Billboard Top 20 Rankings

[MilesW1998]

So basically this is how it's gonna go. We have 6 tiers ranging from s**t to great, and numbered points from 0 to 5. Each song placed in a certain tier will add a point(s) or none at all. Note, this all my opinion, and your welcome to disagree and leave your own thoughts as well.

0-s**t

20. XO TOUR Llif3

God, talk about generic and boring. For one the title itself just screams "click-bait" for me, and Lil Uzi Vert just cannot sing at all! And the lyrics try to go for dark and you almost feel for him with the line "all my friends are dead" but he goes off topic so much, it becomes unbearable. This might as well be my least favorite song of the year so far.

19. Body Like A Back Road

Ugh, bro-country trash in the top 10. Well for one, this song sounds like a melodic rip-off of Uncle Kracker's Follow Me back in the early 2000s, especially with the guitar and Sam Hunt's awful vocals. And the fact that this song sounds like a mix of country (Despite the fact it's not) pop, and even gang vocals. But the worst part is the lyrics, who compares a woman's body to a back road? And this was #1 on the country charts more than Cruise was. That's right this beat Cruise for most weeks at #1 on the country charts. Someone please end this.

18. Congratulations

Did we seriously need another Post Malone song in the top 10 after the boring disaster that was White Iverson? It's a step up from said 2016 hit, but seriously Quavo? Is it just me, or is Quavo the most overexposed of the Migos crew? Oh and the lyrics are him bragging and flipping it to the haters, and Post Malone just sounds so awful. Ugh.

17. Mask Off

The only memorable thing about this is the flute. That and Future cannot sing, he just mumbles through this song incoherently. There is just nothing to this, it's boring, it's bland, and it did not deserve to be a top 10 hit.

16. Strip That Down

Speaking of Quavo, we have my least favorite 1D member entering the top 20 this week. And he did it by taking the Chris Brown route. This is just not new, and so out of left field, I never thought this would have caught on. The bassline is boring, the production's annoying, and Liam sounds like he's trying to be the white British version of Chris Brown, especially with that one line about alcohol, at least he didn't say "f**k you back to sleep."

1-Bad

15. Redbone

So, am I the only one who finds this to be the most boring top 20 hit of the year, besides Say You Won't Let Go. I just can't find anything to enjoy from this, the production is dated and slow as all Hell, and Gambino's voice is grating as all Hell.

2-Meh

14. I'm The One

So, this got to #1 based because of name recognition right? But this just doesn't work as a #1 debut, especially with DJ Khaled just copying the old DJ Mustard formula. I mean come on man, even he's not doing it anymore! And then we have the artists themselves, and I thought Chance would be the best part, but nope, they basically turned him into a discount Quavo. Ugh, weakest #1 debut since 3 by Britney Spears.

3-Decent

13. Slow Hands

Not a bad song, I don't like the lyrics all that much, but I think this is an improvement after This Town. It went from boring acoustic, to a pretty decent folk song. And I think Niall sounds pretty good as well.

12. Stay

Verses on this song are pretty good and I like Alessia as a performer, but what kills this for me is the production. Zedd I like Alessia Cara as a performer, but those robotic vocals are not necessary. And the production doesn't sound like anything Zedd released in the last few years. The drop sounds loud and obnoxious, and I don't like how clean the production for an EDM song it sounds. If I wanted a loud, annoying drop I'd listen to The Chainsmokers, at least their drops have some personality. But I do have to compliment that they actually did the chopped up chorus correctly, having them based around the harsh synths, not the other way around.

11. Despacito

The original is better. I do like this song, but I feel Justin ruins the song with his Spanglesh, and Daddy Yankee's line just... I wish I didn't translate the lyrics. At least Luis Fonsi is good, and the production is fine, but there is one thing I want to say. This song needs to go away!

10. Shape Of You

Same as this, but I still love that xylophone melody. Ed is a good singer, the production is good, but this song should not have spent so much time in the top 5.

4-Good

9. Now Or Never

I should have ranked this lower because of the trap beat, and how slow and dull it is, and the fact that this sounds like a retread of Needed Me by Rihanna. But, I actually like Halsey's voice in this, for some reason. I mean, it's better than New Americana.

