yuh yuh's top 50 of 2021 [50-46 revealed]

[yuh yuh]

Hiii!

For the 8th time, I'll be compiling my list of top 50 most listened songs of the year.

It has become like a tradition for me to do it, like a way to wrap this year into one album representing memories that the year has left and say goodbye to the year!

I'll be welcoming you guys to follow me on this journey again!  


As always, the list will be compiled on the third Saturday of December, so I'll start presenting the list after December 18th!

In the meantime, let's remind the #1 of 2021,

the legend The Weeknd himself with his catchy, captivating and retro/modern hit "Blinding Lights"!



I'm tagging the people who followed the list last year. If you want to me removed or added, let me know!

Yeeees can't wait!!

[yuh yuh]

Soo, let's start! A bit later than I had originally planned, but what can I do

I'll present the songs in sets of 5 songs in each.

Song #50

Alok, Sofi Tukker & Inna "It Don't Matter"



Commentary: Discovered this song in summer when my friend played it in her car. Love the catchiness and the bass in the song. Also, as a child, there were quite several Inna songs in my playlist so a nice encounter with her again!

Song #49

Lillasyster "Pretender"



Commentary: A song from Melodifestivalen 2021 (Swedish pre-selection for Eurovision). Again, really catchy song. A pop-rock song with some elements of metal in it. Was my personal winner of this year's Melodifestivalen and would've been a nice addition to Dark Side and Zitti e Buoni as a rock songs in last year's Eurovision.

Song #48

The Weeknd "Take My Breath"



Commentary: Catchy song by The Weeknd. It had a really strong start in my playlist, but then somehow started to get less plays from me after a month or so. However, it still remains firm in my playlist so I still really like it. I don't know, but The Weeknd songs make me feel cool. The Weeknd is one of my absolute favourite artists and I'm endlessly glad that we have him in our music scene.

Song #47

Elina Born "Linnuteid"



Commentary: Eurovision fans know Elina as a part of Estonian 2015 Eurovision song "Goodbye To Yesterday". Elina is one of my favourite Estonian artists and I find "Linnuteid" a really good song. It's catchy and I feel that the video and the backing vocals give so much additional life to the song. Unfortunately, in Estonia, the song hasn't been very popular. Showed up in our Spotify charts in the beginning, but quickly vanished.

Song #46

Colapesce, Dimartino "Musica leggerissima"



Commentary: Even though, in last years I have checked some competing songs in Sanremo (Italian competition which winner goes to Eurovision), but I hadn't noticed this song when Sanremo was happening. But, later this year, when Ana Mena was about to release her Spanish cover of this song, I listened to the song and I was immediately hooked. I find this song as retro-modern, infectiously catchy. It also has cool lyrics. The song placed so low only as it joined my playlist only in the end of November and my tracking period ended on December 18th. But, I expect this song to appear on my 2022 list and do big things there.

"Pretender" was also one of my top favorites this year! Also, it was very accessible so it would've performed decently in Eurovision!
