[Alldeezy]

don't disagree with any of those

 

though my partner likes drake so i learnt to not hate his music that much anymore :x but its still average. 

[Lazuli]

up doesnt desrve to be there  

[TheWayWeWere]

Up  

[BlackoutZone]

Ouch the worsts list hurts a bit! Agree with some, but Thot Shit was amazing and I have to say as much I dislike Bieber, Peaches was passable for him.

[JGibson]

Later tonight: The 2021 MLB review.

 

Arsenal are playing Sunderland in the EFL Cup today. Go Gunners!

[Legend E]

New album from Kelly, you wish king!

 

I don't mind the worst songs list 

[Sunderland 4ever]

Five Finger Death Punch

The fact that this band has ranked on both worst songs yet you include them on the to-watch artists tells me you haven't completely lost faith in them, haha.

[Sunderland 4ever]

Oh, right, the EFL Cup. Nvm, it was good while it lasted.

[KasioKas]

Peaches worst song? INteresting. Only heard it once, fell in love with a cover I found which I absolutely love by an upcoming new singer

[Spartak92]

Didn´t knew who was Bryson Gray so I googled him and... damn, what an asshole

 

If I make a worst songs of 2021, probably all ATRL members would hate me lol

[Moonlightbae]

I agree that Peaches does not belong in the worsts list  but the rest is pretty bad I guess!

Looking forward to a lot of releases next year! your list had most of them.

 On the potential albums list, a clear disclaimer message is listed as such: I am not a fan of every artist/band listed. 

[Green]

I like Up, Thot Shit and Peaches

 

But I agree about most of the other choices. What's Next is horrible. One of Drake's worst songs

[Tsareena]

up n thot shit sweeties
