Billboard: 20 Sadly Underrated Pop Songs From 2016
Quote:
How were these songs not smashes? These tracks by Zayn, Tinashe, Little Mix and more should have dominated the year.
2016 was another great year for pop music — and not just based on the singles that ruled radio and helped define pop culture. Beneath every No. 1 hit were dozens of undervalued gems, some created by superstars, others by newcomers just wading into the game.
Foxes, “Cruel”
Låpsley, “Heartless”
Zayn, “Like I Would”
Tinashe, “Superlove”
Bridgit Mendler feat. Kaiydo, “Atlantis”
Florrie, “Real Love”
FRENSHIP feat. Emily Warren, “Capsize”
Dua Lipa, “Hotter Than Hell”
The Knocks feat. Carly Rae Jepsen, “Love Me Like That”
Shura, “What Happened To Us?”
Hanna & Andrea, “Always On My Mind”
Matoma & Becky Hill, “False Alarm”
Little Mix, “Touch”
NAO, “Inhale Exhale”
Maggie Rogers, “Alaska”
MUNA, “I Know A Place”
Phoebe Ryan, “Chronic”
Allie X, “Old Habits Die Hard”
Tegan and Sara, “U-turn”
KDA feat. Tinashe, “Just Say”
Quote:
It’s worth noting that Tinashe is the only artist that appears twice on this list… and it’s because one underrated Tinashe single simply isn’t enough to demonstrate her unique skill of being unjustly overlooked by pop radio.
Billboard recognising tinashe's power!
