personal countdown Ms Kuwa's HOT and SPICY Top 20: December 21st Update

[Kristie Kuwa]

hello, Hello, HELLO! MS Kuwa entered the building to join the franchise YTT. 

 

 

Every Saturday, you get to see my Top10 of the week. Mind you, my taste switches quite a bit, so expect high debuts and crazy chart runs. Every month, I'll post my monthly charts as well, which will probably give u a better impression of my listening behavior. I do have to point out Im a Beyonce stan, so oftentimes you'll see charts flooded with her. I've recently rekindled my love for Cowboy Carter, so my charts are currently full of these songs. Also, I tend to obsess with 1 or 2 songs every week and then I just have some very random songs filling out my Top 10. In general, my scrobbles of the last 30 or even 90 days would be more representative of what I listen to, but whatever lol. So bare with me, enjoy the ride and engulf yourself in true taste

Welcome to YTT  Surprised (but happy) to see people still joining after all the underappreciation

 

11/16~ Oh wow, COWBOY CARTER still dominating this far into the year  and there's even a sprinkle of Renny! Can't say I'm in love with every track here but II MOST WANTED is my fave (from CC) here. Although overall it's gotta be PURE/HONEY  JUST FOR FUN is lovely and underrated, rarely see anyone talk about it. Whiplash yuppp she's a bop, solid #1 for sure.

11/23~ We love a chart extension  The previous top 2 falling hard, oop. Sympathy Is a Knife has been a bop since day one, yup! Kitty Kat  Caught Up might be my fave from the new one, and out of the main singles it was always the one I connected to the most. Not into In My Bag as much. Nocturnal  The best album track imo. As for the whole album, it's not as strong as their excellent debut EP but it definitely takes off from Caught Up to the end. BOAF, DwaS, B2B, Do it, Less Than Zero, DiaR

Yeah, im late to the party because I wasnt even aware that YTT even existed before lol

 

I agree that AAA is a solid effort, but doesnt have too many standouts. The standouts it has are hitting tho!

 

Regarding Charli: Everything so romantic is my fav track of the album, and I've actually disliked Sympathy is a Knife for the longest. Sth changed tho last week for me, I dont know what exactly

Hello hello!

 

Charli has been so fascinating to follow for me this year. At first, I didnt get the hype of BRAT at all. It only started clicking mid summer, but once it clicked, I really started to enjoy the project. She ate that!

 

I kinda overplayed Whiplash a bit in the gym, tho I still like it!

Another week has passed full of movement in my Top 20. After their big debut last week, Flo couldn't really maintain their positions. We also see lots of mid tempo songs in high positions, which is clearly a result of the wintery and cozy days.

Out of Time is such a classic in my opinion. I wonder if its gonna have a moment like "Die For You" in the future. It truly deserves it imho

The Weeknd is always good for a random song resurging, and I do believe people will look back at DawnFm and find that songs such as OOT or Less Than Zero deserved more

[Kristie Kuwa]

In preparation for my Top25 in the entirety of November, I decided to share the Top3 of each month since March + my album of the month. That way, you once again get a better view into my listening behavior this year and it'll contextualize the November update more (well, if I was somebody who's listening to the same songs over and over again, which I clearly am not )
