The Easy Remix slays 

It's a nice one Might still prefer the original but not by much

The new Aly & AJ song is kinda good, I'm sure it will end up in my countdown

and the song was blocked once again  I will be relistening to most of my top 20 favorite 2020 albums (including Plastic Hearts at #3) while my countdown is on hiatus so there's a chance it could jump to #1. We'll see!

 

Luckily it did end up there It's very nice and chill.

Oh yes  I live for pop! But there's a decent amount of indie and alternative songs as well

[Pinkoverblue]

8/25

 

 

Foxes getting a cute debut. Midnight Sky retiring next week  

 

Aly & AJ slowly climbing, I wonder if Potential Breakup Song will debut

[JGibson]

Aly and AJ top 10  Can't wait for PBS(e) to appear here. 

 

 

[Lord Of Countdown]

Prisoner + Slow Dancing

[potent]

Need to hear the upper debuts. Hollywood is cute but doesn't really grab me

Chinatown deserves to be top 5

Good to see Easy remix charting too, not sure if I would treat it as a separate track though, maybe just if I'm running really low on new music lol

Leona's Lovebird is such an underrated song

One More Sleep

[Remmy]

NOTE 1: Over the past few weeks I've mostly listened to a majority of my 2020 Best Albums/Singles/

Non-Singles/Discoveries lists, which significantly benefitted Miley and gave her the first #1 of the 2021.
NOTE 2: Also, in an unexpected turn of events, I actually got into a little K-Pop for the new year? ?

and even a random 2014 J-Pop EP.
FUN FACT 1: ...speaking of which. Weki Meki is the first K-Pop group to appear on the countdown with "COOL"!

(EVERGLOW's "LA DI DA" could've made it here if it was slightly newer... and it would've even been a #1 debut.)
FUN FACT 2: "Midnight Sky" is the 2nd song to EVER spend its whole 5-month-long run in the top 5, tying the historic

record that only Ryn Weaver's "OctaHate" achieved in 2015!!! MS chart run~ 2-1-1-1-2-3-3-2-4-5-5-5-4-4-5-1-1-4-4-4-2
FUN FACT 3: "Midnight Sky" is the 3rd song to technically last over 22+ weeks on here, following

"Silhouettes" by Friendly Fires and "Peach" by Broods. All of these had to wait until the new year to retire.

It was just a little gift for the fans (and nostalgia lovers), so it was never gonna make it on here. Especially since Slow Dancing isn't old yet plus they just dropped a 2nd single today.

Leona's Lovebird is such an underrated song

Same, which is why it left so soon

And that's exactly where it ended up!

If there were less differences then there's a little chance I would've had the original version return, but Mark changed the beat up enough & Kacey had new lyrics.

It definitely is! Probably in my top 10 from her

Delirium is full of even more bops  Which is the main reason her fans kinda hate on it. Codes should've been a smash