8. Something Just Like This

Even if the drop is a retread of Roses, I actually like the superhero comparison, it's better than One Call Away by Charlie Puth, that's for sure. And Chris Martin is a pretty good singer on here. And let's not forget the guitar in the final chorus is just amazing, even when put behind the synth drop.

5-Great

7. Attention

Charlie's best song to date. I came in with low expectations, but it was much better than expected. The production is much better, more strength with the bassline and guitar, and the only thing I don't like is Charlie's high falsetto. Look, it didn't appeal to me in See You Again, what makes you think it'll work a second time.

6. There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back

This is a huge step-up from Mercy and Treat You Better. The guitar is great, the bass is amazing, the chorus is infection, and that bridge is just great. Shawn, you treated us better with this, I'd like to see more of this type of music.

5. Believer

So, apparently Dan Reynolds voice and the percussion are bad huh. I don't see it, I see a great alternative rock song finally hitting the top 5 for once. Honestly, this band deserves it, they haven't had a top 5 hit since Radioactive. And I don't mind Dan's voice, the production is strong and endearing for me.

4. That's What I Like

Yep, Bruno's still got it. If there's one thing Bruno has that most MC's today don't have it's the energy, passion and swagger to make this sound good. Only he can make a song about riches sound good, because he actually has some finesse, and personality. Take notes people, this is how you do it right.

3. Unforgettable

So, why does Swae sound like The Weeknd, oh right all that reverb on his voice. Honestly, this is a great bop for me, Swae steals the show, and rightfully so, his flow is on point and the production fits well with all that reverb. French Montana though, he's decent, I'll give him that. This is probably one of the better urban songs to have caught traction.... almost

2. HUMBLE

Ah yeah, our lord and savior, just as good as when it debuted. But not as good as DNA though. HUMBLE was a great diss at his competition, and it still is, but DNA has this dark, passion, and energy and it's really great. Hell, HUMBLE isn't even the best song off of DAMN. But if this is to be his first #1, who am I to judge. Long live the king, may he continue to conquer the charts.

1. Wild Thoughts

Yeah, that guitar sample is what won it over for me in the end. Let's be honest here, the sample is the main reason why this is #1, and not just the name recognition with Rihanna. But still, even Rihanna can pull this off, even when she's white girl wasted on brown liquor. And Bryson Tiller sounds good as well, his flow is good and he delivers some good lines as well. It's my favorite song currently in the top 20 right now.

Total Score: 58/100

So a decent week, and I hope that it can get better, hopefully.

[MilesW1998]

Well, new week, new songs enter. If there are any opinion changes from last week, I will address them, but if there is none, I won't and just leave them as is. I will be discussing my opinions for each new song though.

You know, it would have been a lot funny if this song had just peaked at #21 instead. You know, 21 Savage gets a song peak at #21, am I right? But still this song is s**t, and I cannot stand the vocals in this. The production is bland and generic trap, and it's just more brag rap about how much money he's got in his bank. Just skip this.

15. Bodak Yellow

Oh great, the female Kodak Black, as if the male one wasn't bad enough. I'll be honest, this is better than Kodak, and I am glad to finally see a female MC hit the top 20, but I really don't like the bragging and not so interesting production. This could have been better, if she didn't mention that Kodak was her inspiration, which no, just no.

14. Redbone

This is still a boring mess of an Urban song. I have no idea how or why this peaked in the top 20, and I still can't believe everyone is saying this will peak in the top 10 soon.

2-Meh

13. I'm The One

12. Despacito

13 goddamn weeks at #1 is enough to make me hate this song. It's bad enough it only got popular because of the Bieber remix, but to be this close to tying with The Macarena for a mostly Spanish song, and sparking up the conversation that this will break a 21 year record baffles me. Uptown Funk! deserved better, not this.

I just really want a bunch of new songs to come in and hopefully they can make the charts better, because I actually don't have much to say about this week. Except that 15 weeks is too fucking much for our #1.

I think we can agree that Witness was a disaster for Katy Perry. Chained To The Rhythm debuted high, and fell hard, Bon Apetit was awful, and Swish Swish was a guaranteed flop. So color me surprise that the one way for her to maintain any relevance was to hop onto Calvin Harris' new direction of funk, disco, and ska music (Yes this song classifies as Ska) It has a pretty catchy chorus a la Katy Perry, the production is upbeat and happy, Pharrell is pretty good, and even Big Sean is decent in this. Not a bad song.

