Oh my god, this is incredible. And so important! WHO ELSE is doing it but Veezus?!
I can't really argue with your rankings too much, just stand in awed appreciation. Also, I'm screaming at ***9.

Yoncé does that really cool trick, first introduced in "Haunted," where she warbles in some sort go Creole-Illuminati-Parseltongue cadence and summons the attention of everyone within earshot

For real, I agree that the Flawless Remix is basically a meme delivery machine, it didn't really elevate the original.
I say Bow Down is best

2015'S MOST ANTICIPATED
I want them back. Want them back. Want want them, want them back. (#11tbh)
10.
Cam'Ron and/or Juelz Santana and/or DIPSET but never Jim Jones alone, really.
Not holding by breath because they're a) black b) men from 3.) Harlem, but should the almighty Dip come through this year as a collective or individually (me nuh like mixtapes) and make good on their promise of a comeback, I'll ofc be spread eagle listening.
9.
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
And while I'm on the subject of past-prime middle-aged men I should've left in high school, the Kings are back...soon! With Rick Rubin (que'lle surprise) at the helm, there might be another Magik or Californication in the pipeline.
With that new guy, however, let's shoot for better than I'm With You, yeah?
8.
METALLICA
They killed Lou Reed. What now?
7.
RIHANNA
But she ain't releasing **** tho who we kiddin.
6.
DON OMAR
With Romeo Santos out of the way, I'm kinda gonna need my other ace boon spic to deliver the goods.
He spent the year resting his fists. Fine and dandy. Now? Música, plz.
5.
BRITNEY/MYAH
This talk of a GIORGIO FVCKING MORODER collab has got me brick. A sing with Igloo? Not so much. We'll see.
4.
YE
More Beautiful, less Yeezus, yea?
3.
CL
Avenge BoA, cross-eyed queen.
2.
G
Incoming debut of the year.
1.
HAIM
If anyone from their camp is reading this, a title suggestion?
Stakes Are Haim.
So clever, all by myself, yeah.

I agree on the fact that we need more Rihanna.
Honestly, TRF.

You're doing everything possible to avoid actually posting your favorite songs and albums of last year, aren't you?

We're definitely getting new Rihanna music in the form of the Soundtrack for Home and It's going to be a sequel to one of her best albums. 'Rated PG' is coming.
I'm always ready for another installment in Britney's mixtape series, maybe one day she'll release Tha Spears III.
Can't wait for Kanye to debut his album one song at a time as the theme for Kardashian opening credits

Somehow the ∞th season of The Real World is more of a priority than this is right now.
But I should* be back to pad up this post with a blurb or five. BBL.
In the meantime, I leave you with my first batch of my fifty favorite (read: not best) TRACKS of 2014.
50.
enrique iglesias feat. descemer bueno & gente de zona
"bailando"
Does Auto-Tune cancel out Castilian akthenth? Because it's only now that I'm noticing this song's surprising lack of one. Anyway. This Latin radio BEHEMOTH eclipsed everything else on the air like that mole used to eclipse everything else on his face. There's so many reasons to hate this: the "new artist spotlight" of a guest feature trend sweeping the industry for whatever reason. Sean Paul opening his mouth to say anything after 2007 on the English mix. And he, Enrique Miguel, of the two-decade nepotistic career cakewalk.
But there's nothing not to love about this. It's a green screen day off in the tropics, CGI palm trees swaying to and fro and chiseled cabana boys and/or girls, bronzed and ripe for the picking, plucking, and subsequent pickpocketing. A postcard from nowhere in particular and exactly where you would rather be.
Sometimes, in the moral arm-wrestling tournament that comprises my music taste, the populist wins and the contrarian loses. Why fight it?
49.
ricky martin
"adiós"
Ricky's taken a bigger hit to his brand than he's had hits on the charts in the half-decade following The Immaculate Confession. Shame, that - "Adiós" may very well be the single most inventive song Martin's crafted his whole career: three languages are stuffed into its four minute runtime along with a vocal befitting the most fed-up of queens. Its sentiment is universal - a kiss-off for the ages. Meanwhile, the person in question is decidedly genderless and pronoun-less. The phrasing is cheeky, be it intentional or not: it's the mark of a man straddling the line between his glory days and his new truth, one foot out the door to the next whatever comes next.
Also: the Quad City DJ-esque " woo! woo!" is everything.
48.
conchita wurst
"rise like a phoenix"
James Bond decadence from the most confounding contestant in music competish history.
47.
jennifer lopez feat. jack mizrahi
"tens"
SHWAM!
I kinda set off a whole discussion on this one when it first came out. I retract everything.
But that "Work Bitch" shade. Ki. First week sales shoulda worked, b**ch.
46.
juan luis guerra 4.40
"tus besos"
His four- album imperial phase wrapped up twenty years ago. "Tus Besos"...comes close to exactly nan track on 'dem. But a new song by God Luis Guerra is most definitely always welcome, especially when it's bachata con inspiración - something the studio-construct, focus-grouped fcukboys that've risen in his wake could learn a thing or two from.

Amazing list
I love Bailando. It's so good. I'm not a big fan of dance Enrique, this is great.
I'm actually a huge Ricky Martin fan and have most his albums and I really like Adiós. Possibly the best male pop star.
I really really want Conchita Wurst to do the next Bond theme it will e the best one of all time.
I didn't knowJuan Luis Guerra so I checked him out while I was here. Good track.

I'm a dope for not commenting on your year-end previously, but i'm here now!
Great 2015 Albums list. I remember you being a hardcore RHCP fan years ago, so I love that you are still excited for what's next from them. So am I! Hope it delivers. Also love that you chose a pic of Anthony with his OFF! hat. Though really, try to find a recent pic of him without it, you're more likely to find Loch Ness/Sasquatch/****** Joke Premise. And seriously, the idea of some sort of a Dipset album being released this year fills me with joy! Even if it's just Cam or Julez, that's good enough for me. Not familiar with your next set, but your write-ups are always hilarious, so it makes me feel like I did. Love the moral arm wrestling bit, which I def relate to, as well.
Looking forward to what's next!

Oh, "Tens." How can ATRL constantly criticize Madonna for being an old desperate hag and then give J. Lo a pass?
I'm not too familiar these other songs (what is Latin music?), but that "Bailando" write-up is perfection and exactly why I always look forward to everything you do.
