#70 Camila Cabello feat. Young Thug - Havana

Ahh a bop. I actually didn't want to get into Camilas material, but this one was just too good and I said it from moment one whew. OMG was also a decent track, but this one surpassed it. Am very happy it actually smashed (with lots of help, but still). I would put Havana higher if it wasn't just a better and updated version of Same Old Love.. but still it deserves its place on here, even if it's not the most original song. 

 

#69 N*E*R*D feat. Rihanna - Lemon

I still rihmember the first time I heard this. I thought: what the flipping f is this trash? But lo and behold the grower of the year. Rihanna completely makes this track with an amazing rap verse. Pharrell does decently too, but Rihanna is undeniably the star of the show here. I've definitely warmed up to this one, as it's just a smart bop. I like the intro to Rihanna's part, LOVE Rih's part.. and I feel like the song ends smart with a supposed end, only to come back for 30 more seconds. Sidenote: but I really enjoyed NERDs album and it might just appear on my list next year ki.

 

#68 Dua Lipa - Thinking 'Bout You

One of my favorites of the album. It showcases her vocals the best.

 

#67 Loreen - Ocean Away

With the help of Fred Ball (who also helped on LOTB), Ocean Away is the best track of Loreen's EP NUDE. I actually quite enjoyed the whole EP, though Ocean Away sticked with me the most. It's a beautiful and emotional track, perhaps the only track of the EP that could fit on both RIDE and HEAL. It's a beautiful song truly, ugh ahh my ****ing fave. Not the last you'll see of her on this list x.

 

#66 SZA feat. Isaiah Rashad - Pretty Little Birds

And thus, I present to you the best track on CTRL. It rihminds me the most of her EP 'Z'. It's much better and more interesting than most of the tracks on the album, and deserved to be SZA's breakout track. Didn't really happen, but eaux well. 

 

#65 The XX - Say Something Loving

Sadly, I totally forgot about The XX when making my album list. Here they are though, and they still have one more appearance to make. This is just a beautiful track.

 

#64 Tove Lo - dont ask dont tell

A standout track on Blue Lips. dont ask dont tell is perhaps the most emotional track on Blue Lips. It starts out calmer than all tracks on Blue Lips, and its final chorus adds a bit more punch, but I liked that this stayed calmer than the Blue Lips tracks, mostly cause all of them are quite production-heavy for a Tove Lo album, so this was a nice change of pace.

 

#63 Tove Lo - bitches

And then we have bitches. ****ing sexy and I love the guitar in this. Really loved this one ever since hearing it in Lady Wood Phase I. The live version that was recorded for Spotify is also amazing.

 

#62 Jessie Ware - Midnight

A divine intro with interesting instrumental paired with Jessie singing in a high note. I wish the track stayed like the intro all the time, because whilst I like the chorus, the verses are so much, SO MUCH better. 

 

#61 Björk feat. Arca - Blissing Me

It's almost 2018 and I have yet to get into Björk. This track is prolly the only Björk track I listened to multiple times. It's truly beautiful, with harp and all. It's a very accessible ballad, where Björk sounds innocence on a love song like no other. Perhaps the best part of the track that her vocals are extremely well-used here, which is one of the things that stop me from getting into other material of her. Blissing Me is not heldback, but it's Björk giving the listener a ride through a peaceful world. 

 

And with that, I will see you guys back in 2018, and ofc a Happy New Year already

how DARE YOU say such things about SELEGEND's main pop girl masterpiece I AM DISGUSTED

 

 

Stanning for dontaskdontell on the other hand  it's severely underrated tbh

I cannot get into the new Bjo:rk x Arca music tbh... I think you should give a try to her early albums such as Post of Homogenic... they are perfections and much more accessible

[Dom]

havanaa a yasss. loves it.

anything by tove is good, even her fart would sound cool with production

dua's bops.

[Legend E]

Midnight slaying  

[KillingYourCareer]

STAN for the best song by Dua Lipa, Thinking Bout You  higher than Havana  

[theblackestday]

Havana and Lemon are those bops
Pretty Little Birds is the worst song on Ctrl 
Surprised to see Björk Blissing Me is kinda the worst song on Utopia but it's still great. Hope one day you'll see the light and get into ha

Edited December 31, 2017 by theblackestday

[Kiss It Better]

Havana, Lemon, TBY, Pretty Little Birds, bitches oh yess these bops 

[lightstheyblindme]

I hate Bjork and I've never heard a Bjork song I liked  

[Tsareena]

yes to everything in the last update except bjork 

[lhdang2000]

As much as I hate Camila, Havana is such a catchy track that I can't stop myself listening to it.  