This Top 20 is not looking good right now. We have a stagnant #1, (Which I think is gonna lose it next week because Queen Tay-Tay is slaying right now) a #1 debut just broke a new longevity record, and we have a bunch of new songs enter the top 20. If there is any good news, it's that XO TOUR Llif3 is finally out, but my guess is that it will just re-enter because I think both Lil Uzi, Kodak and XXXTENTACION released new albums or something like that IDK, someone tell me what that's about.

Wow, so Yo Gotti teaming up with Nicki finally got him a top 10 hit after all! Too bad it's an utter monstrosity. I'm sorry, but as much as Mike Will has improved since songs like Black Beatles and HUMBLE were hit,s that doesn't mean everything he likes is any good. If anything he's gone straight back to making generic trap beats, with uninteresting lyrics, boring vocals, and brag rap that should have been ethered when Royals was a thing. God, Down In The DM was bad enough, Law was at least somewhat decent, but we shouldn't have given this guy another hit.

You know what, I'm on the bandwagon effect of calling this Despashito soon. The only reason this got to #1 was because of a Bieber remix, and nothing else. If this had become a hit on it's own, I probably wouldn't have been so hard on this, but nope this song pulled a Macarena and stayed at #1 FOR THE LAST 16 f**kinG WEEKS!! My God, I haven't seen this much exposure for a single artist since Drake earlier this year and last year too. God, let's hope that this song goes away soon, because I acutally fear this song could be the #1 song of 2017, and of the entire decade. Yes, this song could wind up beating Shape Of You, Close,r Uptown Funk and even Party Rock Anthem. And the fact this is now tied with a pop legend's best song ever for most weeks at #1. f**king end me please.

2-Meh

11. Sorry Not Sorry
You know, I thought this song was a good kiss-off to an ex-boyfriend. Then I found it, it's actually a kiss-off to the haters. That kind of ruined this song a bit. I'll be honest, I don't really hate songs that kiss off the haters, Hell, Shake It Off is one of my favorite songs off of 1989, and that was a kiss off to the haters. I actually like the more bassy and almost gospel production and chorus, and the pre-chorus is just so great. (I have a personal bias towards claps in music, see LWYMMD for that pre-chorus) but it's the lyrics that bring it down for me. I do like it, and I think it's a slow grower for me.

10. Slow Hands

4-Good

9. Friends
I've said that Justin Bieber is 2017's most overexposed artist, next to Drake in 2016, but as much as I've said that, I think I like this more than I should. I like the more electro-synthesized pop production, Justin sounds great, and the lyrics are pretty nice as well. It's saying that despite the falling relationship and if it ends, all Justin wants is to just be friends. It's a good song, with a good message, and yet, this could grow on me soon.

8. Believer
This song is still a pretty good rock song, and I don't get the hate as much as others. 

5-Great

7. Shape Of You
The VMA performance and the fact it's on it's 33rd week sold it for me. I may think Closer is the best song of 2016, but I think this is still a solid pop song, and a standout on Divide.

Let me be clear, I know what the song is about, especially with the title all in my face. I get that the song is about suicide, but I just cannot fully support this. It's not bad, but I just cannot really listen to this song at full length because of the message. Again, I don't hate it, but of all the top 20 songs, this is just... I can't even.

I'm not even joking when I say I think I should just embrace whatever inner Taylor stan I've got and just accept it, because dear God I love this song! I just love the more dark production this song has, in the verses and pre-chorus is just amazing, especially the claps in the pre-chorus. And I didn't pick it up at first, but the sample of I'm Too Sexy isn't nearly as bad as people are saying. Yeah, it's mostly a diss at all the beef she;s had with the Kimye and Katy thing, but honestly, this song slays imo. Katy Perry's Witness has never been all that good, and Swish Swish's video is terrible, and the song was only mildly catchy at best. But that pales in comparison to this. Welcome back to the top Taylor, may you conquer the charts with your Reputation.

