[Mr. Loco]

Agree Timeless is the perfect ending for Speak now TV... can't believe she choose to leave it out of the original 

 

The 40YO virgin is such a funny movie lol can't believe I watched it when it was released 

 

I really want to rewatch The iron giant as I don't remember it very well, but I think it's really a beautiful film 

[Legend E]

Hello legend!  

 

Maybe those albums you discovered this year should have remained undiscovered (sans Rebecca's EP) xoxo

 

WTMI rightfully winning the opening tracks chart  probably my fave song off Desire too!

 

TFG and Midnight Dreams and TIW slaying too!

 

Timeless  

 

we needed Skip This Part and That's Right in these charts tho

 

no Caroline/Dido/Grimes in the collabs list = flop list

[poki]

04. The Iron Giant (1999) [B+]
02. Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) [B+]
01. Megamind (2010) [A-]

It's really sad, the way the movie handles the concept of death 

It's written by the same guy who wrote Pixar's The Incredibles and it actually feels like those two movies are in the same universe.

[Kiss It Better]

Sleep When Dead  fellow Channel Tres listeners 

 

These Lips + Show Me The Money + Sometimes + Is It Over Now + Good Bye 

[K$Ellie]

the Billlie top 2 for discoveries  i got more into their minis as well and the one from this year slapped too!

Youha was robbed and Yukika  Caroline so high for openers and closers... oh she's coming

I hope Barbie Dreams makes an appearance on the main song list  

[TalkThatRihanna]

Cut stanning

 

Miracle, Fly Girl, and BAL great picks

[gagacasanova]

Taylor & Sweet Sounds of Heaven 

[ARTPØP]

Well that's a wrap! Hope you enjoyed

Honestly going into this Best Of season I was already not in a big mood to do it but I was still going to since it's an annual thing I enjoy. It's just that this time around I REALLY didn't feel like it.  Like there's still several lists I haven't ended up ranking. Maybe next time I can post full lists as a pre-show??? If there even is a next time????? We'll see  Tbh so far this year I'm kinda reevaluating how much time I want to spend listening to music as I've enjoyed filling my free time w/ other things during my YTT break. Speaking of which, my countdown will be returning so don't worry! Although there might be a significant change. Anyway thanks to all that commented & cared nnnn sorry for being a mess!

[JGibson]

Congrats on finishing up, Remmy. 

[Sanguine]

The lack of orders.... boring, yawning, sloppy, lazy

 

Lots of nice picks though, in both movies and music. Spider-Verse, Caroline, Chappell, UhOh (and ONLY that song!), NewJeans, Olivia, Rebecca, Carly, fromis
