[Mr. Loco]

Taylor x2 and Sam not doing well this week 

Wanted & DCMA should make it into the main list next week 

[LCTV]

10/30 :

[T.O.A.D.S.]

Doin Time highkey flopping  

[Green]

I liked Graveyard. I hope it debuts

 

Not a big fan of "Don't Call Me Angel" to be honest

[potent]

Haven't listened to the new John Mayer, but somehow I don't think it will be that interesting...

Good As Hell and In Degrees out  although I guess the latter had a good run

[Pinkoverblue]

11/25

 

Sad to see Lizzo dropping out already. At Least Charli got a decent debut. Hopefully Don't Call Me Angel and Graveyard get the next debuts.

[Kevin2803]

Normani climbing 

 

Ari & Halsey on the pre-debut list

 

Nina's new single isn't that strong. But it's cute, i guess.

[Remmy]

Hailee has a song called Afterlife AND a song called Back to Life? She really likes dead stuff  

 

Good Things Fall Apart just grew on me. Very late. Lol

Yeah I caught the connection as well  Though BTL was for a movie and Afterlife is for a show so I wonder how much involvement she had in those concepts

 

Hmmm just a bit  About 5 months! Now get it on your countdown

Sam is doing fine, he's had some solid longevity and is still top 10. Taylor could definitely be doing better but Lover isn't one of my standouts from the album and it'll sound better in late Fall and Winter.

OneRepublic had a little shot back when the song came out but they lost it after that. DCMA didn't really have much of a chance

Well at first it was only here for 2 weeks and then left for 3 months (or something like that) sooo, of course it wasn't gonna stay long  Plus I'm not a huge fan of NFR overall.

I don't think it's gonna happen. Wish we got something closer to Nightmare's sound.

 

Well luckily that opinion is not an unpopular one  Still can't believe those 3 came together and didn't make something amazing, what a major missed opportunity.

I enjoy CMA  It's very chill and sounds like it could be in an 80s movie. Less than 3 minutes long but doesn't feel like it's over in 5 seconds.

Well it was their first #1 and lasted 4.5 months, so I'd agree  It pretty much has a Best of 2019 top 10 spot on lock sooo

DCMA definitely won't be making it, but Graveyard still has a chance  Though it's only a small one.

Carly debuting at #2! Tove Lo getting a cute debut. Doin' Time already dropping out... MUNA is doing amazing on here. I'm still not the biggest fan, their music is okay.. 

[Green]

"Cruel Summer", "Soon You'll Get Better" and "Norman F*cking Rockwell" are some of my favorites non-singles of the year 

 

Recurrents: Always Remember Us This Way #1, Tiny Dancer, XO, Ride, Is That Alright?  

[potent]

The albums of the year so far I've listened to Broods, Foals, and Billie, I liked them to varying degrees, probably WWAFA is my favorite, then Pop Monster, then Everything Not Saved.

 

In Degrees, GTFA, Half Love, HDYS, and Religion

Ummm you need to get on that IMMEDIATELY

Wanted is alright, it didn't really have much of an impact on me at all. Plus it doesn't help that it's so short. I really hate this trend of singles being around 2 minutes and 30 seconds long.

Well it wasn't the first time  It dropped out after maybe 2 weeks back when it was first released, then came back recently.

I'm still a pretty new fan but I'm in love with them  I'd say their new album is even better than their really great debut.

Exhibiting taste  NFR is definitely my favorite from the album, it's so stunning. CS + SYGB are in my Lover top 5 w/ Cornelia Street and Daylight, plus a 5th song that I can't pick yet