Again, I just really love Taylor's music, probably more than I actually should. The overblown bass, the catchy trap percussion in the verses, the rap verses, especially the second part, the chanting bridge going "Baby let the games begin" I just really love this. It's catchy, it's fun, and it does feel like a bit of a anthem, just remove some of the lyrics and it's be better.

keeping an eye on this! Ever since the double agent left, I've had a top 20 rankdown hole in my life (Though Kumerai is still pretty good)

As for your opinions, I like Strip that down, I don't hate XO, Unforgettable isn't too interesting for me and I don't like There's nothing holdin' me back nearly as much as you do. However, we agreed on almost everything else! :)

[MilesW1998]

So, it's been about a month since the last top 20 ranking. So why not revive it right now, with a bunch of new songs entering the Hot 100 since then.

0-S**t
20. Rake It Up- Yo Gotti/Nicki Minaj
Down In The DM wasn't good the first time you made it Yo Gotti, so why did you think the second time round would be any better? This is basically your standard trap/strip club anthem, and it is awful. I thought 2017 was gonna be a GOOD year for Mike-Will Made It. He already had HUMBLE, DAMN, and even Black Beatles. But this is inexcusable, this is up there with other terrible Mike Will songs, such as 23, and Love Me. And the lyrics aren't any better, especially this little zinger, "They should bleed once a month, 'cause that what deez bitches do" which only makes me think of a guy bleeding from either his dick or ass, something I never want to envision ever. And then you have the worst part, Nicki Minaj, who basically just rhymes China with itself, over and over again. Didn't Nicki used to be talented, or something?

19. Mi Gente- J Bavlin/Willy William/Beyonce
God that annoying sound is just the worst! It sounds like a goat dying, over and over again. And yes, I didn't know this beat was from Willy's Voodoo Song either until I had to look it up. And while everyone has just suddenly fallen in love with this because, of course it features a Pulse favorite Beyonce, I still think that this song is awful with or without her. The lyrics are about how he wants to bring people together or something like that, but let's be honest, it's a Latin crossover hit, most people really don't pay attention to the lyrics of Spanish hits at all. 

18. Bank Account- 21 Savage
This song is bare bones and worthless. 21 Savage sounds boring and generic as Hell, and this production isn't any better either. Metro Boomin is a terrible producer, all he manages to do is make some of the dreariest and boring trap songs like this, and people just eat it up like it's going out of style. God, why do we keep letting this hit the top 10.

1- Bad

17. Strip That Down- Liam Payne/Quavo
The bass-line might be decent and I do like some of the lines Liam gives off like this, "You know I used to be in 1D (Now I'm out, free) People want me for one thing (That's not me)" But it's still this low for a reason people, mainly for the fact that it's not a good or subtle strip club anthem, Quavo is barely on this song, (Although that could be a good thing) and the fact that Liam is going for the Justin Timberlake direction of music. In others words, being as sexy as possible, but forgetting about what made Timberlake so damn enjoyable. He had some personality and swagger to him and his music. Liam on the other hand is lacking in that quality so much though, that it takes away any enjoyment from this song.

16. Bodak Yellow- Cardi B
So this went to #1 huh? Why though? There is really nothing to this, it's just a female version of Kodak Black's flow done marginally better. And yet, many on Pulse are quick to act like she's somehow better than all the other female rappers out there, including Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliot. But this is just like so many other boring trap anthems, with her bragging about how much money she has, while also telling off people who can't "fuck with her." It's slightly better than most other trap anthems, but not by much.

15. Despacito- Luis Fonsi/Daddy Yankee/Justin Bieber
Arguably the biggest song of the century, and I'm ranking it at #15. It's not really the overplay that burned out on me, I hardly listened to it at all since July, but this song just did not deserve all it got. My main reason for once liking it was because it added some charm to the Hot 100, it was fun and catchy, better than most of the stuff on the Hot 100 at the time. But the remix with Bieber burned on me more after listening to the original, and realized that this song would be nothing without the remix. And the fact it tied the record with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men makes it even more unbearable. I'm not gonna say it's the worst thing ever, or it's the end of the world like some, but I feel this song just didn't earn it with just getting arguably the most overexposed artist of the decade. 

14. Rockstar- Post Malone/21 Savage
I'm sure some were expecting this to be lower, but I have to be honest there are a few good things about this. For one, the piano I know sounds sampled from one of the sound files from Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and I kind of like how Post is trying to emulate what being a rockstar is, despite not being one at all. But this trap beat and bass, overtakes said piano, and some of Post's lyrics make him sound less like a rockstar, and more of a gangster. Especially when he references to shooting up people with a Uzi. That and 21 Savage is boring as Hell, not to mention he says he's a pop star, not a rockstar. While I know one poster will call this trash, like most of Post's discography is, I wouldn't say this is the worst song. I'd actually say this is his best song. Am I glad it hit #1, no, but it is slightly better than Cardi B though.

