8. Visitor - Of Monsters and Men
Great song. Kept it out to make way for new and old blood. It's very 80's.

[Leo ✔]

"Visitor" one of my top songs of the year.

Gorgeous, humongous-sounding song
Even though I was hoping for more, at least Sharon avenged the robbery of "Seventeen".

How is this worthy of a bottom 10?

BAN DJDAVE FROM ANY FURTHER RANKDOWNS!!!

7. Like I Used To - Sharon Van Etten & Angel Olsen
There was a sort of retro feel to this song. A little like 70's Springsteen. I dug the piano progression. I prefer Sharon's vocals to Angel's, but I like the harmony both tones create.

[wrip]

man but seriously though, Like I Used To has really connected with me this year. I heard them perform it live this year and ever since I just feel overwhelmed with emotion everytime I hear it. Like the instrumental is magical, and both Sharon and Angel just sound so good together. But the big highlight for me are the lyrics, I just really felt like this song is what I needed to hear this past year

I thought "Like I Used To" was a top 3 lock.

[Daryl the Beryl]

10: Brando - I've been digging more of Dacus' music lately, and the writing and vocals on this a great.
9: Witchoo - More jamming cat
8: Visitor - Sorry, this was the least interesting song in the top 10. Great song but it shoulda left long time ago.
7: Like I Used To - Great vocal performances from SVE and Olsen. Shoulda been top 5, but. ugh. Regarding my Triple AC post earlier. None of the stations who added new Ed Sheeran material on Mediabase added this song, and the one who added it didn't play it regularly. EXCUSE ME FOR ONCE! (leaves the corner)

[singingrulebritannia]

my condolences, Kyle, Recordyear, CarnoTorrential, and Anthony
This is the song with the most top 10s in the rankdown.

5. The Angel of 8th Ave. - Gang of Youths
Awesome and fast song song finally gets the respect it deserved. One of my top songs of the year.

For the record This is way better than both Dayglow songs combined

[singingrulebritannia]

my condolences, Mayman and Wamdjones
The song I should have ranked #1 in 2020 Alt (and won there) became the song I ranked #4 in 2021 AAA (and finished #4). Now that sounds about right.

At least the correct one benefits from being newer. but neither deserved top 10 slots.

[singingrulebritannia]

my condolences, James, Trilogy, Leaf and Lordeftones
This song somehow pulled off the "no bottom 50s" trick twice, but this time, its high rankings weren't high enough to bring it to first place again.
