Tinashegrande6 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Hello all, I've not done one of these before, so I thought I'd give it a go! I'll be doing my favourite 50 songs of the year and the 10 biggest disappointments of the year I was almost tempted to make my banner the UK Official Charts logo as that's the kind of vibe my list will be serving Expect a generous helping of UK pop with light sprinklings of R&B here and there. I'll try to write something for each song too as I have a lot of thoughts to share. Edited January 7, 2022 by Tinashegrande6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinashegrande6 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Best songs 50-46 "Crave" – Years and Years “How could you ever leave, when you know I would die for you?” Ok the video may have been weird, but this song really grew on me. After the disappointment of Starstruck I think I was determined to like whatever Olly put out next. The chorus is so haunting and hypnotic, I love the atmosphere. Spoiler "24/7" – AWA “It's a 24/7 kinda Heaven and we're praying for a little more time” I first encountered Awa when Mabel was living with her in lockdown during 2020. Their cringey try hard tiktoks made me block them both so I didn’t have to be subjected to another Carole Baskin dance. Anyway, since then it seems the pair have fallen out and don’t appear to follow each other on social media anymore. This came up on my discover weekly and it’s a cute UK R&B track, and high key better than anything Mabel has released in the past year, so who really won? Spoiler "Good Luck" – James Hype (feat. Pia Mia) “You can sail around the world and cross the seven seas, but you ain't ever gonna find someone like me” Dragging Mabel McVey is one of my favourite pastimes, so let’s continue shall we. According the super reliable (!) now banned ATRL panda, this song being dropped meant Mabel couldn’t release her single with the same name (which I imagine is rotting on someone’s hard drive along with the rest of the songs for her second album). It’s a very generic dance track with a “you’ll never find another me-e-e-e” message, but it hits the spot. Spoiler "Back Seat" – Saweetie (feat. Lourdiz) “I give a dose of that Britney, make it toxic” Talking about people struggling to release albums, Saweetie seems to have done everything this year apart from releasing her debut album, including, but not limited to: a McDonald’s brand deal, a panned Netflix sex education show and a collaborative EP. The EP was very hit and miss, and this was one of the better “hits”. Getting it on the back of some dirty car isn’t exactly my idea of a good time, but I imagine class isn’t something Dr Luke’s latest protégé Lourdiz is particularly well acquainted with. In fairness to her, the hook really carries this song as Saweetie stumbles about aimlessly on the verses. Spoiler "Body (Remix)" – Tion Wayne and Russ Millions (feat. featuring Bugzy Malone, Fivio Foreign, Darkoo, Buni, ArrDee, E1 and ZT) “Have you seen the state of her body? If I beat it I ain’t wearing a johnny” Is this a great song? Not really. But it holds a special place in my heart, as it was released around the time that restrictions started to be lifted in the UK. Also the meme value of the chorus and ArrDee’s verse were enough to warrant this song a space on my list. Shout out to Tion and Russ for teaching the UK locals how to say Adeola.

Tinashegrande6 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Best songs 45-41 "FFF" – Zara Larsson “Is this a story arc? Cos if it are, it'd be iconic” Poster Girl was a rushed demo’d mess but a few of the songs were highly enjoyable, this being one of them. The drop is a fun boogie moment and most of us have fallen for a friend or acquaintance at some point so it’s very #relatable Spoiler "Sister Ray" – Foxes “You know I've been dying to live like this” In 2015 I went to the Christmas Lights switch-on on Oxford Street in London and Foxes was one of the performers. Dear God, my poor ears. After that interesting experience I completely wrote her off until I was forced to listen to this song by some friends. Well I’m glad they did, because what a great song this is! No idea what on Earth it’s about (what's a sister ray???) but the production is almost euphoric. Spoiler "Violà" – Barbara Pravi “Parler leur de cette fille aux yeux noirs et de son rêve fou” Now I’m not the biggest Eurovision fan, I watch it purely for the comedic value and to cry at how terrible the UK entry is. France can normally be counted on to send someone even more dire than us…but not this year. Violà is a very simple ballad but Barbara’s delivery was so captivating that I was hooked from the first time I saw her performance. She’s #1 in my heart. Spoiler "A Second to Midnight" – Kylie Minogue and Years and Years “I wonder if you question why we left our fantasy behind?” Is this song…the perfect collab? The two of them work so well together and the song is just so much fun. The phrase “giving the gays everything they want” is thrown about a lot on ATRL, but this song truly is that to the letter. You could tell they really enjoyed making the video too. Spoiler "Go Girl" – Miraa May (feat. Raye) “We ain’t crying over no dick” After all of her label issues this year this song was a nice return to form for Raye. I’m not entirely sure who this Miraa May person is but her voice is so similar to Raye’s I could barely tell who was singing when. What can I say? I’m a sucker for a good female empowerment anthem.

Remmy Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Nice banner and graphics FFF's drop is kinda wonky but in a really cute way. I like Crave but Starstruck is easily the best single from this era... gonna dive deeper into his discography once the album drops. Sister Ray yesssss Kiii not the live performance shade, maybe she was having a bad night. I also don't know what a sister ray is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Blue_Shirt Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I love how much harted you have towards Mabel and the fact that you started to like AWA's music becuase of she no longer associated with Mabel i- I love it FFF & A Second to Midnight praise At first i didn't click with Kylie & Olly collab but it really grew on me especially during Disco re-release. They really did that wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWayWeWere Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Sister Ray is such a serve, one of the most enjoyable pop bops in a long time I kinda didn't expect a lot from ASTM, but it turned to be so great, loved it more than half of DISCO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackoutZone Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 So there is some serve, Sister Ray SOTY wbk Wish I liked Crave and ASTM more, I've been stanning Olly and after my initial hype died those new songs aren't hitting much (and yeah I count Kylie collab as his song, cause I believe it was originally a solo for his album, but when he invited Kylie for Starstruck she also took this one for Disco Guest List nn). They are cute bops tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
