TrueBlood Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone! This is year is the first I'm going to do this best of. We're going to have two main categories: - Top 100 Songs - Top 50 Albums (still not sure if it's going to be 50 or less) For both the singles and the albums, I'm using a mix of number of plays throughout the year and a personal ranking, so it's NOT just a list of what I played the most this year (even though it's mostly based on that). For the songs list I'm limiting myself to official singles. It would be impossible for me to rank also album tracks, and it would have a lot less of diversity. I'm gonna highlight my favourite overall tracks from an album in the albums list tho. Hope you'll enjoy my taste (which I already know is immaculate, but it would be nice to have validation from you) and I'll start immediately with a first list of 25 tracks who didn't make the top 100. Edited December 21, 2022 by TrueBlood

Sanguine Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 Beach House is soo overhated, total banger and grew into one of my faves on the album. Bussin, Chicken Teriyaki, Dominoes and Curious/Furious too
Polgg48 Posted December 9, 2022 Posted December 9, 2022 Metric - Doomscroller TR/ST - The Shore cupcakKe - H2Hoe
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 9, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted December 9, 2022 TRST and Cobrah deserved main list! I really liked Doomscroller but it did t have staying value for me. Love that they’re still trying new things, though.
TheWayWeWere Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 Beach House is so catchy and fun I can't stop listen to it nice to see Willow and Lykke here both deserved main list tho Sweetest Pie was little trashy
Remmy Posted December 11, 2022 Posted December 11, 2022 Surprise, Sweetest Pie, Bussin & Fair are alright, all of those artists have better songs so I'm not too disappointed to see them in HMs. Late Night Talking + Mushroom Punch Beach House was such a grower for me, even the bridge with all those ugly men is listenable! Ready to see more
Mr. Blue_Shirt Posted December 11, 2022 Posted December 11, 2022 Surprise, Late Night Talking, Star Walkin', Sweetest Pie are such bops The way Willow's solo music this year is one of the best she's ever done but all of her collabs this year are straight up dookie We love duality! Beach House is still not it for me but at least she was having fun with it
BlackoutZone Posted December 12, 2022 Posted December 12, 2022 Realistically none of those deserved the main list, but they are cute enough to be mentioned indeed

Bussin, Chicken Teriyaki, Dominoes and Curious/Furious too I agree with you, it's definitely too overhated. It's a quirky type of pop music only Carly is able to pull it off. But I agree with the general consensus that it's the weakest single she released this year. On 12/9/2022 at 11:52 AM, dreamofyou said: mushroom punch such a slay The whole album is quite a slay tbh.