2-Meh

13. 1-800...- Logic/Alessia Cara/Khalid
Yeah, this is gonna be a tricky one to tackle. I'm glad it's in the top 10, but I do think this is one of Logic's lesser songs off the album. The song just doesn't stick in my head very often, outside of the "Who can relate" and the chorus, it's just not all that interesting. It does tell an interesting story about suicide, but it just feels forced, generic, sugar-coated and bland. Don't get me wrong though, suicide is a terrible thing, but I just don't think this displays that narrative of suicide all that great though. As someone who has had thoughts of suicide, I just don't think this is all that good of a song. Am I glad it's in the top 10, yes. Will I call it a timeless classic, no.

12. Feel It Still- Portugal. The Man
This is awkward, to say the least. It's not bad, I'll say that, but I think that this just sounds like a million other indie rock songs. The chorus is fine, but this dude's treble voice and high falsetto kind of kill whatever mood this song had going for it. Suffice it to say, I do not enjoy this song at all.

3-Decent

11. Almost Like Praying- Lin-Manuel Miranda ft. Artists For Puerto Rico


Okay, this is pretty weird. Seeing a song debut at #1 on the digital sales chart with around 250K sales and debut at the bottom of the top 20 is something I don't see very often. I don't like charity singles all that much, Hell, I think We Are The World is one of the worst #1 hits of the 80s, but I actually don't mind this song. I can't really explain why though, but I think it's because of the man behind it. 

4-Good

10. Shape Of You- Ed Sheeran
Yep, I still love this song. I thought that overplay would have burned this song for me, but I just can't help it. I love the xylophone melody, I like the guitar, Hell, I even like the humming in the verses. I just cannot hate this at all, and this will be pretty high for me in the 2017 RD, I'll say that.

9. Believer- Imagine Dragons
Still good song, it's far too overhated. I like the chorus and the verses, and all the instrumentation, and I don't mind the lyrics at all. This is still a good tune, nonetheless. 

5-Great

8. There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back- Shawn Mendes
This song is just so happy and great. It's Shawn's bets song since Something Big, and much better than anything off of Illuminate. 

7. Attention- Charlie Puth
Listening to How Long has slightly burned this song for me. But it's still a damn solid song, especially that great bass-line. It's still Charlie's best work, and I am actually hyped for that next album.

6. Sorry Not Sorry- Demi Lovato
Listening to that new album of her's made me love this more. While I should hate the fact the gospel-pop clashes with her voice, the chorus is just a Chance The Rapper knockoff , and how her pop rock sound is much better. But I hate to say it, I love a good pop-gospel sounding song, and I'm glad this was her biggest hit.

5. What Lovers Do- Maroon 5/SZA
Maroon 5 is back to it's more funk roots people! And they brought SZA for a ride. I am so glad that they ditched Don't Wanna Know and Cold as the lead singles for this, because I love the bass-line (It seems to be a somewhat running theme for artists that I thought were bad last year) and the production is just fantastic. I even don't mind Adam's falsetto either. And the melodies between Adam and SZA work well enough for me. I just cannot hate this type of song at all. 

4. Too Good At Goodbyes- Sam Smith
I never realized just how much I missed Sam Smith. I love how he's channeling more with gospel and R&B and I love that choir in the chorus. The production is fantastic. There's a reason why he's the male Adele of music, he's smart with his music, and mature about it. I'm glad this is in the top 5, and I hope to see more success out of it.

3. Thunder- Imagine Dragons
I'm shocked this is finally starting to pick up traction. I've been listening to this song for months and even with the repetitiveness in the chorus, this song doesn't bother me at all. I love the chorus, the vocals are great, I even don't mind the pitch-shifted voice singing "Thunder" in the chorus. I'd actually say that this band gets way too much hate and I love this song, and I'm glad to call myself a fan of this group. 

2. Unforgettable- French Montana/Swae Lee
This song is just so damn amazing! Swae Lee does a great Weeknd impression, and he just makes the song all on his own. The production is great, French Montana is better than usual, and at least they can stay on topic in this song. See people, I don't hate every urban song on the Hot 100. 

