRACK SONG
FLETCHER "She Said"
from Love, Victor: Season 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLfgiamQTRs

 

BEST MUSIC VIDEO
Taylor Swift "All Too Well: The Short Film"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tollGa3S0o8

I barely watched any videos this year so I was gonna skip this category but I want to remain

consistent... so yeah, here is Taylor's 500th win! Congrats! A good time a lovely time a sad time
