Anyways, this song is a BOP. Very joyful and charming. 2020 chart run: 32-30-27-20-17-14-11-10-8-10-13-16-20-24-26-32-...

"Cause like the weather, I change with time" Peak: #3 (3 weeks) | Weeks on: 12 Debut Date: 10.10.2020 | Peak Date: 12.12.2020
I wish I had a cooler introduction to beabadoobee other than knowing her from "death bed" because damn, this girl is talented. This is her first solo song that I decided to check out and it clicked with me almost instantly. Looking forward to what she'll bring in the future.

Yeah so um, my favorite track from Lover is far from unique. This was the obvious standout from the album and I wish it had been a big hit.

"Daddy, I'm afraid, won't you stay a little while? I never thought I'd see the day I had to say goodbye" Peak: #8 (1 week) | Weeks on: 19 Debut Date: 2.1.2020 | Peak Date: 4.18.2020
I believe this is not an unpopular opinion to say that this is Luke Combs' strongest song so far. Not only is this beautifully-written, but it's also beautifully-sung too.

"Who needs to go to sleep when I got you next to me?" Peak: #8 (1 week) | Weeks on: 16 Debut Date: 2.8.2020 | Peak Date: 4.11.2020
I honestly think this is a tad overrated. Not because I think it's underwhelming or something but because I think the other singles are much stronger. I have several people come for me on the Discord when I said it's the weakest of the first three singles lol, even after I said it's a great song. Anyways, yep. This is a bop.

"You work late for a job you hate that's never fit the plan" Peak: #6 (1 week) | Weeks on: 15 Debut Date: 9.19.2020 | Peak Date: 11.14.2020
Laura is so talented. She has such a pretty voice and she's blessed with a talent in songwriting. Even though this doesn't showcase the best of her ability, it's still a great eventful listen.

"I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you" Peak: #10 (2 weeks) | Weeks on: 20 Debut Date: 1.18.2020 | Peak Date: 3.21.2020
I appreciate how Halsey went personal with this era. The songwriting might still need some work but I hope this is a sign of her growing as an artist. As to this song, it's a jam with empowering lyrics albeit a little cheesy at times.

"I guess I'm the love of my life" Peak: #6 (1 week) | Weeks on: 16 Debut Date: 9.12.2020 | Peak Date: 10.31.2020
And this one is a discovery from Summertime Sadness tournament, sent by Ms. @mirza. When I said this is a bop, I meant this is a BOP. It got fucked in the tourney because it has to face a super strong opponent from the first matchup.

"From the second we met I knew things would change" Peak: #8 (1 week) | Weeks on: 17 Debut Date: 7.4.2020 | Peak Date: 8.15.2020
So this is a bop. The soft synth line is mesmerizing and while Dagny's voice isn't remarkable or anything, the catchiness of this song more than makes up for it.

The dark, hardcore, and aggressive nature of the song was needed to portray the anger in the message. A modern classic if you ask me. 2020 chart run: 15-13-9-8-6-5-6-8-8-10-14-16-21-29-38-off.

"Hips TikTok when I dance, on that Demon Time, she might start an OnlyFans" Peak: #5 (1 week) | Weeks on: 18 Debut Date: 5.9.2020 | Peak Date: 6.13.2020
One of the few instances TikTok makes viral an actually good song. The original is already a banger, and the remix even more so. Megan is the most hyped female rapper in the game right now and I'm glad she was because her songs slap.

Yep so this is a 2019 leftover. What's funny is, this was actually on its way out and almost dropped off earlier but suddenly I bopped to it daily again and it even climbed back to the top 5. Zara is pretty hit or miss, but when she hits she could make songs like these that took a long time for me to get tired of. "Lush Life" spent 76 weeks on the chart in 2016-2017.

"If I'm gonna die, let's die somewhere pretty" Peak: #4 (1 week) | Weeks on: 18 Debut Date: 4.11.2020 | Peak Date: 5.16.2020
So this is a new sound for Troye, and I gotta say, he pulled it off well. I love the production which is darker than his usual stuffs and Troye's sultry voice just works so well. I mean, there's a reason I'm a Troye fan right now.

Kim does have better but this is still a whole jam. I'm still waiting for the Halloween album 0.2 though, so I'm pretty excited for next year (or this year, now, I guess).

I remember listening to "go to town" and thinking to myself this girl has potential and with the right material, she could make it big. And this song has the hit material. I wasn't sure about it at first but in the end, I'm sold with the soft and breezy disco influence. 2020 chart run: 28-21-18-17-16-14-10-7-6-5-6-8-10-12-15-21-25-28-31-34-40-off.

"Words can never do the things that I need them to" Peak: #3 (3 weeks) | Weeks on: 18 Debut Date: 3.21.2020 | Peak Date: 5.9.2020
I've said this before and I'm gonna say this again, Jessie Ware is really bringing pop perfection in this new era. This is the first song I've heard from this project, and the lush minimalist production makes me fall in love with it on first listen.

This was MY bop for a moment. Sam Smith truly does shine on a pop jam like this, and it seems like they're really moving into that direction which I 100% support.

Another bop from miss Jessie Ware. Some artists wish they could make a bop as good as this one, and yet this isn't even among the strongest tracks on Jessie Ware's album. Gay club anthem.

"See my lips on her mouth, everybody's talkin' now" Peak: #2 (2 weeks) | Weeks on: 18 Debut Date: 8.29.2020 | Peak Date: 11.21.2020
If Jessie Ware shines in Disco music, Miley shines in pop rock style. This, dare I say, is her best song she's ever made so far. Sick bassline accompanying her great vocal performance.

Ignoring the irony that one of the biggest international hits in the year of worldwide pandemic is a dance club song, this one is a banger. This song just makes me want to get up and dance, even if only in my own bedroom.

This is the third highest madness discovery on this countdown. This came from Summertime Madness and sent by @humanshazam. I was rooting hard for this song because it's such an instant click for me. Loving the new romantic-ish vibes in this.