1. Look What You Made Me Do- Taylor Swift
Yep, still love it. It has burned on me a little, especially with Ready For It, me impatiently waiting for them to release the album, the track listing, and the official second single. But I still love this song regardless. I understand why people hate it though, but I just can't really go and hate it at all. 

Total Score: 59/100

Nice update!

0-S**t

20. Gucci Gang by Lil Pump
Even though it is short, (I think around 2 minutes or so, compared to what I consider the normal 3 minutes and 30 seconds or around there average) this is still utter s**t. It's some of the most basic bragging lyrics, and production. He repeats the line "Gucci Gang" like 50 times ad nauseum. Not to mention the fact he brags about how much his bitch does cocaine and about f**king his teacher, just why?! Do we really need more of this basic as Hell brag rap entering the top 20 every single time!? 

19. Rake It Up

18. Bank Account

17. Mi Gente

1-Bad

16. I Get The Bag by Gucci Mane ft. Migos
I don't really know what to say about this. It's not the worst song with Migos, but did we really need more of them, and with Gucci Mane as well? They've had their fair share of hits this year, but we really don't need another top 20 hit, with these guys again. Not to mention that the song isn't all that interesting at all, it's basic and just boring for me.

15. Bodak Yellow

14. Despacito

13. Perfect by Ed Sheeran
Well this should be controversial. This isn't really the worst song off Divide, but this is basically Ed Sheeran ripping himself off by making Thing Out Loud part 2, except worse. And I actually like Thinking Out Loud, but this is just trying too hard to do something that he already done before in another album nearly 3 years ago. Why couldn't we have Galway Girl be the top 10 hit in the U.S.?

2- Meh

12. Gorgeous by Taylor Swift
This song is such a non-presence, it's easily the worst of the three songs that have been released off Reputation. I've already moved on from Look What You Made Me Do, and ...Ready For It is my new jam right now, but this just seems like she's ripping off 1989 style production, making it worse, and the writing feels clumsy as Hell here. If she's trying to sound sexy, she's failing here. And I do not like some of this production choices, it feels like parts are missing in between this song to fill up space. I could give her first two songs a pass, but not this though.

11. rockstar by Post Malone ft. 21 Savage
Yeah, this song has slightly grown on me. Post does seem like a chill guy who I want to like, but his songs have been awful. At least he is improving though. Also I heard his next single, Candy Paint, and I actually really like it.

10. Feel It Still

3-Decent

9. 1-800... by Logic ft. Alessia Cara & Khalid
I don't know why I have it decent, I just felt it.

4-Good
NONE

5-Great 

8. Believer

7. Havana by Camila Cabello ft. Young Thug
Finally! A Camila Cabello song I actually like, and I like it a lot. I will admit, this feels more like a Summer hit in retrospect, but ever since I heard this, I knew it was bound to be a hit. And a hit it became, and I am so glad it has. The production is great, Camila's voice is much better than usual, and I don't even mind Young Thug's verse. It's a damn great track that I'm glad is becoming bigger. 

6. Attention
How Long might have helped this song burn on me a little, though that could be because of how similar they are. But I still think both of these songs are better than everything else Charlie has done before this. And I still stand by this being a damn great song.

5. Unforgettable
Yep, it's still awesome.

4. Sorry Not Sorry by Demi Lovato
I hear her new album was not all that good, I think this and Tell Me You Love Me were the best songs off the album, but I don't hate those any less. I do like the more gospel pop tinge she's going for, even though she comes off as bitchy and trying to diss her haters off. I'm just more glad that artists are trying to take a stab at more gospel and it's making it big in the mainstream... Speaking of gospel becoming big.

3. Too Good At Goodbyes by Sam Smith
This song is slowly burning on me, but I still love the more gospel like R&B production, and I love the choir, which is basically just Sam's voice layered over each other multiple times. 

2. What Lovers Do by Maroon 5 ft. SZA
What can I say, the bassline is awesome, Adam's voice is great, SZA is great, everything about this is jsut great.

1. Thunder
This is by no means the best Imagine Dragons song, not by a long shot. But, damn it that chorus is just infectious, and so is the rest of the production. So as of now, I'd say this is the best song in the top 20 right now.

Total Score: 53/100
