[Touch It]

Ava Max - Dancing's Done: likeee my favorite on the album.. I didn't like the album. but.... this still may get points from me bc this is actually a cute nice song compared to the other songs on this album BWAHAHAHA

[Touch It]

Clean Bandit - Symphony: I'm sorry but NO.. NEXT!

[Julia Fox]

Long Live: I don’t like this Taylor tbh and this is no exception sorry 

[Touch It]

M.I.A. - Come Around: I went through so many emotions listening to this song. I started off not liking it too much and then like it hit. I understood it. Shortly after really getting it and eating it up... Timbaland decides to start rapping on it. COME ON MAN.... stick to making your production and give up this rapping career (idk if he ends up rapping in other songs in the future) anyways his verse ended and it got good again so overall I am a fan!!

[Touch It]

Lady Gaga - The Edge of Glory: this used to be my fav Gaga song - it's still very nice. I've always loved the outro with the sax!

[Touch It]

Charli XCX - Track 10: POP2 did not hit for me immediately but this song hit right away for me. It's still my favorite song from this project - it's so gorgeous and has super cool production. amazing pick <3

[Julia Fox]

How Long: saw her live last year and this song sounded amazing. Anyway it’s not my fave on here but might get some points maybe?

[Julia Fox]

Vogue: a classic and my possible #1… yes, and? whew

[Touch It]

Aaliyah - Rock The Boat: well YES first Aaliyah song I've ever heard and I was hooked immediately. still love it to this day!

[Julia Fox]

How To Be A Heartbreaker: dated in a complementary way. Still not enough to be on my top list but some points? Maybe… you all better pray because this group is stalled of classics x 

[Julia Fox]

hey you got drugs: one of my fave Tove songs. Such very dark, intense and superb. Love this sound for her! I remember I was so invested on this song on 2019 after a love triangle I was. Ugh. 

[Julia Fox]

Ever Again: this is so smooth and delicious ugh! queen did that 

[Julia Fox]

Help Me Lose My Mind: this was cute but that’s it. I don’t see it making on my ranks 

[Julia Fox]

Dancing's Done: this was a 911 rip off lol she really is so uninspired and basic. next

[Julia Fox]

Symphony: next 

[Julia Fox]

Come Around: whew what a crazy bop! love her… this becomes a little bit repetitive though but a bop is a bop! 

[Julia Fox]

The Edge Of Glory: cute song. very anthemic and iconic! 

[Julia Fox]

Track 10: saw her live performing this song and was a MOMENT. this is one of the best songs ever made. The way nobody is capable to do a pop song like that it’s beyond from another world. Love her! 

[Julia Fox]

Rock The Boat: this was very groovy and smooth but also very one note I fear. But like the vibes, yeah 

[Rotunda]

Thinking Bout You - This was probably my all time most played song before 2020. 

[Rotunda]

Keeping Holding On: I’m not that familiar with Avril tbh, but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard this before. It seems standard fare for her, but not bad at all. A cute submission.

Garden's Rates

 

Ariana Grande - Thinking Bout You - it's cute but it isn't memorable.
Avril Lavigne - Keep Holding On  - Oh why do I feel like I know who submitted this? It's a classssssic and just cured my seasonal depression 
Madonna - Take a Bow - This sounds like a great album closer! But it was kind of sounded like a lullaby. 
Kacey Musgraves - Rainbow - HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR UMBRELLLAAA!!!! Yes Kacey Musgraves, I can now survive. 
Kali Uchis - fue mejor (feat. SZA) - two icons! Sza speaking spanish is a choice. SZA, Kali and the production sounds nice. 
Beyonce - Check on It (feat. Bun B & Slim Thug) - a bop. i do a dance move from the music video all the time. an lovely danceable earworm. 
Ariana Grande - pov - I'm not sorry but I don't like this song. The melody has always been off for me. 
Doja Cat - Juicy (feat. Tyga) - Juicy slaps, the original slaps more but Tyga is cute. 
Mariah Carey - Fly Like a Bird  - HER COMEBACK. Yes this song is so groovy and a little jam. Her higher register sounds a little off in sections. 
Miley Cyrus - Slide Away - One more of the listenable songs that Miley has released recently!! 
Kygo - Lose Somebody (feat. OneRepublic) - I haven't heard of this song and I'm surprised that it only came out in 2020. The combination of these two artists feels like a time capsule from 2015. 
Janet Jackson - Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun) - This has the same issue for me as Madonna's Take a Bow. I feel like it sounds great as an album closer, but to me it doesn't stand out as track by itself. 
Lorde - Perfect Places  - This is pop music. Lorde created pop music. I think a great album closer.  
Beyonce - Summer Renaissance - Yes Summer Renaissance is nice but not one of my favorites from the album.  
Red Velvet - La Rouge - Special Track - It's a cute track, something I did not hate! They sounded nice but I don't see myself adding it to my own playlist. 
Pinkpantheress - Boys a liar pt. 2 (feat. Ice Spice) - yes bop. yes one of the songs of the year. i love ice spice. 
Beyonce - Formation - I was gagged when she performed at the superbowl. Love the hype that came with it, but it is not something i return to often. 
Adele - Someone Like You - a classic! i remember singing it when I was younger with no heartbreak to my name
Kylie Minogue - Story - okay, trying to not be biased but maybe I AM! I love Ms. Minogue and she is OUR pop girl. I love dance tunes. 

[Rotunda]

Take A Bow: There’s no reason for this song to be 5 minutes long. It’s nice enough otherwise. Also this album cover is horrible. 

[Rotunda]

Rainbow: This always makes my eyes water up a lil bit 

[poki]

 

This is so cute
