• • • 100 • • • Perfume Genius • No Good
From the singer-songwriter's third studio album, Too Bright - this song needed to make an appearance on my chart at least once. It's one of the many beautiful, heart-wrenching ballads on his acclaimed new record and for some reason resonated very well with me. Loves it.
• • • 99 • • • Ibeyi • River
This song was suggested to me by a good friend and I fell in love with it (although the play count is pretty low). Also, Ibeyi is on my artists to watch for the new year, and I am excited for more gems like this one on their debut in February.
• • • 98 • • • Jessie J & 2 Chainz • Burnin' Up
I've been following Jessie since day one and this song generally gives me life, very happy she let others take the songwriting wheel (but low-key hope she goes back to writing next era, too). Too bad this song flopped pretty hard worldwide, it's so catchy
• • • 97 • • • Icona Pop & Ty Dolla $ign • My Party
I don't know how or why I somehow managed to care about this song but it's cute (although trash ). It takes me back to fun summer nights and being stupidly reckless. A nice meaningless anthem!
• • • 96 • • • Tink • Tell the Children
This track is SO important (and I generally refrain from using annoying buzz adjectives). Tink released it for the whole #BlackLivesMatter situation going on right now and it's produced by Timbaland. She seems like a force to be reckoned with and I love her flow and singing voice.
• • • 95 • • • Ashanti • Don't Tell Me No
I'm certainly no Ashanti fan but Braveheart seemed like a fun joke to be in on. Wound up loving this album cut, a simply perfect R&B joint. Kind of shows what this bitch is still capable of!
• • • 94 • • • Zola Jesus • Dangerous Days
I've been a Zola fan for many years now (she's from the city where I go to school, too) but this song is kind of the only one I really used from her new album, Taiga. It kinda makes up for the entire album being mediocre, though, I love it.
• • • 93 • • • Jennifer Lopez & French Montana • I Luh Ya Papi
Wow, what a BOP. This is the perfect return to an urban sound for JLo, the video is hilarious and cute... basically a perfect lead single. And then they dropped the ball in favor of a ****** Max Martin rehash Disgusting, but I'm still getting my loife!
• • • 92 • • • Taylor Swift • Blank Space
Speaking of Max Martin rehashes... Only kidding. This is probably one of the best pop singles released in a good minute. Also, the best self-mockery in recent memory for such a huge star. This song converted many haters and it brings back so many funny memories for me ALREADY. This one time when it was first released these girls BLASTED it at a party and lost their **** and I was like... And thus begins the takeover.
• • • 91 • • • Bebe Rexha • I Can't Stop Drinking About You
Although Bebe Rexha has yet to convince me she's worth my full attention, but this EDM jam is so so so catchy and a great pop record. Too bad it flopped, but it's kinda too basic to do anything special. Lots of my friends used this song so it will always remind me of this year