Thinking 'Bout You is one of Dua's strongest tracks.  

 

[Bloomers]

Ahh a bop. I actually didn't want to get into Camilas material, but this one was just too good and I said it from moment one whew.

 

I felt pretty much exactly the same way.  Ireally had no interest in her stuff and I heard Havana one day and kind of loved it. It's a good song. 

 

The XX, Dua, Jessie, and Bjork

[volition]

A great update whew

 

Lemon, the best Blue Lips highlights AND Blissing Me?

#60 Demi Lovato - You Don't Do It For Me Anymore

I love shamelessly singing along with this one when no one is watching, whew. I was a bit scared this would turn out à la Stone Cold, but it's honestly great and a good representation of the album. 

 

#59 Demi Lovato - Concentrate

And with two Demetria songs out, I can confirm that this is ms. Demetria's highest peaking entrih. This mid-tempo, sexy song immediately became one of my favorites of the album, and I don't know why tbh. Whilst the album has many more obvious standouts, Concentrate just sticked to me more and can be fitted in any playlist. I like the usage of vocal effects, very effective.

 

#58 Kendrick Lamar - ELEMENT. 

Truth be told, this song is so amazing solely for the 'If I got slap a ***** as...'' so on. The verses aren't as hardhitting or fun as other tracks on the albums, but it's still a great standout on the album.

 

#57 Aly & AJ - Take Me

an 80s inpired synthpop bop, Take Me doesn't do a lot to impress, yet still impresses. It's way different than their other material, but still fits them incredibly well. Am definitely on the lookout for more music of these 2, I also really enjoyed their EP.

 

#56 Allie X - Paper Love

Pop perfection, ahh Carly Rae is shaking xoxo.

This one is a bop and my favorite of COLLXTION II. The video is a mess, especially considering I envisioned something entirely different, so that's a shame. But this one issa bop.

 

#55 Selena Gomez feat. Gucci Mane - Fetish

DESERVED BETTER, DESERVED TO SMASH. 

Gucci Mane's verse is wack, but the song is a great follow-up to Bad Liar. It still manages to experiment within Selena's sound, and while Selena isn't really known for her vocals, I feel like they are very well utilized here. It's a shame she followed this one up with Wolves, which is rather, safe. Still this one is an amazing track, and the best Selena Gomez track of the year, and that is the tea.

 

#54 Halsey - Walls Could Talk

One of the two standouts on HFK. This deserved to be an hour long, but its total isn't even 2 minutes long. Perhaps the most impressive thing of the song, is that the first time I listened to this, I didn't even notice it was that short. 

 

#53 Kacy Hill - Like A Woman

Best song of her debut album. Her vocals are at its best here, the production works well, but doesn't overpower her. Like A Woman is a unique love song that works well for Kacy. 

Also little funfact, DJ Mustard produced this song, but his 'iconic' tag of Mustard on the beat ho was purposely left out.

 

#52 Jana Burčeska - Dance Alone

Ugh pop perfection ahh. Macedonia doesn't really impress me much with their entrihs usually, but this one is different. Dance Alone quickly became a fan-favorite, and deservingly so. It's a more-than-enjoyable pop song. It was done extremely wrong by all of Europe, with it placing at #15 (of 17 songs) in the Semi-Final, and to qualify for the final, you had to reach top 10. Still a bop though.

 

#51 Kimbra - Everybody Knows

Perhaps the first song by Kimbra which I like, really LOVED. I am super pumped for Primal Heart and if it goes in the same direction as the singles, then it'll undoubtedly be her best album sorrynotsorry xo.

Everybody Knows is a clever way to rebrand yourself, and as a song is just amazing. 

 

And with that, the lower half of my top 100, is finished. xo

deserved 2 be much higher 

 

 

[theblackestday]

Whew at Demi having a 1-2 punch, I'm glad the superior song Concentrate won. One of my faves from the album too

 

You spilled the tea in that Fetish writeup.

Deserved to smash? ✔️

Excellent song despite a wack verse from Gucci? ✔️

Wolves being a huge disappointment after her two previous bops? ✔️

The best Selena Gomez track of the year? Debatable

 

Element obviously is that bop

[Samson]

ok yeah i agree with element. being on this list. it is a gr8 song. esp those lyrics

[rvx]

Fetish 

[Staryu]

Take Me, Paper Love, Fetish   also happy new year king
