Well, if nothing else, I won't be the only person talking about how much I love that song this year. "Cut to the Feeling" is also nice. i'm sure many other ppl will be too! 19 hours ago, Vilppu said: I wish Carly would serve something new but CTTF kills me still, it's better than a fair part of the standard album for me too. i wanna see the receipts 12 hours ago, Lazuli said: Someone's finally said it! glad we agrih some more sings coming next, thx for the comments
bluth Posted December 13, 2017 Author Posted December 13, 2017 70 - 61 70 PUSH LITTLE DRAGON completely unexpected bop from these ppl but it gives me huge inner city teas and it's AMAZING. i also thought i would drop in that i ended up seeing them live at a festival this year and the sound was ****ed up (NOT a drag about their music) 69 KITANA PRINCESS NOKIA i wish the majority of princess nokia's music was exciting as her throwing hot soup over a racist but she delivers sometimes. "MORTAL KOMBAT I'LL SEE YOU MANANA" is such a ridiculous and amazingly colossal hook which is what we NEED 68 CPR CUPCAKKE second funniest song of the year after hey hey hey. but nah i often really marvel at cupcakke's lyrical creativity at making the most explicit and inappropriate euphemisms. it doesn't hurt that the beats r usually good too! 67 CARAMELO DURO MIGUEL i often feel that miguel is always trying to fit in with the cool kids in an endearing way, but he delivered his own interpretation of a 2017 latin pop smash and u can't fault him for the fact that it bops hard 66 TAKE ME ALY & AJ aly & aj learn from the best that, if u'r going to make some cult pop bop for the gays, make it sound like e-mo-tion 65 I WANNA BE LIKE YOU IBEYI i feel like i'm gonna be dragged for this choice but this gives me big mid-00s r&b vibes and it makes me feel nostalgic OKAY 64 GUAP YAEJI now before y'all drag me i'm doing one song per album/ep on this list SO RAINGURL STILL IS YET TO COME OKAY. but while ep2 was (i guess) yaeji's unequivocal breakout where she really showed personality, i don't think that undermines her first ep in which she really expertly makes atmospheric bops which don't necessarily narrate nightlife, but vividly evoke it like a 3am uber ride through the city 63 STAINED GLASS REAL ESTATE tbf i'm not really sure why this is higher than some songs but real estate are kinda irresistible when they want to be 62 CALL THE POLICE LCD SOUNDSYSTEM i think lcd soundsystem occupy this awkward space now where they used to really represent the crowd who were too cool for cool stuff, but now they're a bit too hip to actually represent that now. but anyway i'm not exactly sure what this song is trying to be (is it political) but it gives faint blondie vibes so i guess it works 61 SLIDE CALVIN HARRIS we all know by now that calvin is super calculated (a mystery how it didn't work out with taylor) but, to his credit, he can be good at what he does, and so i call this, begrudgingly, an effective summery bop. oh and frank sounds great too linkz Spoiler
Playa Playa Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 This update Caramelo Duro, Slide and Call the Police in particular > No one should drag you for including I Wanna Be Like You! It's a groove.
Eeveelution Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 I like Slide but I don't LOVE it, good for him for experimenting though, I guess. CD is one of the least boring songs on Miguel's album. I Wanna Be Like You is an interesting Ibeyi pick.
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 13, 2017 ATRL Moderator Posted December 13, 2017 PUsh and sweet are so good they make up for the rest of the album. Hmm kitana is 2016? No? That’s why it’s not on mine.
ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted December 13, 2017 ATRL Moderator Posted December 13, 2017 Call the police is good. So is I wanna be like you. Idk why people would drag ibeyi.
Αnt Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 The looks I used to get when I would blast CPR around certain people classic cupcakke.
MusicLoverDude Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Look What You Made Me Do and Cut To The Feeling Take Me is cute too

Slide, Take Me, CPR, Caramelo Duro were all v good and while LCD's album was cool, I wasn't really feeling this song.
TheWayWeWere Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 CPR is lowkey a bop guilty pleasure for me Caramelo Duro honey for ears Take Me is sooo good, such a great comeback from girls
Red Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 "Call the Police" is the song that I keep coming back to from that LCD Soundsystem album. Kind of disappointed in the album, to be honest, but not that song. And I'm sliding out of the thread.

Tom Vercetti Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Trying to pick favorites: Caramelo Duro is hit worthy. Love how it sounds similar to feels. Guap was one of my early yaeji favorites Slide is huge. Deserved slightly more.
