125 genghis kahn - miike snow
Cute song, though the autotune or whatever that voice is doing can get annoying.
124 don't wanna know (feat. kendrick lamar)- maroon 5
If you thought Bad Blood was too much, this must've been unbearable to you. Kendrick cashes in a verse lamer than his 5-second one on The Greatest, and Maroon 5 hops on the tropical house bandwagon a little too late. However, this is one of their more listenable and least grating songs in recent memory.
123 scars to your beautiful - alessia cara
Alessia preaches again, but at least not in the "I'm too cool" manner like Here. It's a good song with a nice message I guess.
122 drone bomb me - anohni
When you read the lyrics of this song, it's like wow.
121 love me like you - little mix
Cutesy song. It has a nice throwback vibe, though it's weaker than their other singles on Get Weird.
120 wtf (where they from) [feat. pharrell williams] - missy elliott
I guess this is the kind of single Missy needed to get back on track, with it's trendy Pharrell sound (but Pharrell on the song is unnecessary) It was a minor hit I guess, but she didn't capitalise on it.
119 a change of heart - the 1975
Strange single choice, because the song can be a bit of a bore, especially compared to their other singles. But it's lowkey sound and narrative of changing your mind about someone is palpable.
118 delilah - florence + the machine
This song was far from a highlight when I first heard it, and I was kind of disappointed at it being chosen as a single because there are sooo many better songs. But I think it's grown on me a lot since. I really liked the video and it lent some meaning to the song's energy for me.
117 la devotee - panic! at the disco
No this is not a LaLingo title. But this is the best song on P!ATD's slightly disappointing album. Idk how to explain why this song is good, or why it's so low here even though I'm saying this is the best song.
116 we don't talk anymore (feat. selena gomez) - charlie puth
The only acceptable song that Charlie Puth leads in. The lyrics, while a bit lame, are relatable to a sad boi lyke me. And Mexican Madonna's whispering saves the day of course.
115 close (feat. tove lo) - nick jonas
One of the many songs Tove features on this year. The sexual energy is cool I guess, though I feel the song could be more exciting.
114 lo - lisa hannigan
A cute lil folky ditty that's all.
113 soundcheck - catfish & the bottlemen
It's a cute rocky song but then it get a tad too serious in the second half which I thought ruined the mood of the song for me.
112 i'm in control (feat. popcaan) - alunageorge
I'm not that familiar with AlunaGeorge other though I have a slight inkling of what their music sounded like. And this song is not what I thought their sound is. It's pretty generic dance music? Still catchy and a bop, but void of whatever people praised them to be.
111 sugar (feat. francesco yates) - robin schulz
A cute house song I guess.
110 words - birdy
Strange single choice as it's one of the less interesting songs on Beautiful Lies. But at least the song is beautiful.
109 boy problems - carly rae jepsen
Messy! I can appreciate this at times but not as a single. The video seemed to show a lot of promise but sitting through the whole thing it was boring.
108 love me - the 1975
This was quite a disappointing lead single for The 1975. This song is way even further out than their funkier stuff like Girls and it wasn't really as addictive. But I guess I grew to appreciate it when I heard them live. It's pretty fun I guess.
107 kill em with kindness - selena gomez
Cringe lyrics, dead delivery, lame beats, it has everything to make me hate this song. But it was immediately a a favourite of mine when Revival came out, I don't know why. It was a weird single choice, and was completely ruined by that boring ass video.
106 me too - meghan trainor
God this song... I don't know my opinion on it. It can be a bop, and it can be too much, and it's freaking Meghan Trainor. Why is she making my life so hard?
105 wild horses - birdy
Lovely song with a lovely and inspiring message.
104 one dance (feat. wizkid & kyla) - drake
Cute.
103 atlantis (feat. kaiydo) - bridgit mendler
Such a welcome change for Bridgit. She also sounded like she had a different sound in her compared to her peers, and she fully realised that in here.
102 love on the brain - rihanna
Well well well who knew that Riri had that inside of her! It's not really one of the best songs on ANTi but it deserves all the praise that it gets. And it deserves to smash too BUT she refuses to do a video for this so boo you *****.
101 closer (feat. halsey) - the chainsmokers
And poor Halsey misses the top 100! This freaking song ugh I am so frustrated by it and I am so frustrated by everyone who cannot stop listening to it because ENOUGH it's good the first few times but ENOUGH!!!!!!
