Credit to the amazing @supaspazfor this graphic which, in its own way, encapsulates the beauty and chaos of the past year.

Β 

A year in which there was no real dominating force - 2021's biggest breakthrough artist is arguably for two generations max! 2021's most viral hitmaker also has serious... drawbacks! 2021's most dominant musical headliner generator - too much of a gimmick? I would let you decide... but you already did.Β 

Β 

A huge thank you to the voters who knowingly contributed:Β 

And a huge thank you to those who didn't even know about this! Hopefully you'll stick around.Β 

Β 

We'll be starting the the close calls - the ten or so songs that just missed the top 50.

I assume the first is Doja, but the second could be her, too?

If traitor made it into the list, it means probably all of her 3 singles will be in the top 50 as well

Sharon showing up by surprise during Angel's P4K set is one of my favorite 2021 memories.

Don't forget her best single, "Brutal." That's the one I voted for!
