Best Songs:
About WILD: "the original is so much better" You know the tea

The remix is still cute-ish but Alessia doesn't really fit into it that well.
Good Grief is okay, a meh song from a meh album (though it still made my list, ddd.)
Hold Up is cute

Yesss @ Foxes being on here

Amazing lives up to its title.

Quote:

After listening to this band's previous records I have to say I was expecting so much more from their comeback this year. Despite being a decent sized effort it really fell short compared to their previous lead single, it got old really fast and the video is nothing special. Maybe next time.

Well, I'm glad that I didn't actually put "Something To Believe In" on my top 100 now, because you pretty much said what I would have said.

"Amazing" and "Good Grief" are fine, also.

Eyes Shut is one of my favs

Hold Up was ok. Agree with what you said about the singles...as an album they are great, but on their own, the dont hold up as well

holyground

Amazing puts me in a good mood

Hold Up, Good Grief, Eyes Shut

TOP 100 SINGLES

Shura
"What's It Gonna Be?"

I just can't resist this 80s/90s revival trend in pop music lately. This song might sound cheesy at first but it's impossible not to sing along. I'm not really a fan of youtube stars so I don't really expect much from her but this is a good start. The video is so messy but pretty original.

Lukas Graham
"Mamma Said"

One of my favorite new artists of 2016 (not like there was much to choose from anyway). As much as I liked their album I have to say this song was a terrible choice for a second international single,. They took ages to release a music video and when it came it killed the momentum they had built. Such a shame. That said it's a pretty cool song, just not strong enough.

The Veronicas
"On Your Side"

I can't explain how these girls get better and better with each release. I'm never really checking for them but whenever I run across one of their singles I'm instantly hooked. I'm loving this new midtempo ballad direction they're taking, it suits them so well. This song is lowkey powerful, I wish it was longer.

Gwen Stefani
"Misery"

It's a shame how low Gwen has fallen. Not that I don't like her new music it's just that it's nowhere near from her glory days and it would have been much better if she had ended her iconic solo career with Early Winter. This song was a decent effort, it should have been her lead single, it just came out way too late.

Emeli Sandé
"Hurts"

If I had known Emeli Sandé was finally coming back this year I would have been so excited. Thankfully I didn't really get my hopes up given this song is a certified disappointment. It's like she was holding back and failed to deliver whatever made Our Version of Events so epic. It's not tragic or anything but it's just frustrating how she went nowhere with it.

The Chainsmokers feat. Halsey
"Closer"

It was until I listened to this song and saw how big it got overnight that I came to realize that I'm living in a different generation. We're not in the 2000s anymore when artists used to struggle to build up momentum before making it big. This is 2016 and all it takes is a bunch of millenials streaming the same song at the same time and there you have it. That said, it's a decent song just way too overrated.

Birdy
"Keeping Your Head Up"

Let's not fool ourselves this song is a blatant try to pull a Florence + the Machine. Even the video looks like something Florence would have made. I wasn't really a big fan of that style until I managed to listen to Florence's latest album so I'm giving this one a chance. I guess it works for Birdy and I'm not gonna lie it's a pretty catchy song.

The Big Pink
"Hightimes"

This song reminds me a lot of Sweater Weather (anyone remembers that?) it's not the conventional indie pop song you'd expect from a band like this. There's a certain dark melancholic mood to it and I really like that. I'll be checking for more from this band.

The Strumbellas
"We Don't Know"

The Strumbellas hold a strong resemblance to The Lumineers' old sound. Truth be told they're nothing special, just another indie pop act waiting for their 15 minutes of fame. Sadly they're kinda late to the one hit wonder party and their main bet "Spirits" never really took off. This song was their follow up single, not too bad either. I like the video.

Kygo feat. Maty Noyes
"Stay"

I have to say Kygo's album is one of the main reasons I've decided to stop being completely biased against EDM this year. I love how it's filled with fresh organic beats and not so bad lyrics and vocals. This song was my jam for a few months in the first half of the year and I still listen to it from time to time.

Thanks for your comments.

Surprised to see Closer here

Ya me perdi un bloque OSH

90 - 81
9 | 10

Quitando a la sobrevalorada de Beyonce todo bien
Asesinaste a Something To Believe In y The Girl is Mine CALLA
Pienso exactamente lo mismo de Bastille, no fue un mal regreso pero no era lo que esperaba
Parachute sera muy pop y un insulto a su viejo estilo pero me agrada

80-71

No me encanto este bloque
Odio esa cancion de Lukas Graham, y ese autoplagio de The Strumbellas

Closer es muy... basica

no entro en mi lista, sus otros singles son mucho mejores
Lo mejor del set es Birdy, masterpiece

prézli

VERONICASSSSSSSSSS. YA$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Misery + We Don't Know + Mama Said

MusicLoverDude

Very surprised Closer is here

On Your Side

Yeah, Gwen's material isn't as good now. I think Used To Love You is still better than it though.

Brandon

Closer & Misery

potent

Objectively Closer isn't that great but as a catchy pop radio song it works just fine. I don't even care that it got overplayed tbh.
Stay is kind of addictive. You should check Dominos by The Big Pink if you don't know it already.
