Hi everyone  I thought I'd give this a go seeing as I've been keeping track of my favourite albums of the year and have a good idea of what my favourite singles of the year etc are. I'll try and come up with some graphics of some sort but I won't make any promises because I'm lazy and useless with stuff like that. I'll be doing a couple of lists but I probably won't go too overboard. For now, the lists I'll be Best Of-ing are

 

relatable

[K$Ellie]

Slide is trash, hate that sing  The Cure was done wrong, it's such a bop  

Love On The Brain is great but a lil overrated  Feel It Still and TMYLM are cute

[JGibson]

Feel It Still + The Cure + Tell Me You Love Me + Love On The Brain 

[poki]

I'm here to support a fellow Sims Stan 

[madonnas]

Humble is so good, used to think it was the best song on DAMN but now I'm smarter

 

GOAT is a cute song, but Kitana is Princess nokia's musical peak.

Replies because I'm extra // sorry for another stupid ****ing notif

lotb, slide, the curr, humble all failed to make it. whaaat

I'm a mess tbh. They really did deserve better but the bottom five rungs of the top 50 were incredibly versatile and they could've been placed in any order and I would've been happy honestly

Slide and Humble deserved better but at least they made it to HMs

 

LOTB won't even make my list because it already charted last year nnn

I know  

LotB would've been on some kind of songs list had I been a member and done Best Of last year but it deserved a mention at least. even if it was just so i could vent at Rih

How did these not make the top 50?

 

"The Cure" is one of the year's best songs! Same with "Love on the Brain."

 

Slay at the "Flame" mention though - Tinashe snapped on that bop.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here

Did anybody?  some of my 50-41 placements are lowkey a mess (but i needed to represent some of the ones i thought would be less prevalent on the lists) so expect less love for a bit

checking out some of the EPs from your lists atm. Really liked Maggie Rogers

um love yourself a bit  Slide ain't trash and 'LotB' and 'overrated' don't go in the same sentence together

as someone whose opinion on DAMN will not be voiced, I'll just stay content that this is a singles only list

I still need to listen to the rest of 1992 Deluxe ngl

UNORIGINAL'S BEST OF 2017

SINGLES HONOURABLE MENTIONS

 

The songs that weren't quite good enough to make the Top 50 but deserved a lil mention anyway. These are mostly songs that I didn't get into as much as I should have in 2017 but that I enjoyed nonetheless. I won't delve too deeply into them because they're only HMs but hopefully I go over some songs that you guys enjoyed too. They're in no particular order

 

Slide - Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean & Migos

Disco/funk was absolutely NOT the route I was expecting Calvin to go down but it surprisingly worked incredibly well. The chorus is an insane earworm (and so are most of Frank's bits tbh) and Calvin's production is absolutely top-notch. This could've snatched the #50 spot tbh.

 

HUMBLE. - Kendrick Lamar

 

 

I mean... what is there to say about the song that hasn't been said countless times before? It was a fantastic way to reassert Kendrick as modern reigning rap royalty and Mike WiLL's piano riff is undeniably one of the most infectious things to come out of music in 2017.

 

The Story of O.J. - JAY-Z

 

Its status as a single is debatable (basically it's not really) but this absolutely undoubtedly a brilliant song and everything from the lyrics to the production to the sample to the music video is awesome in every way. Another contender for the #50 spot except for the line about Jews

 

G.O.A.T. - Princess Nokia

 

I'd never really looked into Princess Nokia before this so this was the first PN song I properly checked out (hence its placement on the list) and I was very pleasantly surprised. It's an excellent brag for Nokia as an underground rapper and I wanted to recognise her because she's just cool in general too.

 

Feel It Still - Portugal. The Man

 

2017's unexpected alternative hit. Something about it is infectiously catchy and it's just a fun slice of psych-pop with a great bassline

 

 

Chanel - Frank Ocean

 

Poor Frank got relegated twice. I do love this song though and the opening lyric works so well as a statement. I never properly got into Blonde so getting more into some of Frank's songs and features this year has been fun.

 

 

Love on the Brain - Rihanna

 

The only 2016 song I was genuinely considering putting on the list. Rih did this so wrong though. Easily one of the best songs on ANTi and an incredibly deserving single that deserved a music video more than anything. I won't ever forgive Rih for paying this absolute dust whilst it actually started the organic hit trend so the saltiness is probably why it was relegated over songs that were admittedly less deserving.

 

That's it for single honourable mentions! Honestly, some of these are probably better than songs that actually made my top fifty but I'm awkward and stubborn and had a genuinely tough time deciding what really deserved a place in the top fifty and what was left just outside of the ranking. This is the first time I've tried my hand at anything of this sort so any feedback at all would be very welcome and I'll try to take it on board for the Singles #50 - #46 which I'll probably do tomorrow. I'll attempt to do some graphics but don't be surprised if there's nothing

sorry for the mention spam. if you want me to stop let me know. again, i've never done anything like this so idk if mentions are something we do before starting a list and whatnot  

 

Omg at all of these missing your singles list  Makes me excited for what did make it  

And you could've left Flame off entirely and no one would be mad at you

[Fenrir]

Screaming at the HMs. Most of those deserved to make the list imo.  

[Mr. Loco]

Love on the brain is a masterpiece 

 

Feel it still is also very catchy 

[volition]

‘Neither Susanne Sundfor - Undercover or Fleet Foxes - Third of May in the top 100 is an absolute catastrophe on Pitchfork's part.’

 

why does this guy on reddit sound just like you  i hope these are on your songs list too

 

and LOTB, Chanel 

[prézli]

I love Tell Me You Love Me. But SNS is rubbish.

[Body Electrician]

TMLYM is great. Perched for your top 50 

[Diarrhoea]

Tell Me You Love Me was ROBBED

 

[Lazuli]

Humble only an HM? Gurl....

The Cure, LOTB and TMYLM are cute  kii I totally forgot about Flame

[TheWayWeWere]

omg, what a nice list

Slide is cute jam

I don't really like any Tinasha songs, but Flame kinda slays me

TMYLM ew @ comment it's best Demi song 

The Cure is bop, I like it

LOTB still slaying after years

[Little Dark Age]
