D/X Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Kinda surprised to see you kinda disliked Charli, but good to see her with Good Ones.
Lazuli Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 ah magdelena bay ofc can't go one thread without seeing praise for them!
Hug Posted December 21, 2021 Author Posted December 21, 2021 Replying to the besties...for the last time?! ? Yes, after November I will be posting my rankings for my overall top songs of the year (and how many times I personally streamed them as according to lfm) and that will be my Best Of completed! Thank you everyone for following my very odd Best Of full of whats, whos, and whys. Spoiler 22 hours ago, Sunderland 4ever said: Oh, now we're talking! 21 hours ago, Remmy said: Mercurial World -- Oh, now we're talking! [2] There's bigger bangers on the album though. Paranoid is alright, Every Night outsold || I do be liking Upper Side Dreamin', I do!! All very accurate Charli loves herself some autotune, it can get overboard at times for sure nnn. An inspiration If you're talking about Secrets (Your Fire) or You Lose!...I disagree sadly! Upper Side Dreamin' perhaps their best song idk idk others might disagree! The way I actually really like autotune, especially when it's copious and blatant. That's even more reason I should've liked her. Idk things just weren't clicking at the time. Perhaps it was when I realized she was the reason I hated "I Don't Care"...I just carried that hate with me for years. It's nice to let go! 17 hours ago, D/X said: Kinda surprised to see you kinda disliked Charli, but good to see her with Good Ones. I will support any queen that can write a good pop song, and I'm glad to find Charli, in fact, can! 6 hours ago, Lazuli said: ah magdelena bay ofc can't go one thread without seeing praise for them! I had to give people something to comment on, people grasp at straws every time they come in this thread that's why it's tanking! ?
Hug Posted December 21, 2021 Author Posted December 21, 2021 Western/English Spoiler Robin Packalen - Curtain Call (Spotify/YouTube) Genre: Pop / Atmosphere: Modern take on turn-of-the-millennium teen pop I discovered Robin through my Discover Weekly recommending his collab with SAAY, a K-Pop soloist who also happens to be a former member of EvoL. Small world! Still, I liked the song and was drawn to Robin's voice, so I looked into his discography a bit to find this wonderful gem. Any song that serves early 2000s pop, especially in the chorus, is an instant smash to me! I can just imagine this is like...Bring It On or one of those competitive dancing movies during the passive-aggressive cheering/dancing scenes, possibly during the rain. Love that for this song! Robin Packalen, Alex Mattson - Hard To Love (Spotify/YouTube) Genre: Pop / Atmosphere: Seems very typical somewhat funk-inspired pop to me hun Eastern/J/K/C-Pop Spoiler VERIVERY - Heart Attack (Spotify/YouTube) Genre: Pop / Atmosphere: WHO PRODUCED THIS SHIT? While most Western producers would have the decency to ease you into a song before hitting you with the dance break bridge, this song had the brilliant idea of taking that dance break bridge and opening the song with it! That doesn't mean there isn't a breakdown bridge, it's just a different dance break!! THEN THERE'S THE FUCKING KEY CHANGE. Girl, whoever made this LOVES their job. As a maximalist when it comes to production, this slayed me on first listen. TWICE - Espresso (Spotify/YouTube) Genre: Pop / Atmosphere: The best song on Formula of Love IKTR!! ONEUS - LUNA (Spotify/YouTube) Genre: Pop / Atmosphere: Traditional-inspired contemporary synthpop banger x So this would've been my MVOTY if I wasn't such a whore for gay concepts. The visuals of this Mv are SOOO good like ugh, you could pause this MV at any second and have a picture perfect for an aesthetic tumblr account. Of course, the song is great too! (Notable for being a K-Pop song with no English in it at all ?) TWICE - F.I.L.A (Fall in Love Again) (Spotify/YouTube) Genre: Pop / Atmosphere: It's more throwback pop, you know...the "in" sound! I suppose I'll take this spot to say I actually really enjoyed the majority of Formula of Love, but for one reason or another, I wasn't listening to music much by the time the album dropped. In a different month, I would've spun the shit out of it! Still, they netted two entries on my Year End, and as a former THRICE that's pretty good!! The After Party, which will be dedicated to end-of-year statistics, is coming up next. This will be goodbye y'all...!

Remmy Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 TWICE is one of the groups I've had on my list so I'll ignore those for now but guess what... I liked everything else! although "LUNA" has quite a lot going on kiii. Definitely gotta get into Robin since I already like the sound of 2 songs. Everything I knew or was interested in TANKED on the stats list except "Animal" This was a great Best Of overall And yesss we love commitment! Quote If you're talking about Secrets (Your Fire) or You Lose!...I disagree sadly! Upper Side Dreamin' perhaps their best song idk idk others might disagree! The way I actually really like autotune, especially when it's copious and blatant. That's even more reason I should've liked her. Idk things just weren't clicking at the time. Perhaps it was when I realized she was the reason I hated "I Don't Care"...I just carried that hate with me for years. It's nice to let go! Actually no! But they're up in the MW rankings of course Oop! And hold UP you mean Icona Pop's "I Love It"?? I love that motherfuckin song, I love it I love it I love it
Mr. Blue_Shirt Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Oh wow let me catch up a bit star-crossed (song) made me cry when i first heard it. The lyrics destroyed me and that's just the intro Yes Lee Hi getting her flower Her new album is so underrated, probably her best project she's ever released maybe leaving YG did wonder for her in terms of quality oop F.I.L.A is truly the Korean Levitating and should've release as the title track Honestly Good Ones aged like milk for me and Thunderous is peak Boygroup noise i fer nnn
Sunderland 4ever Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Congrats on finishing up your YECD. While I didn't know many songs here, I did notice the way your YECD was presented was unique compared to everyone else's.
K$Ellie Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 My Turn is a mess but it grew on me so much and seems like a very fitting soty for you Life Could Be Sweet was a bit of a moment in ASC Would You Mind is their only bop Magdalena Bay ahhhhhhh I wouldn't have picked Espresso of all songs on Twice's album, FILA is a much better choice
Lazuli Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 the twice stanning! they were serving kylie on FILA and slayed it. espresso is kinda cute too!