bluth Posted December 13, 2017 Author Posted December 13, 2017 60 - 51 60 BETTER SIT DOWN BOY CONFIDENCE MAN a random discovery i made while getting my haircut a few weeks ago, all three of the songs these ppl have released are pretty irresistible and serve deee-lite vibes so if u stan kitchsy pop bops then i recommend! better sit down boy continues this kitschy vibe while delivering a pure dopamine rush of a chorus which i challenge anyone to resist 59 S.O. KELLY LEE OWENS kelly is great at making electronic tracks which feel ambient and nuanced while not being overly forced, and the opening track to this album is pretty blissful and serene while using a nice range of subtle influences 58 PLIMSOLL PUNKS ALVVAYS possibly one of the most unexpectedly infectious albums of the year, plimsoll punks is, really, a delightfully simple song, but having a song with a pure desire to be joyful and infectious is, often, the most satisfying and comforting thing we can demand from our music 57 LIST OF PEOPLE (TO TRY AND FORGET ABOUT) TAME IMPALA this is good but not i-can't-believe-this-wasn't-on-the-original-album-good so i guess we know who won the battle of the 2015 side b album rejects hihi. but it's still cute nonetheless and continues currents' aesthetic of turning social anxieties into beautiful, acidic landscapes of molten synths and viscous emotions 56 IT TAKES TWO LIL YACHTY FT. CARLY RAE JEPSEN BECAUSE I CAN. the best vocalist in pop is also an amazing hip hop vocalist, are we surprised? it's also nice to hear carly sing on something that isn't an e-mo-tion reject too 55 DON'T SAY NO SEOHYUN amidst the current ariana drought, the yours truly piano is deeply appreciated, but this song takes that idea and pushes it in a different, more bubblegum direction, delivering an amazingly infectious chorus 54 HAVANA CAMILA CABELLO there's something really disarming about havana, from the way it turned a michelle-who-thought-she-was-a-beyonce into someone who actually successfully laid four graves in her wake, to the fact that it really sneaks up on the listener. before you know it, that latin piano riff is wedged in your brain, a part of your heart clings to that deliciously satisfying hook, while the rest of your heart is, somehow, in havana. oh and it gave young thug a hit. what's not to love? 53 BETTER MAGGIE ROGERS maggie rogers is one of the few reddit-hyped artists i can actually get behind because i think she has great potential, being able to evoke beautiful alaskan landscapes in her songs through her marriage of cold electronic music and a warm, folk heart. better goes a step further incorporating outisde noises into its production which magnifies this feeling being with nature and experiencing a moment of clarity 52 NAIL POLISH MAI LAN 51 ONYANKOPON WEDNESDAY CAMPANELLA there's a real sense of wonder and imagination that animates wednesday campanella's work, from their choice of strangely satisfying noises in their songs to their unconventional song structures - and onyankopon delivers just that, the drop which appears around a minute in is a moment of pure joy linkz Spoiler
bluth Posted December 13, 2017 Author Posted December 13, 2017 100-51 so far, top fifty starts tomorrow xo Spoiler 51 Wednesday Campanella Onyakopon 52 MAI LAN Nail Polish 53 Maggie Rogers Better 54 Camila Cabello Havana 55 SEOHYUN Don't Say No 56 Lil Yachty It Takes Two 57 Tame Impala List Of People 58 Alvvays Plimsoll Punks 59 Kelly Lee Owens S.O. 60 Confidence Man Boyfriend (Repeat) 61 Calvin Harris Slide 62 LCD Soundsystem Call The Police 63 Real Estate Stained Glass 64 Yaeji Guap 65 Ibeyi I Wanna Be Like You 66 Aly & Aj Take Me 67 Miguel Caramelo Duro 68 Cupcakke CPR 69 Princess Nokia Kitana 70 Little Dragon Push 71 Syd Dollar Bills 72 Spoon Hot Thoughts 73 Carly Rae Jepsen Cut to the Feeling 74 Ionnalee NOT HUMAN 75 Taylor Swift Look What You Made Me Do 76 Sampha Plastic 100C 77 TWICE Likey 78 Ralph Tease 79 ABRA BOUNTY 80 Ronika All Comes Back 2 U 81 Lizzo Water Me 82 Cardi B Bodak Yellow 83 Poppy Interweb 84 Fischerspooner Have Fun Tonight 85 Feist Wish I Didn't Miss You 86 Lana Del Rey Summer Bummer 87 Pixx Romance 88 Blue Hawaii Belong To Myself 89 Cut Copy Black Rainbows 90 Tove Styrke Mistakes 91 Ariel Pink Acting 92 Jacques Greene Real Time 93 Danny L Harle Me4U 94 Shea Coulee Cocky 95 Goldlink Crew 96 NAO Nostalgia 97 Phoenix Tuttifrutti 98 Turnover Sunshine Type 99 Gorillaz Strobelite 100 Remy Ma Shether 101 Katy Perry Bon Appetit
MusicLoverDude Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Havana It Takes Two is ok but not my cup of tea tbh
SLIME Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Strip That Down in the top 50, didn't see that coming! Call the Police is really good so not sure why I stopped listening after the album drop. LD coming thru was a nice surprise + Kitana was the only thing by her I vibed w that much tbh U nailed it with Havana but same way it snuck up on me I got bored with it pretty quick too
World Eater Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 It Takes Two is THE random bop I was waiting for my whole life Also liked S.O., Slide, Call the Police and List of People, which was the only song I truly enjoyed from Tame Impala's EP.
Playa Playa Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Ahh yes I'm here for It Takes Two! I lowkey didn't want Camila to bang but Havana is just too good.
Eeveelution Posted December 13, 2017 Posted December 13, 2017 Oop, a couple of songs which may or may not be on my list.
smholiv Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Don't Say No I see my slight impact yay Wednesday Campanella had some incredible stuff this year, I liked Slide a lot too (would probably place on my top 10 western songs) and Yaeji is great stuff too!
Lazuli Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Call the Police is amazing Stained Glass, Plimsoll Punks, List of People
ATRL Moderator Samson Posted December 14, 2017 ATRL Moderator Posted December 14, 2017 omg yaeji and okayyyy @ CPR and princess nokia
jose168 Posted December 14, 2017 Posted December 14, 2017 Stained Glass and Darling are both immaculate with dem chords. We love bedtime music i FORGOT about It takes two Let me see if i can scan and remove something from my list. Call the police and caramelo
